New Beer Distributors, NYC 650ml: Pours orange with a white head. Aroma is citrus hops, pale malts, and tropical fruit. Taste is slightly sweet. Kind of on the bitter side, but this is not excessively hoppy. This was good, but kind of forgettable.

Pours gold into a shaker. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving scant trailing sheets. Sweet banana and bubblegum aromas. Crisp with bubblegum and caramel upfront turning slightly sour in the lasting earthy bitter vegetal finish.

22 oz. bottle. Color is a clear gold with a small cap of white head. Aroma is real green. Grassy hops and traces of herbs with lager yeast.

Flavor is a reflection of the nose and has a herbal element through the middle. Lager yeast is very dominant though out the flavor with the grassy hops and herbs showing again in the finish. Breweries have been jamming IPL’s and "session" IPA down everybody’s throats and frankly, I’m completely over it. When will the new trend start? Because this is getting old. This brew is nothing to get excited for yet it is well made, you judge it.

Bottle from Bert’s Pours a slightly hazy light golden color with a huge bubbly white head that slowly recedes leaving lots of stickies on the glass. Light crackery malt offset with floral, citrus, and peppery notes, with light yeasty esters as well. The flavor is lightly sweet crackery malt that quickly gives way to some odd yeasty phenols that make me think of Belgian yeast. Earthy and spicy hop flavors come in quickly and a moderate amount of hop bitterness finishes us off and lingers long after each sip. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. This grew on me towards the end of the pint, but I’m not a huge fan of this beer.
