$1.50 can at Total Wine St Pete. Slight haze with a nice creamy foamy head that goes craggy. Grats to the look of this stuff. Some pine aroma on the nose. First impression on the buds is this does not really have any session IPA character. Its most IPA I would say; yer typical lighter IPA flavors. Bitter, nasty rude, but a little less so; that is, until you get to the finish. Then, the nasty nellie terribly on style bitter IPA feel sets in. Compared to other eye pee aye, this stuff also has a little more appreciated co2 in there. There you have it, a bitter beer that an IPA lover may like but a macro pale lager lover may not.

16oz can picked up at Total Wine.
Pours slightly cloudy with a medium sized white head, good lacing. Grassy, herbal, citrus zest.
Good

On tap at the Craft Brew Hullabaloo in Sebastian. Pours clear dark golden with a medium sized off-white head. Grassy, grapefruit and pine resin. Ok

Amber, just a touch of haze. Medium head. There's a fair bit of bitterness, and biscuity malt. Clean, balanced, pretty good.

Draft sampler at the 2022 Rocky Water Brew Fest. Pours a clear gold color with a white head. This may be a session IPA by ABV standards, but it tastes like a basic hoppy and bitter IPA. Meh.

12 oz. can from The Bat Cave. Pours a clear orange-amber color with a khaki head and good retention. Decent lacing. Light caramel aroma. The taste follows the nose. Light caramel malt notes with a faint hops finish. Clean and crisp mouthfeel. Medium-light body. Low bitterness. Overall, a very subtle, mellow lager. I would classify it as a Vienna lite.

Draft sampler at the 2021 Rocky Water Brew Fest. Pours a clear gold color with a tiny white head. This has the typical harsh and aggressive profile of most amber ales. Not sweet enough and not enough caramel flavor. No thanks.
