On Tap at Belmont. Clear deep orange light amber pour. Thin brief off-white head. Sweet fruity medley aromas, more fruity flavors. Not so much citrus, but melon, pear and apple maybe. Full smooth palate. Delicious. Lightly bittered for a DIPA

Can for 2$ from chalet. Clear pale with a slight off white head. Maybe some citrus on the nose, rather clean neutral olfactory. Taste approaches IPA but I'd say its more in line with an APA. Yea, decent carbonation as well, much appreciated. After tasting the 'light hearted ale' 4 years ago, I'd say this is less 'real' IPA that the light hearted ale! Goes down fairly easy, odd for something called an IPA in my mind. Fer sher, to call this an IPA, session or not, may be a misnomer. Mind you, I'm actually glad its not a real IPA since the taste of IPA in my opinion, is quite not on cap trash, LoL. There, you have it

16oz can, poured a clear golden color with a small white head. Aroma was a lot more tropical fruit than I expected it to be. A ton on really nice citrus. Pine is present, lemon. Hoppy, with some nice malty notes. Alcohol is really well hidden in this one. Surprised with this one since the last few times I'd have the regular Hopslam, I felt it was too hot and dry and lacked a great refreshing character. Solid stuff.

Gift from Kris; thanks man! Aromas are malt, citrus, caramel, sweat. Flavors are similar to nose and just very slightly leaning sweet. Enough carbonation and bitter to balance. Great finish. Easily drink more.

Slight haze, amber. medium head. Aroma gets allium for sure, but orangey as well. Soft malts, alcohol not oppressive. Good balance, this works.

16 oz. can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of bright tropical fruits, piney hops, citrus, and lemon peel. Flavour has some oily resinous hops, some pine, light dankness, and some sweet biscuity malt. Balanced well, with punchy hops and a big malt backbone. Excellent.
