A session IPA in a can. Made with four exotic hops - Azacca, Calypso, Mosaic and Equinox. Taste is of tropical fruits, specifically passion fruit, grapefruit and apricots. Finishes with just enough toasted malt character to balance.

Location: Can at Beer Culture, 8/11/14
Aroma: The aroma is tropical and citrus hops, with some grass, pine, and earthy notes as well
Appearance: It pours a great looking golden-copper color with a nice, foamy off-white head
Flavor: The flavor is along the same line, nice hoppy flavor, it is mildly sweet with a solid bitterness
Palate: The body is fairly light and easy drinking ("crushable" in the description seems accurate)
Overall Impression: This is a nice session beer. There's a lot of mosaic flavor coming through, which works nicely. Very sessionable mouthfeel. I think they got this one pretty right.

Slightly hazy, crisp copper coloured body with a three centimetre tall tan head - this looks great and is probably the best looking light IPA i’ve had. Aroma of grass, perfume, flowers and a touch of very light malt. Light-bodied; Sharp perfume and grapefruit flavour of hops with a big dose of passionfruit, pineapple and mangoes - very strong of tropical fruit. Aftertaste shows a great hop profile with a very light malt vibe and some other subdued bitterness. Overall, a very nice light IPA that is perfect for the midst of summer or just in general as a lighter beer to drink a few of - very nice and perhaps the best i’ve had of this [rather infantile] style. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Good Beer in New York, New York on 19-July-2014 for US$2,29 sampled at home in Washington about a month later on 23-August-2014.

12 oz. can. Color is bright hazy yellow with lasting head in the shaker glass. Aroma is mostly floral hops with light traces of grapefruit.
Light pale malt provide a medium base and lighter body. The hop varieties give grapefruit peel, hints of pine with a blast of floral and editable flowers in the finish. Drying texture on the tongue. Overall this hits the mark for the style and with it sold in cans you can take it to the beach or family get together and not get piss drunk. Crushable indeed.

Mugs Ale House, Brooklyn tap: Pours golden with white head. Aroma is citrus, resin, and light malt backbone. Taste is bitter and surprisingly full. I did not realize that this was such a light beer. It should get big ups for pulling one over on me, if for nothing else. Overall good beer from this relatively new brewer.

Draft at Redbones - Somerville. Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. Great stuff, loads of pithy citrus, grapefruit, tangerine, slight grass and pine. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean, dry to finish, lasting pith, grapefruit, understated pale malt sweetness. Excellent.
