16 ounce can. Clear light gold color. Foamy white head. Fragrant bitter citrus nose. Light biscuit malt base. Zesty hop profile is loaded with notes of unripe pineapple and green onions. Crisp and clean lines. Very drinkable and nicely balanced. Well done.

Got in a BIF from Dragginballs76. 16 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours moderately hazy pale golden/yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, wood, mint, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, wood, mint, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, wood, mint, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is an excellent session IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink; with the modestly bitter/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome Idaho 7 showcase. Very vibrant, dank, earthy, and fairly juicy hop complexity; nice pale/wheat malt backbone for the ABV. No residual sweetness from crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and great style example.

Top Hops, NYC tap: pours super pale with white head. Aroma is pretty light and mild... Earthy and lightly fruity. Taste is light, easy-drinking, with low bitterness. Idaho 7 very front and center given this is a single hop IPA.
