Sampled from a 22oz bottle. Poured a light copper color. Very earthy notes - not very enjoyable at all. Flavor was actually a lot better, earthy hop notes. It’s very sessionable, but I don’t know if I’d have labeled this an IPA based on the final presentation.

Bottle: Poured a light hazy yellow color ale with large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus and light resinous hops are quite powerful. Taste is also dominated by quite powerful citrus hops with some resinous and bitter notes. Malt backbone is quite light and actually shows off the 4% ABV. I quite like the idea of having light session tasteful brew but will have to adjust my palate to the lighter body.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with a white heads that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a good amount of grassy hops with a hint of citrus and pine as well as a relatively strong grain backbone. Flavor starts with grain and bread but grows in hopiness, first grass then pine with a hint of citrus.
