Ever so slightly hazy golden and orange coloured body with a faint, thin off-white head, just a single centimetre tall that fades quickly. Aroma of very subdued hop notes with a light dose of citrus, a hint of malt and some mellow caster sugar, but not much else. Light-bodied; Crisp and dry malt profile shows at first and leaves a nice balance for the relatively rich hops with a complete citrus and grassiness noticeable and a dry finish that shows some alpha acids and bitterness with a hint of citrus as well. Aftertaste shows a nice balance of the light malt and hops both, but with a crisp and dry quality while still having some body and some bitterness here with the floral, grassy and citrusey part of the hops coming out most. Overall, a pretty nice and well-balanced, refreshing and super-easy-drinking beer that hits some nice marks for bitterness and a smooth malt touch, but the alpha acids are the best part about this one, with them coming out and showing nicely here! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased in the mixed 12 pack by my teammate and sampled after a hockey game in Arlington (Ballston), Virginia on 20-October-2021 - Thanks Jacob!

Can from a party: pours orangish. Aroma is malt and light citrus. Taste is lightly citric, malty backbone. Whatever.

Pours amber with heavy carbonation, bug fluffy white head. Aroma of lemongrass. Taste has mildly smokey resin, lemongrass, some citrus. Palate has benign hoppy malt, some lingering currant. Good.

Bottle for $2. So I did the session and I did the live and now we have live session? WTF? Anyway, this was born on 11/4/2019 - a year old! First impression is a little bit of low alky cabbage IPA but not as bad as many session IPA. It actually comes across as a little perfumy on the taste buds. Interesting, since I find so many ill effects with ale in general. Keep in mind however, this is not a 'live' brew; it has nothing to do with wild fermentation, the wild simply means somebody is dfrinking a session IPA while doing a recording session, what-ever.

Can with much thanks to Jason and Lisa. Pours a nice gold with just a very slight haze. Thin head and kind of weak aromas... a bit of honey, a little grass, and maybe a touch of lemon/citrus. Flavor is similar. It is light and bright... fairly lovely for a frail thing. I'll have another!
