Voraciously hoppy and not overly bitter. The Kind brings enormous aroma and maximum flavor. It's like taking a walk through a pine forest and ending up at a citrus farm. This beer brings joy to the world, one sip at a time.

12 oz can with a 2020 canning date stamped on the bottom, served in a lager glass.
Appearance. Pours with a slightly hazy amber colored body and a good, durable white head that leaves some lacing sticking to the glass.
Aroma. Citrus notes from the hops.
Flavor. Hoppy with citrus notes but hints of pine, herbs, and yeasty too.
Feel. Medium body with medium carbonation.

On tap at Silver Bird Wood Fired in Penn Yan on 25th anniversary trip. Cold and chilly in the deck after a nasty high 80's yesterday.
The start of this beer is decent but ends in a fabric softener finish......

A semi-translucent golden shade with a thin head poured out of a bottle into a glass. Smell is strong and pleasant, dank and earth with mild citus notes. Light to medium bodied, crisp, piney with mild grapefruit notes. A solid IPA.

To me it tastes like every other IPA.
Pours gold, white head.
Tastes like pine, lemon and grapefruit.
That's it.
Not my favorite style of beer obviously. I am so over IPA's!

Emptying a pint can into a clear glass liter mug led to these discoveries. The beer is a lovely opaque dirty blond with some topping head and glass lacing. The smell is mild, mostly of a juicy hop character that brings some yeast, malt and softening agents. This carries over to the taste, which is mild, with a little hop, yeast, malt and softening agents contributing in a nice balance. It is easy on the throat, which shouldn't be difficult when there is no outstanding reason way it shouldn't be. Pleasant, but the praise stops there.

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is very minty, pine is present. Taste is the same as the aroma, some resin,significant bitterness. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is an enjoyable beer.

12oz bottle from Wegmans. Pale golden, light hazy, one finger foamy head. Light fruity aroma, hint of hops. Taste features soft hoppiness and malts, sublime, subdued and smooth. Fells like a session, easy to drink.

Pours light and clear. Tastes skunky and watered down. Not a great IPA.
