Tap at bowsers. Very light pale & clear. Big hop BO nose. Taste is bitter citrus and a little watery. Its missing that typical viscous thing with most hoppy IPA. Not much pf an IPA fan, but that little bit of co2 makes it easier to take.

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 5/30/2017. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lime, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/tropical/fruity hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lime, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lime, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/fruity hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from lingering bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and slightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a great session IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/fruity hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Very vibrant and fairly dank hops; with a nice malt backbone for the ABV. Very flavorful and never watery feeling. A very enjoyable offering.

Thx! 355 ml. can sampled @ a Samson & Gert Tasting. Golden hazy, little white head. Nose is dank passionfruit, little cheesy, weird faint sweet vanilla, messy in that way, sweet peach. Smell is better than taste. Empty taste, mineral, okay low green grass,... Body is empty, mineral, weak. Promising smell but the rest wasnβt for me.Surprised that this is top 50 within the style.

Not a big fan of session IPAs (they remind me too much of light beer), but this one isnβt too bad. Pours a very light, hazy yellow, with minimal head. Tropical fruit and citrus fruit aromas, with some grassiness. Flavor is very citrusy, with a touch of grass in the finish, which is very dry.
