Ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a thickish, three to four centimetre tall, just off-white head that stays afloat for a while and leaves a small lace on the sides after all is said and gone. Aroma of fake sugar, light malts, wheat and grass with a dash of hop pellets and some grapefruit notes, but fairly straight-forward. Light-bodied; Fairly strong grassy, biscuity malts show at first with a subtle, but noticeable hop element and a dash of bitterness, but some smooth sweet notes from fake sugar and a kick of grapefruit and lemons show at the very end. Aftertaste shows some nice balance with a bunch of hops (mainly from pellets it seems like) with a good balance of biscuity malts, all set forward with a nice tiny bit of sweetness and a dry herbal bite at the very end. Overall, a nice enough Light IPA with some nice flavours, a good level of sweetness, but a proper balance of malt and hops makes this nice and enjoyable throughout. I sampled this 440 mL can, purchased from Costco in Manassas, Virginia in May 2021 by my Mom, sampled in my hotel room here in Columbia, Maryland on 20-July-2021.
