We’ve created an easy to drink crisp, hoppy ale that is truly pale in color without sacrificing the hop character you expect in an IPA. To make a delicious "sessionable" beer, we selected citrusy centennial hops and an experimental variety from the Northwest U.S.. Look for this unique hop character balanced by the backgroudn nuttiness of Maris Otter malt. Not too filling, not overbearing-just laid back and drinkable!

12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a medium sized frothy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of bitter herbal hops and toasted malts. The taste is bitter herbal hops, faint apple and not much else. Thin-medium bodied. Meh.

Bottle from the Folsom BevMo. Pours light orange gold witha a slight creamy white head. Aroma is mostly malt and cooked fruit. Med minus body. Flavor is light malt and light citrus. It is hoppy. It’s decently bitter. Beats the crap out of BL fer sure. My nomination for a day at the lake.

Smell is a little metalic. Nice head on a clear pale lager lookin thing. Taste is up there as far as hoppiness goes but the mild alky attitude makes it easiier to like for this lager lover. Good smooth co2 makes this easier to enjoy. Yes, hop bitterness builds thru the session and continues to medim IPA levels. Very acceptable beer that cariies true ipa flavor without the magnification factor on the attitude. I probably would not clasify this as a terribly on style ipa.

Bottle. I’m glad to see that this style of low ABV \"IPA\" is becoming more standard, and I’m eager to see how this one pans out. Pours a clear light gold with a decent head that dies to a thin film in short order. Aromas are weakly hoppy... soap, lemony citrus and a little resin are what I’m picking up... almost like Pine Sol or something. Flavor is weakly malty with a decent, but not overpowering hops presence that fits in line with expectations from the aromas... lemon, pine and soap. Not a hop tea, but not exactly earth-shattering. Still, I could sip down a few of these and still get the lawn done.
