Pour is a almost clear golden with a large white head. Aroma is a nice fruit/piney hop mix. No single fruit stands out but it is overall pretty citrusy. Flavor is again a fruity hop with honey malt and a very minor bitterness. A pretty straight forward and tasty IPA with some new school hops.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours light gold with a white head. Aroma is tropical, grape, citrus, floral. Med body. Flavor more or less matches aroma. Plus a caramel backbone that’s not assertive. Flavors aren’t uber strong, but they are firm and tasty. Towards dry and quite hoppy and non-harshly bitter. Could be an every day go-to ale.

Pour is a almost clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is mostly grainy and slightly fruity. Flavor is more grain with a slight fruity yeast and spice toward the end. A bit bland but the 7% is hidden well and is not felt.
