Canned January 15th 2020.

It pours a clear medium gold with a substantial head of lingering foam with lots of lacing.

Smells of orange zest, grapefruit, quite floral overall.

Nice bit of bitterness in the taste. Orange zest, grapefruit, I get some toasted malt, especially noticeable to me in the finish.

Light bodied but I reckon that it does a fine job of avoiding watery.

My, I do like this. It's superior to most of this class of IPAs and has the lowest abv. Well done, Bell's.

Six pack to pass quarantine time away. Orange pour. Nose is floral and pine. Tastes of light pine, biscuits, floral and malt. Watery palate. Not as bitter and hoppy as most sipa.

Can. Golden body. Frothy white, diminishing head. Aroma of toasted grain, grapefruit, orange, citrus. Starts moderately sweet and finishes lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/velvety texture, lively carbonation. A clean beer with a body that has some heft to it, unlike some session IPAs, ones that taste like bitter water. There's citrus/grapefruit aroma and taste, just not a robust amount of it, but then this is a 3.7%, 110-calorie beer. So points for that.

Earthy orange, biscuit malt, grapefruit peel and pine aroma. Golden yellow with large white head. Moderately sweet orange, creamy biscuit malt, and mildly bitter grapefruit peel flavor. Good body. Excellent - the best lower alcohol beer outside of England.

Fizzy hop water. I was happy to see the Session IPA die out back in 2017 and I'll be glad when this zombified version of it craps out in 2022.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 2/14/20. Dark gold, slight haze, large frothy white head, good retention. Aroma of pine, grapefruit, pale malt. Taste is pine, resin, grapefruit, mandarin, pale malt. Thin, lingering bitterness. Great for what it aims to be.
