Can, day 3 of the Beer Republic Green advent calendar. Medium hazy orange amber, straightforward pineapple-citrus nose. Flavor is more of the same, a bit thin body and aftertaste if I'm being honest. Pretty easy drinking though, would be good for a longer session.

Ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish off-white head that fades quickly. Aroma of very fresh and bitter hops with some grapefruit, light pine and resin noticeable, along with a dash of malts and a little sweetness as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Fairly mild malt profile at first that shows a little biscuity elements, but some subtle sweetness and yeast flavours as well, with more of the flavours coming from the hops of course and a dash of pepper and resin towards the end. Aftertaste shows some dryness, hardly any sweetness, but a good crisp and fairly bitter hop bite from the larger hop presence, but almost nothing from the malts nor any real alcohol burn at all. Overall, a soft and understated IPA that shows not enough malts for the style and only a sliver of the hop aspects here, but some mild bitterness and subtle sweetness makes this passable. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Bryant Park), New York on 02-May-2021 for US$3,99, sampled a few minutes before hiking the Dark Hollow Falls in the National Park, with my wife and three kids on 15-May-2021.
