Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: still looking pale orange color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrus peel bitterness; light lemony tones, some sweet grassy hop spice then some light clean malts
Flavor: does a decent job of blending the prior noted aromas to a semi-bitter to bittersweet quality with a light hop zest coming in underneath; finishes leaning into the hop bitterness and the hop zest seems to be a little bit fainter here
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but that hop zest seems to dry out the tongue a bit and add a touch of chalkiness
Overall: so it was an alright session IPA, I think some re-working needs to be done with how they used the hop zesty tone to assist in leveling out the dry chalkiness.

Can. Aroma is lemon peel and grass. Flavor is crisp with citrus. Mild notes of grass. Light bitterness and ends clean. Great texture for a 3.5 % ABV.

Taster pour from can at Craft Brew Race, Worcester. Appearance is pale yellow hazy, cloudy, no discernible sparkle, thin off-white head. Aroma is kiwi, melon, hint of tropical fruit. Taste is strong for a session but is a dominant musty, almost funky bitter that drowns out the little bit of fruit that's there. Mildly tart. Palate is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with fairly thick, smooth texture, average carbonation and crisp, bitter finish. Overall, credit for strength of aroma, taste and even palate, for a session, but I like the aroma better than the flavor. That's not entirely to my liking.
