Ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a very thin, pure white head, barely a sliver on top. Aroma of floral, grassy and especially citrusey hops with a good bitter quality and a light dose of malts with very little else, but the hops really stand out. Light-bodied; Sharp pungent grassy and very citrusey flavours dominate with a great bitterness and hop pungency, especially towards the end with a touch of herbal and more floral notes, but a very low malt profile and somehow even lower alcohol presence makes this feel super subtle. Aftertaste shows the hop bitterness and grassy flavours up front and centre with a lot of citrus and subdued notes without much alcohol or pungency - this is a very easy-drinking and super light-bodied beer with a good [still] pungent hop profile that has a lot of bitterness throughout. Overall, a good and enjoyable Light IPA, perhaps one of the best tha tI've had! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 19-April-2019 for US$2,84 sampled at home in Washington on 27-November-2019.

12 ounce can from Total WIne Greenfield 5/24/19. Very hazy pale orange, large frothy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of lime, tropical fruit, pale malt, and a plastic note. Seems like this may be off. Taste is lime, tropical fruit, dandelion, pale malt. Thin, low bitterness. If off, it's not bad.
