Thick and chewy looking straw yellow coloured, not even golden, with an orange-juicy glow that has a fairly large three centimetre tall off-white soapy head on top that leaves an ugly lace on the sides. Aroma of citrus fruits, lemons, grass, hay, soft alpha acid bitterness from the hops with a bit of dryness, too, but still a lot of citrusey notes. Light to barely Medium-bodied; Crisp, very grassy and citrusey flavours shine through everything else, with a light wheatie note, some hay and perfume, but this all finishes with a pretty astringent, aspartamey, fake sugar flavour. Aftertaste is dry, lemons, perfume and wheat come through, as does some hop bitterness and floral aspects, with a pretty good balance, and almost no alcohol at all is noticeable here. Overall, a nice, dry and citrusey IPA that goes down pretty easily (it shows it's six per cent ABV and only that) with a good citrus bite. Good to sample, especially extra fresh and recommended to all who like the style, but some of the aspartame notes are a bit funky. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from The Beer Cave @ Bob's Sunoco in Callaway, Maryland on 10-May-2022 for US$4,50 sampled at my house here in Washington on 14-May-2022.
