5.8/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
Slightly hazy golden and copper coloured body with a thin, single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of bright grassy and resinous hops, earth, tang powder, curacao, grass and herbs along with a bit of alcohol - this must be severely dry hopped - it smells great! Light-bodied; Deep bitter malty and nutty flavour with a bit of caramel, light apple and pear sweetness and a touch of herbs, but the earthiness is noticeable. Aftertaste shows more of a grassy, herbal and earthy flavour with some lighter hop elements, a touch of malt and a little sast iweetness - this is fairly mellow and uninspired, but at least it isn’t assertive or pungent. Overall, worth trying if you like Light IPAs, but basically, just a grassy and slightly resinous hop flavours throughout. I sampled ths twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 12-July-2015 for US$1,79 sampled at home in Washington on 03-November-2016.

Bottle at home, 21/08/16. Lightly hazed orange amber with a decent egg shell white head. Nose is orange pith, toasted bread, melon, caramel, grains. Taste comprises bitter orange, straw, toasted malt, caramel, cantaloupe melon, soft bread, biscuit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with hop bitterness. Decent enough session gear with an old skool malty base.

Bottle from GBBF 2016 and drunk at home. Hazy orange amber colour lasting cream head. Resin hoppy aroma a little crystal malt i thought. Some sweet tropical fruit. More tropical fruit in mouth hoppy bitter finish. So the aroma isnt great but it gets better. Just a bit too sweet and the aroma has a little oxidised hop.

Left Hand Introvert Session IPA 4.8% On tap at the brewery. A clear copper with a thick off-white head of foam. Great hop fruit bouquet with some dank notes. The first impression is a deep piney bitterness fighting it out with sweet pithy citrus. Too bitter for my tastes but hop heads will love it. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
