Deep gold to amber with a frothy white head. Mango and floral aroma. Taste is mildly bitter the whole way through. Dry at the end. Straightforward. Decent.

12oz can. Boring, bland Session IPAs are among my least favorite beers. This isn't the worst example, but doesn't quite nail it either. Massive, foamy white head on top of a filtered yellow-orange body. Medium bodied. Hops are more resinous and piney than juicy or tropical. Decent enough balance. Not that impressive overall.

12 ounce can into pint glass, best before 7/4/2018. Bit of a gusher can. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, toasted biscuit, light caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with decent strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, toasted biscuit, light caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, fairly sticky, and slightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.7%, Overall this is a delicious session IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful with an impressive malt body for the ABV from Victory malts; and I loved the Centennial, Zythos, Amarillo, Galaxy hop profile as expected. Juicy/light dank hops, balanced malts. Not overly bitter or malty either way. A very enjoyable offering and impressive style example.

12 oz. can. Pours pale gold with a white head. Aroma and taste of mild citrus, light malts, caramel and floral notes. Not too exciting.

Mix 12 pack for super bowl in honor of patriots previous victim. Light orange pour. Nose is piney bitters. Taste of pine, light malt, some lime, lemongrass. Medium bitter. Not bad.

Drank directly from a can so I assume its somewhat pale colored ale. Its recreation right? Why bother to seriously rate it? Drink it right from the can snapping it open the moment it falls intah yer hanz. Poppin the lid I swear I smelled a fleeting sharp pine, but now its faded. Taste is medium IPA. Quite punchy bitter pine like stuff. A little veggie at times. It is veggie like, considering the low %. Put away yer smardfone and go warthirz no bars, dude. Perhaps a little refreshing in the end.

Can't beat a freebie from a hotel bartender in Delaware - must've spent too long at his bar! Enjoyed back home in Blighty.
