Clear golden coloured body with a nice, relatively thin, two centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of bright grassy and citric hops with some light sugars from caster sugar and some light fruit. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and citrus notes up front with a light bit of the dry bitterness showing through. Aftertaste shows some mellow funk, a bit of earth, some caramel and a touch of yeast resident. Over all, a decent beer for sipping and drinking while other beers are around - but very light and fresh tasting overall. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Gainesville, Virginia on 14-May-2016 for US$1,95 sampled at home in Washington on 26-January-2017.

Can stamped BB2/5/17 so assumed ~3 months old; into a stemless wine glass. A: Poured a small quickly falling head on a pale gold body with a few bubbles seen. S: Citrusy scent of lemon and faint cracker malt. T: Sharply bitter pith. Both lemon and grapefruit. Pine and a little dry white bread turn up later. M: Lively carbonation and light thin body. Resinous though still fairly dry finish O: Pretty good overall but not exceptional. Expensive to boot means won’t be a regular purchase. Good effort though for 4.0%.

Can from BrewDog online shop. Drunk at home on my own, way too late. I should be in bed. Straw colour and very clear. Loads of visible carbonation. Massive hop aroma, with lychee and grapefruit. This has a gorgeous hop bill. Tastes mildly bitter heading to a slightly stronger bitter in the finish. Pretty thin body. More lychee in the aftertaste. Very tame but still incredibly enjoyable.

Can from Tilt enjoyed at home; hazy golden yellow pour with a bubbly white head, aroma has subdued hop aroma, taste has tangerine, hint of pine, light grapefruit, I’m not committing to any taste as everything is a bit light.

Pours gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving gloppy lacing. Sweet tropical fruit and resin aromas. Dry with dirty hay and marshmallow upfront turning to dusty resin and pith in the lasting finish.

12oz can pours with a near clear gold body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up tangerine, mango, a bit of pineapple and some grassy hoppiness and then a faint slightly off putting caramel like sensation well off in the background. The taste delivers a pleasing degree of bitter hops that have a citrusy grapefruit and tangerine bite. It then picks up a malty cracker sensation just as the hops attain a thin citrus juiciness. Pretty solid session IPA.
