355ml can into shaker. Aroma of cashews, wood shavings and resin. Golden bronze beer, good sudsy head, light carbonation. Sharp and crisp in the mouth. Medium bodied. Taste and finish have more pine plus some lemon and sweet grapefruit. Solid malt undertones linger. What a great beer! Easy drinking, complex and only 3.8%!

355 ml can from Beergium.
Deep amber, clear body, with a big, fluffy, moderately lacing, off-white head.
Aroma of passion fruit, citrus, peach, resin, some pine, some biscuit.
Taste is pretty similar.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes bitter, medium dry, zesty, citric, piney, a bit fruity, slightly malty.
Very nice. Crisp, easy and very well balanced, with enough bitterness, especially towards the finish, to balance the fruitiness and the moderate, sweet malt body. Not an oustanding style example maybe, there are quite a lot of SIPAs like this, but really tasty considering the low ABV.

What a nice tasty beer at only 3,8%!
Hazy golden color with a fine thick white head. Ok lacing. Good intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a fine carbonation level. Tad sweet and a fine biterness. Grapefruit hoppy, fruity and pine in the flavor.
[Can from Systembolaget web order in Sweden]

Can from Brewcraft at home. Light orange copper pour with bright dense white head. Aroma is orange citrus, lemon zest, some herb and pine. Nice. Taste is less interesting, but has a light zesty crispness that’s not bad at all for a session IPA. Palate isn’t too light and empty but feels especially bubbly. Solid session IPA.

Learning I’m not a fan of session IPAs as a whole. Fruity citric hop front followed by...nothing. Piney bitter undertones throughout, but the whole thing is one-note.

Shared a can, poured to shaker. Nice appearance: clean amber-gold with medium foamy head. Citrusy nose. Mild hoppiness with a bit of a thin finish, but nothing like I expected with a sub 4 ABV. A good session beer for a hot day.

355ml can. Pours a lovely orange and smells of mango, tangerine and biscuits. Taste is stronger, with the same fruits and some caramel too. Could be a little cleaner, though ultimately superb for the strength.
