Pine and a little grapefruit. Not a bad little beer, though there isn't a ton of character. Pours golden with ok head. Bitter end. Can.

Can as pictured. Mild pine nose? Maybe. Pours like a somewhat viscous pale ale. Thinner craggy head. First taste is stronger APA effects, bordering into the IPA territory. They're attacking from behind by circling around the front! Bitter lingering longingly lasting thicker viscous mouth coating chewing on green grapefruit rinds IPA nastiness. Turpentine I say! No, just kidding, almost tastes like turpentine. Yes, a totally on style IPA; go figger. There, another ubiquitous mega-available IPA. IPA lovers, put this in yer bucket list. hehehehh

12 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus peel, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, cracker, biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is an excellent session American pale ale! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink; with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and never watery feeling for the low ABV. Very vibrant and dank Columbus/Mosaic hop character; nice malt backbone for the low ABV. The Vienna malt is well represented. A really enjoyable offering, and awesome style example.
