Hobo Life Session IPA is heavily dry-hopped with Citra and rests on 20% flaked oats. Refreshing and bright with notes of lime and grapefruit zest to entertain the palate, Hobo Life is a go-to for any session.

Sampled @ GBBF Day 2. A bit hazy chemically looking bright yellow color, virtually no head. Smell and taste are both very hoppy, very fruity, tropical fruits. A bit sweet perhaps but I very much like it even though it’s only got a slight bitterness. Nice!

Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours hazy bright yellow with a small white head. The aroma is rich, sweet, juicy, danky, grass, peach, nectarine, hay and lemongrass. The taste is smooth, crisp, bitter, juicy, dank, grassy, sticky, apricot, peach, yellow plum, drying, straw with a drying finish. Medium body and soft, but decent carbonation. Fresh, dank and delcious. Excellent stuff.

Tap at the Jeffrey. Orange gold beer small head nose is unremarkable citrus pine and plastic. Tastes better of piney hops, pineapple, mango, biscuits, touch medicinal. Smooth palate but could use a kick of something.

Taster pour at Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Across America. Aroma is corn chip, strong pine, light resin. Appearance is pale yellow (urine-like) with small white fizzy head. Taste is similar to aroma. Palate is light bodied with thin texture, average carbonation and balanced sweet/bitter, dry finish. Overall, nice, light refreshing session beer with good aroma and taste.

Can from Colonial Spirits in Acton. Mostly clear light golden color with a huge persisting bubbly white head. Earthy spicy and pine with a solid shot of tropical fruits, some mineral water, and a touch of crackery maltiness. the flavor is more earthy pine than fruit but they both share the stage. Faint malty character and dryness could be amped up a bit just to counter the shear lupulin presence. Probably my favorite LH beer so far.

12 oz. can without any date coding. Hazy yellow with very thin lasting legs of lacing. Aroma is a great level of lemons, grapefruit and citrus rind. Really promising on the nose.
The aroma was leading me to believe that I would receive a blast of citrus goodness. Well, it falls flat. The grapefruit is here without a doubt but it becomes overly astringent. And as far as the session IPA style goes, most 4.5% brews come off as watery. This body falls into the same watery classification as does 90 % of all other in the "session" category. For me this is mediocre at best.

Poured from can hazy golden color with a thin fading white head. Aromas of biscuit light honey and fresh Citra hops. Taste is mildly sweet with notes of caramel and biscuit as well as a lingering bitterness.
