Tap at the brewpub. A pretty decent session IPA but nothing revolutionary. Got the fruit and hops but you know its been toned down.

Fresh hop version. Draught. Pours clear orange with white head, IPA like aroma. Light bodied like a veldbier. Smells hoppier than it is.

12 oz can. Nose starts out vaguely perfumy before a clean hop aroma comes through. Pours hazy golden with a medium white head with decent retention and a little lace. Taste is candy sweet with flavors of fruit cocktail; finishes a little dry with nearly no bitterness. Really tasty.

On tap at goodlife brewing bend. Pours out a golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice tropical fruits citrus sweetness and a light malt. Taste is more of the citrus tropical fruit hop melon and grain.

12 oz can picked up at Beer Junction. Good to see some new GoodLife cans making the rounds. Always loved the beer, and having them in crushable vessels makes it even better. I love drinking beer for a good cause too. Forests are rad. Pours a pale golden color that matches the can in the right light. Cool looking can. Pleasant, gentle balanced aroma of citrus hops and malt. Cool juicy hops, light, easy drinking finish. This is what I want in a session IPA. Will likely be the next 6 pack I buy. Awesome stuff.
