12oz bottle from Superstar Beverage pirs a clear orange with lots of frothy, white head. Nose is OK, some straw, some dried lemon peel, a little stale grist, some paper. Flavor kind of follows, grass and straw, lemon, light biscuit. Finishes dry. Just OK.

Pours deep slightly hazed gold into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving gloppy spiders. Dark caramel and tropical fruit aromas. Dry with caramel and resin upfront turning to pineapple and mango int the lasting finish.

Some bodega in Brooklyn: pours orange with a white head. Aroma is citrus and hints of pine. Standard session IPA in a lot of ways. Not watery like some. Drinking it was indeed rather effortless.

Draft Tip Tap Room, Boston. Clear gold, full lasting head retention. Aroma is mild citrus, grass and floral hints. No surprise here. Floral and grassy hops take over the profile. The body is light and refreshing with some lingering grass. I get a dry pith in the texture. Decent.

Very slightly hazy copper and amber coloured body with a bronze highlight and a nice, dense, three centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of pungent and very floral hops with a nice resinous and grassy kick - deep and asssertive - nice! Light-bodied; Strong grassy and floral hop character in the taste with a very nice and light-body, but showing some light malt and a light pine character and very minimal alcohol flavour. Aftertaste is very nice - showing a ton of hop qualities, but no malt and no deep flavours of alcohol or pungency - just a light dose of hops throughout. Overall, a great Light IPA, definitely good for hot days where you don’t want to sacrifice quality. Definitely worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 12-July-2015 for US$1,69 sampled at home in Washington a few minutes after finishing the USMC Marathon on 25-October-2015.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 5/15/15
Aroma: It has a nice, clean hoppy aroma, tropical fruit hops, some grass notes, and light pine
Appearance: Pours an unclear orange color, with an off-white head and medium-heavy lace
Flavor: The flavor is pretty good as well, lightly sweet, tropical fruit, some grass, and a mid-plus bitter close
Palate: The body is medium, with a smooth feel, soft-to-average carbonation, and a rather dry finish
Overall Impression: Probably one of the least thin examples of the style I can remember trying. This does not have that thinness people complain about when they complain about this style. The flavor and aroma are pretty good, but not quite as wonderful as the top notch examples. Still, very nice.

Tap at stags head. One of the better session ipas I’ve had. Great nose of tropical fruit and bitter hops. Tastes of pineapple, grapefruit skin, pine, grassy, light herbs. Bitter and juicy finish. Damn good
