Panda thanks to Wingman. Clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a light sweetness. Citra and Mosaic? How adventurous! Soft ripe citrus, a little peel. Modern Mosaic candy fruits, a whisper of blueberry. Yeah, it hands together well enough but personally, I wouldn't care if I never tasted another Citra - Mosaic brew again.

Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: glossy yellow color with a sly transparency to it and a two finger white foamy head which slid off at a nice pace
Aroma: citrusy, floral and a light danky hop character, clean malts
Flavor: bittersweet blend through the prior noted aromas; aftertaste shyly has some bittersweet citrus tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, good carb, clean citrusy hoppy finish
Overall: nicely done APA worthy of more pours and might be a good one with it's respected food.

Big pounder can for a buck off the 'build yer own mixed six pack' rack at JR's. Pour is cloudy like a NE IPA. Nice head that takes a while to fade into a craggy pond skum. Friendly fruity perfume aroma, you'll almost wish yer favorite mate was wearing it. Taste is light IPA-ish, not session mind you. It don't have that veggie session IPA feel about it; it's mostly clean and fresh. After going over my federal IRS tax form, almost anything would taste pretty good in the beer arena! Otherwise, thru the middle this stuff does come across as a lighter IPA; it has the bitter hop beef to be one. It also has some decent co2 as well to make it palatable. One thing that stands out, that makes this a little different than an IPA, is that its not really mouth-coating like so many domestic attempts at IPA. And in the end, on the finish I can't find any hand soap attributes in it. There, you have it.

Pint at Shelter pours a clear dark gold with some lacey white head. Nose is old school, crackery malts and sweet dough. Earthy hop, some soap. Flavor has honey and malt and some grapefruit and pine. Well balanced. Super easy to drink.
