Super hazy peach and copper coloured body with a bronze glow and a super thick, frothy, seven centimetre tall tan head - very nice looking throughout. Aroma of fresh grassy and herbal hops with some resinous and lightly piney hop elements as well, some moderate sweetness and a nice biscuity malt. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and very perfumey hop bite at first that shows some fresh pepper and a dose of more bitter endives and rocket/arugula herbal qualities, also showing some mellow sweetness and a hint of honey in the middle. Aftertaste is dry, but on the very fresh side of the hops with the grass, pine and pepper all showing through and leaving a very and quite pungent kick near the end, but without any perceived alcohol, nor malt nor cloying qualities - very nice and light all around, but absolutely full of flavour. Overall, a very nice APA that is perhaps one of the best I've had in a long while. Sort of like a Light IPA, but this one shows more malt, a lot stronger bite and a more robust profile in all corners. Definitely worth trying if you like hops, well-executed beer styles or a beer that is slightly on the light-side, but heavy on flavours. I sampled this pint-sized, sixteen ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Fairfax, Virginia on 10-September-2017 for US$3,49 sampled at home in Washington on 24-September-2017, just two weeks later.
