Reviewed from notes.
Can to lager glass.
Appearance: semi-cloudy burnt yellow color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: citrusy hops, super light tropical fruity hops, some melon/honeydew -ish sort of hoppy tone underneath with a very nice clean malty backbone
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas very nicely to fine bittersweet and malty backbone; finishes with the tropical fruity to melon-y hops
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness along the tongue, hop assertiveness is extremely faint
Overall: lovely IPL I wouldn't mind coming back to.

((Tap) hazy, bright yellow golden colour with a small white head; aroma of jam, honey, short hit of burnt rubber at the start; balanced flavour, more sweetness and less bitterness than usual for a pilsner, long light bitter finish

One Mile House, NYC tap: pours deep gold with a white head. Aroma is cotrus and grass. Taste is nicely hopped. Body is not very light. Nice and hoppy but still very much a lager. Good IPL.

Draught @ Albion. Hazy bright yellow with small whitish foamy head, slight citrus peel aroma, low carbonation, sweetish taste, smooth and slightly bitter finish. Very smooth and easily drinkable brew despite the high alcohol content.

Thought this was a nice IPL. Good fruit-froward hop aroma. Golden-orange pour. Nice stuff.
