Draft 10 oz pour at Hale’s. Clear golden, carb heavy pour with a thick foam head. Soft fruity hop aroma. Flavor is hop constant, without any real bitterness to speak of. I usually run into a lot of it with these sessions, and I’m impressed with this. Very cool and refreshing beer. Solid session.

12oz bottle, less than a month old for sure, beer just came out. Just bought this for the tick. Trying to break into the top 5 for Hale’s, so expectations aren’t high fr this beer. Clear muted golden color. Decent head retention. Its definitely a Session IPA, hop strong on nose, low bitterness, malts underrepresented. But the hops just smell bad to me - grassy urinal cake. Flavor loses a lot of the hop flavor. Slightly sweet, white bread malts. Generally, a waste of calories.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours gold with a white head. Fruity aroma. Med body or nearly. Flavor is a little ready; a lot hoppy; citrus/mosaic? Pretty good for the low ABV. Finishes nicely bitter.
