Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: hazy burnt yellow to orange color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruit, pine and grassy hops; light peppery/hop spice, sweet malts - somewhat caramel/toffee
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bitter to bittersweet vibe; finishes grapefruity with peppery hop spice and pretty dry
Texture: light to medium bodied - leaning more towards the light side - slightly; some sessionable; some smoothness but brisk hop spice seems clamp down on the tongue
Overall: kinda works as a session IPA but maybe just a wee bit dry-er than I thought.

Pours a hazy amber from a can. Tropical and citrus fruit aroma. Flavor is a somewhat vegetal soap. Good beer.

16oz can, undated, shared by TJ on 5/28/17.
Lightly hazy, straw-gold with an immediately-fizzling, white head.
Smells sweaty...with pineapple and heavy grassiness and light "sweetness" suggested by the honey-rich malts. Spice and pepper continue the dry, peppery, very dry herbal quality. Doesn’t really come together as there’s just a bit too much off-character from old and/or overboiled hops.
Citrus, sweat and plastic, with dirty, stale, old hop notes lingering lightly through the middle. Soft, watery, almost chalky texture that exhibits loose carbonation and a thin, watery, undermalted feel to it. Have no qualms that it’s meant to be a low abv, sessionable IPA, but it’s just a poorly-brewed mess with lots of off notes from the hops which seem quite old.

16 oz. can. thanks to TJ on this one. yet another can with no date coding any place. Aroma is sweaty arm pits, weak pineapples chunks, grass. Flavor is pretty mellow. Reflections of the aroma. Pineapple is very mild, some grass, texture is a tad thin. I don’t mind it at all.
