Very hazy golden coloured body with a luxurious, three centimetre tall rich just off-white microfoamed head that stays atop nicely, for a long time. Aroma of grass, pepper, yeast, bread, flowers, a dash of tea and some nutty malts - odd on the last one! Light-bodied; Dry profile with the malt and slightly biscuity notes front and centre with a light touch of apricots and fruit noticeable, without too much hop flavours detected, aside from a slight grassy and peppery finish. Aftertaste shows the balance fairly nicely with a soft malt and hop profile that makes this seem as slightly watery or watered down in terms of pungency, but the yeast and breadiness sort of pokes through near the end. Overall, a decent enough IPA that's on the lighter side in terms of alcohol of course, but also in malt, hops and relative complexity. Not too comparable to most other beers and was nice to try, but not really recommended with all the other better IPAs out there! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Wegman's in Lake Manassas (Gainesville), Virginia on 07-March-2021 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 20-March-2021.
