Bottle poured to pint glass. Hazy, light gold. Piney, grassy. Light on the hops and citrus but but very drinkable for what it is--a low ABV session IPA.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy peachy gold with a white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces slightly. Aroma has a good amount of citrus rind with bitter citrus, a bit of grass and a light grain note underlying. Flavor combines earthy citrus and grass and sweet grain backbone.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 5/21/2015. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy deep golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, lemon zest, orange peel, light pine, light caramel, honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/tropical hops and moderate malt sweetness; with good strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, lemon zest, orange peel, light pine, light caramel, honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, lemon/orange zest, light pine, light caramel, honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical hops and moderate malt sweetness; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and lightly creamy/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is a very nice session IPA. All around good robustness, complexity, and balance of citrus/tropical hops and moderate malt sweetness; and very smooth and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
