Ridiculously hazy golden and raw honey coloured body with a thin, single centimetre tall ghostly white head that fades fast to barely cover the top. Aroma of grass, citrusey hops, alcohol, candy and a lot of alpha acids and bitterness from resinous, sticky hops - very nice! Medium-bodied; Candy-like sweetness at first of fruity candy that fades and gives a tiny maltiness, but some floral and grassy notes then come in and provided dryness, but it all ends with the dryness and bitterness from the hops, showing much more than any malts. Aftertaste is clean, very dry, very fruity, super hoppy and bitter (very old school, nice!) with a lot less maltiness than you'd expect for all the high alpha acid hops, but it's very nice and quite drinkable. Overall, a well-structured IPA that reminds me of the style ~10 years ago, where there was a race of hop much hops/bitterness to add while not adding to the alcohol, maltiness, body quotient and this personifies that, in a good way! Very nice to try, especially as summer is hitting! Good fresh from New York via Manhattan! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Manhattan West/Hudson Yards), New York on 02-May-2021 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 14-May-2021.

Very hazy golden coloured body with a luxurious, three centimetre tall rich just off-white microfoamed head that stays atop nicely, for a long time. Aroma of grass, pepper, yeast, bread, flowers, a dash of tea and some nutty malts - odd on the last one! Light-bodied; Dry profile with the malt and slightly biscuity notes front and centre with a light touch of apricots and fruit noticeable, without too much hop flavours detected, aside from a slight grassy and peppery finish. Aftertaste shows the balance fairly nicely with a soft malt and hop profile that makes this seem as slightly watery or watered down in terms of pungency, but the yeast and breadiness sort of pokes through near the end. Overall, a decent enough IPA that's on the lighter side in terms of alcohol of course, but also in malt, hops and relative complexity. Not too comparable to most other beers and was nice to try, but not really recommended with all the other better IPAs out there! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Wegman's in Lake Manassas (Gainesville), Virginia on 07-March-2021 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 20-March-2021.

Fairly hazy light golden coloured body with a very thick, yet super fast-fading soapy head, around seven centimetres tall at first that fades to around one to two centimetres in a matter of a few seconds, but leaves an ugly lace on the sides. Aroma of light oranges, lemons, very dry and grassy notes, some soft wheat and light candy elements with some sweetness in the nose, but it's mainly fruits here. Light to barely Medium-bodied; Rich oranges and slightly creamy flavours show at first with some mellow lactose noticeable and a dash of the floral and very grassy notes that add a very nice bit of complexity to the hoppiness. Aftertaste is fairly clean, with a good balance of malt and hops, some pleasant sugars and a soft lactose and wheatie bite that give this enough depth and complexity, but still has it show as a pretty easy-drinking beer. Overall, a nice option for those who like them lower alcohol, while enjoying lactose - a well constructed beer and recommended! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from MOM's Organic Market in Alexandria, Virginia on 28-February-2021 for US$3,49, canned on 09-October-2020, sampled at my house here in Washington on 19-March-2021.

Panda 🐼 at home thanks to Wingman. A light hazed golden orange coloured pour with a lasting loose white head. Aroma is semi sweet, wheat, mellow dank, green, little veg, leafy hop. Flavour is composed of bitter grassy hop, dirty pine, leafy hop, lemon rind, firm bitterness. Palate is grainy, grassy,spritzy carbonation. Fine.

Ridiculously hazy light golden coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall just off-white head with a nice oily sheen on top. Aroma of citrus fruit, grapefruit, white wine grapes, flowers, chamomile tea, grass and light malts. Light to Medium-bodied; Deep citrusey and bitter flavours dominate up front with a lot of grapefruit peel, curacao and floral notes with a big dose of grass, hay and tea-like flavours at the end that all seem to contribute to the bitterness here, without much sweetness at all, but bunches of fruit notes. Aftertaste is dry, grassy, herbal and very bitter from the hops with a nice complexity and pretty straight-forward soft malt notes that lets this focus exclusively on the hops. Overall, a great fresh-hop focused beer with a lot of grass, hay and especially citrus that strikes a nice balance for the style with some smooth complexity, especially on the dry, floral, citrusey and bitterness throughout. Good to sample, especially fresh - a nice real New England IPA to sample if you can find it!

Super hazy golden coloured body with a thick, deep and dense three centimetre tall tan head with tons of large bubbles that make an ugly lace on the sides. Aroma of citrus fruits, oranges, curacao, hay, grass and some nice candy elements with a tiny dose of malt noticeable. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy, herbal and very citrusey hop notes with much more grapefruit than oranges, but a nice soft sweetness from candy and from a hit of caster sugar. Aftertaste shows a very nice dryness with a herbal and floral nature that does provide a nice bitterness and fairly well-balanced maltiness, with about as much complexity and depth that I'd expect from a six per center. Overall, a nice, dry, grassy and very hop-complex beer with just about enough malts, sugars and robust flavours to make this enjoyable as more than a light-ish IPA. The citra notes are capitalised nicely, but don't provide the depth or range that I've seen from other breweries, even at six or seven per cent. Nice to try, but not worth trying to find in a jungle of IPAs.

Panda at home, thanks to Dave, 14/11/21. Hazed orange with a good sized white covering. Nose is orange pith, melon, grass, sharp tropical fruits, hop dusting. Taste comprises orange pith, light pine nip, grapefruit, grass, melon, tangerine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with balanced hop bitterness. Decent easy enough easy drinking IPA.

Canned 10/15, drunk 11/11/21. Medium-to-heavily hazy, brass-golden with a small, dense, white head. Oh yeah... dank, floral, cannabis-heavy nose with powdered sugar, leafy, woody greenery, soft pine and tons of tangerine and meyer lemon. Great mix of West Coast notes with New England. No booze, no twang, no flaw. Holy shit, i shoulda realized by the slight edge of bitterness associated with milk sugar fermentation, but damn, didn't realize this has lactose until I just read the can. Reeeeaaaalllly really nice for lactose, though it helps that it's fresh. I usually hate milkshake ipas, but this has such soft, fuzzy, dank/cannabis-like hops with no big pine, twang or heavy mango-papaya. A real pleasure to drink.

BTW, this is on tap again. And guess what? Fishkill? What a name for an american woke city, LOL. Get with it PA, so stupid, fishkill. What on earth is this place named after? Well, here is the story: Fish is from a historical Dutch property owner named Vitch and kill is Dutch for creek, so there you have it - Fishkill means the creek on vitch's property! Anyway - back tpo beer. Pale hazy pour at mad mex robinson; has a orange tint. Very mild peach on the uptake. Seems quite balanced. Not artificial, thank you. Good level of enjoyment. One of the better peach beers I've had.
