Trader Session IPA pours a murky copper with a more giant, long-lasting lacing head. The aroma is more potent and dank, with notes of vegetables. The flavor is bold and dank, has lots of vegetable flavors, and is solidly bitter. Good feel. Overall, it is a friendly, no-frills, bitter IPA.

Day 8 of the City Beer Tours 12 Days of Christmas box. Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours orange yellow with a fluffy white head. Smells of bright citrus. Tastes of bright citrus with some nice tropical fruit. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a good beer.

From a can. Pours a hazy golden yell with a short cap of white foam. The nose is a smooth citrus west coast hop smell. The flavor is bitter citrus with a light background of clean dry malt. Medium bodied and smooth.

It’s not bad. I prefer NE style IPAs, so this is obviously not my thing but I like it. It’s very piney, but not overbearing and doesn’t leave much aftertaste. Overall not a bad drink. Wouldn’t recommend to someone who doesn’t like IPAs, but I like it. Wouldn’t buy it again, but I’m pretty picky with what I buy on repeat.

From a beer of the month club (5% variety). Pour has a nice 1"+ white foam head with a pale amber body and a very minor amount of effervescence. Scent is very tropical hop forward -- pineapple, mango/papaya, and pinch of zest -- with little bitterness noted. Taste follows nicely with the hoppy flavors flowing through, a bit of malty backbone helping to keep things in line, and just a touch of tropical bitterness to keep it from veering too sweet. Feel is on the heavier side of light with very mild floral bitterness politely reminding you it is an IPA. Would recommend in these summer months.

5/2021 BOM “Trader IPA” not “Trader Session IPA”. Alcohol increased from 4% to 5%.

a: murky burnt orange color with a very faint purple note. 1/2 finger off-white head
s: oranges, tangerine, and sweet lemon. grapefruit and a nice floral hop note. a hint of grass and tangy pineapple. dry crackers and a touch of malt sweetness
t: tangerine, light orange juice, and a bunch of pineapple. mild grapefruit bitterness and a touch of kiwi and guava. crackery backbone that is a touch dry
m: light mouthfeel with high carbonation
o: reviewing this as a session IPA, because that's what the Unita website says it is. it's got decent flavor, and isn't watery. however, at 5% it's a touch stronger that what I'd consider a Session IPA to be. An alright beer, but it kind of falls in between some lines for me
