Long days and warm nights awaken the city. The list of neighborhood festivals is endless. As is the great music that brings us together in parks and parking lots. We brewed our Session IPA to be easy drinking and endlessly refreshing, so you can enjoy every encore. Bright note of fresh oranges and other citrus fruit with a mild body that is crisp on the palate.

Poured from a 12 ounce can into a shaker pint.
Look - A light golden amber with a soft white head. Looks like an IPA.
Smell - Almost nothing. Just the ghost of hops.
Taste - Again, almost nothing. Reminds me of 312 a bit.
Feel - Light body, light carbonation. Not much to say about it.
Overall - A very meh IPA. I guess it would make an acceptable session beer, but there's just not enough to it.

This is a light, summery IPA, and that's exactly what I was after when I picked it up; trouble is, it's an entirely unremarkable beer, almost bland enough to be blegh.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a 12 fl oz can on June 15, 2018. Brewed to be easy drinking and endlessly refreshing. Bright note of fresh oranges and other citrus fruit with a mild body that is crisp on the palate.

Pale, grayish yellow body with some coarse carbonation and a soapy white head. The nose is really nice mixture of tropical fruits- soft, succulent papaya, banana, and honeydew cut with orange rind and grapefruit,. White bread, too. There's also a mild metallic note that spoils this idyllic scene. The flavor drops out, all the fruity attributes are muted and a kind of plain-Jane malt and dry hoppy bitterness take over, not to mention that chalky metallic taste is still lingering. The body is just fine, sorta coarse.
The nose had the happy sunshine I was looking for, but the taste faltered and brought it down to "just another beer" level.

A - A nice looking pour, with a light golden body and a short white head. The lacing is fine but present, creating a thin-lined curtain on the side of the glass.
S - Hops, mostly, of grass and a touch of lemon, and a hint of malty sweetness.
T - The malt is more forward, underneath a punchy but largely nondescript bitter hop flavor. The close continues bitterness, as the malt drops away.
M - Brisk carbonation, very light body, dry close.
O - The problem here is a lack of much to grab onto to distinguish it. The hop notes are muddled and while pungent, do not offer discreet flavor notes that I prize when having an IPA.

From notes taken 08/08/17:
Dull semi-clear, metallic-sheened, copper-amber or orange. Thick fluffy head of creamy lemon-white, good retention. Frosty but patchy lacing. Nose is toast, caramel, resin, leaf matter, other vegetation, faintest dark fruit like an ESB. Tastes like a lightly sweetened, lightly lemoned iced tea. Toasty, earthy, just bitter enough to meet style guidelines, like an English Pale more than an America IPA. Refreshing yet with a mild astringency that allows one never to fully quench. Medium-bodied, but almost light given the nearly effervescent, abundant fine and tingly carbonation.
