BOD 10/23/14. Pours a slightly cloudy almost medium amber (slightly darker than golden). Normal head volume, lacing and somewhat poor retention.
Nice complex nose of citric (grapefruit, tangerine and orange) hops and biscuit with a touch of caramel and a note of pepper spice.
Almost light medium body with a nice smooth texture. Above normal carbonation with a nice effervescent rush from the middle on.
The outstanding flavor profile is intense in hop flavor, with a degree of complexity and very well balanced - especially for a 2.9% ABV beer. It begins with a blended hop flavor that flows into a mild rind/pine bitterness in the middle. As the edge comes off the bitterness, a mild biscuit sweetness comes forward providing balance. The finish as slightly dry and is a slow fade of rind flavored bitterness.

Slightly hazy golden color, with a small white head. Good retention and lacing.
Some pineapple, lemon, and grapefruit on the aroma.
Nice pop of lemon, orange, mango, and pink grapefruit; huge amounts of pineapple. Wheat cracker, hay, and a touch of pine. Clean, crisp, with a touch of bitterness.
Very light, watery feel, well carbonated, thin but quite refreshing.
A pretty solid session IPA! If you can get past the very thin feel, this drinks more like a hoppy seltzer, in a good way.

This brew is a dark gold color with a medium off-white head. The aroma has some grain, along with some herbal hops and caramel. Medium body. Drinkable but a bit ordinary.

Can: Poured a dirty amber color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry grainy notes with some earthy hops notes is OK. Taste is a mix of dry grainy notes with some dry earthy hops with light caramelized malt notes is OK. Body is about average with excellent carbonation. Flavorful low alcohol beer but not sure I would drink this again.

What is the point? Low alcohol or not, this stuff is is awful. Pours to thin, weirdly sudsy head and hazy orange color. Aroma is belgian yeast and citrusy hops. Flavor is a train wreck. Hops with nothing to counterbalance them...no malt, no alcohol. Harsh mouthfeel. Avoid.

Pours a hazy good with one finger head. Citrus and light hops up front. Very refreshing.....kind of like a lighter less bitter session IPA. Give it a try
