12 oz bottle from Half Time. Pours a murky orange color with a thin head and some light, drippy lacework. Aroma is light and lemony, with a little pale malt and bread. Tastes more bready, with a light citrus hop presence. Though the citrus is stronger in the aroma, the bready malts standout over the citrus in the flavor. Light bodied and clean with a soft feel, doesn’t get watery, but it does finish pretty quick and just a little dry. Decent, not great.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a large off-white head. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit and some subdued hops coupled with a large lemon smell. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive grapefruit and zest in the flavour with some deep herbal and grassy hop bites as well, coupled with a good malt backbone and some light yeast elements and a twinge of alcohol on the finish. Aftertaste is relatively similar with the grapefruit and resin the strongest flavours coupled with some lighter citrus notes and a hint of sweetness at the tail end. Overall, this is on the bitter side of the citrus-IPA range with a lot of bitterness, but more from the fruit than the hops. Still, nice to sample and a good beer for the hot summer days of New York! I sampled this stubby twelve ounce bottle purchased yesterday at Whole Foods in New York (Bowery), New York on 28-May-2016 for US$2,99 sampled in my hotel room in Lower Manhattan on 29-May-2016.

12oz bottle pours a clear orange with some very frothy white head. Nose has some dried citrus peel and pepper, a little beery with that sticky slightly stale thing, some orange. Flavor is better with orange and grass and mild pepper, lemon, grapefruit, soap. Dry finish. Crushable.

Draught @ Albion. Slightly cloudy bright orange with small foamy whitish head, faint floral hops aroma, low carbonation, mildly hoppy taste, thin body, abrupt finish. Decent IPA, nothing spectacular.
