16 oz. can from Spruce Creek Provisions. Appearance is a dirty straw color, plenty of carbonation, lacing bubbles. Aroma is light herbal, mild citrus, and grain. Unfortunately this is very similar to many other session IPAs. Texture and body is thin and watery. The flavor has weak citrus with a slightly abrasive herbal bitterness.

Sample at the taproom. Hazy golden color with a medium thick white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of tropical fruit, piney hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, herbal hops, melon and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Solid beer all around.
