Draught at Red Hat, 2/9/16.
Clear, soft, apricot-orange colored body shows moderate carbonation and a medium-sized white head with moderate to moderately-low retention.
Fairly bright hop profile in the nose shows juicy citrus full of tangerine and light nectarine as well. Moderate pine works its way in but is not resinous/harsh. Actually smells pretty fresh/clean and without any obnoxious maltiness weighing it down (though just a trace of some crystal-like breadiness). No alcohol or flaws.
Flavor shows the same, strong, juicy citric hops and dabs of pine. Bitterness is moderate and the beer isn’t overly sweet. Medium carbonation levels, a bit loose/watery at times. Some breadiness persists on the end. Candied orange, pineapple and nectarine linger.

Pours a light amber from a bottle. Aroma of citrus and pine. Flavor is more strongly lemony, rather thin mouthfeel as so many session IPAs are. Good beer.

Bottle from Buy Rite, 12/3/15. It pours a clear orange color with a beige head and fairly coating lace. Fruity and pine hops on the aroma. Mild sweetness and a pretty decent bitterness. Decent mouthfeel, though a hint thin and a bit too carbonated. Solid.

The taste is pretty grainy, oily, nectarine, waxy citrus rind, bread, minerals and grass with an oily finish. Light - medium body and low carbonation. Quite thick & oily, but a bit tame flavour-wise
