Can from Trader Joe's in Davis, CA. Pours translucent gold with a large white head. Aroma of citrus - like mild orange. Approaching med body. Flavor is mild orange for me with something light I can't place. Like thin pine flavor. Pretty dry. Lightly bitter. Yeast note in the finish. Very quaffable. Verging on sessionable.

Pint can from Trader Joe's Charlottesvile, 10/24/20. Hazy yellow, lots of visible carb thin fizzy white head, fair retention. Aroma of grapefruit, stone fruit. Taste is tea leaves, grapefruit. Almost like a hoppy sweet tea. Thin, moderate bitterness. Meh.

Some pine and some citrus peel. Pours orange amber with ok head. Not s lot of depth here but then again it's a Brut IPA. Go figure. Can.

Super crisp, pure golden, orange and peach coloured body with a two to three centimetre tall, soapy, large-bubbled head that fades quickly and leaves a very ugly lace on top. Aroma of grass, hay, perfume, candy, caster sugar and a touch of light apricots and peaches although they are muted. Light-bodied; Dry, grassy and perfumey hop flavours show at first with a very mild, slightly biscuity malt component that even has some wheat, mainly due to how mild and unsupported the malts are, but the dry, very grassy hops do get through at the end, but have no complexity and share no bitterness. Aftertaste shows dry malts, some very soft apricot fruitiness and a slightly crisp, very perfumey hop bite that isn't bitter, just very dry. Overall, I wasn't expecting much from this (given other KBC/Trader Joe options from them), but this was simply poor. Not good, not akin to the style, very watery and weak, but at least it wasn't offensive, pungent or bad - it was just bland, weak and without character. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Washington (West End), D.C. on 23-August-2020 for US$2,00 sampled at my house here in Washington on 04-September-2020.

16 ounce can. Honey gold pour. Frothy beige head. Mild fruit aroma hints at mango and melon. First sip is bitter citrus. Hints of lemon and lime pith. Clean and crisp with very little body or flavor. Dry bitter finish.

Can. Amber beer with an off-white head. Grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and light summer fruit flavor with light mineral notes. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit and mineral linger with light pine.
