Can from Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Fruity hop aroma with citrus, grassy notes, mandarin, and light malt. Lightly sweet flavour with a medium bitterness. Body is light to medium. Easy and fruity, citrus-forward hops, elegant IPA.

Seems like a new company by me, but what do I know? Smell is somewhat veggie and so is the initial taste. I'm telling you, some of these session IPA are ruder than the real IPA. WTF? Why would you want to brutalize your palate with rude astringent skunk cabbage flavors, not sher. Yes, off weird session veggie IPA feel, all across the board. If you are going to beat up my palate, better give me some alky content. This stuff reminds me of very poor non-alky NA IPA flavored brews I've had in the past. I must say however that it has a very good sizzling cut to the co2 level. On the palate its crisp and in the glass its big overflowing head turns craggy and rocky for a pleasant eye on top of a pale brew with a slight haze..

12 ounce can. Medium gold pour. Small frothy beige head. Fresh citrus hop aroma hints at lemon peel. Light bready malt flavor. Notes of grapefruit, lemon and kiwi. Some piney notes in finish. Decent Session IPA.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours light gold with a white head. Aroma is light stone fruits. Med body? Not quite. Flavor is very light pale malt with some Mandarin citrus. Nicely bitter; quite clean. Very light, but the citrus is at a decent level, and the bitterness is adequate. Really a good candidate for lake, beach or pool.

On tap at the Barrel House. It pours a clear light yellow gold color with a white head. The aroma has lots of fruity passionfruit and mango notes. Light grass and hints of malty sweetness. The flavor is nice. More passionfruit and grapefruit with some strong grassy bitterness. Light bodied with very light hints of crystal malt. Pretty much a hop bomb. Nice stuff.
