Hazy with good head and lacing. Smells only vaguely hoppy and tastes kinda murky and earthy. Nice citric bite on the end. A mediocre IPA, but decent session.

Poured a light, yellow body with two-finger head and lace ring down the glass. Aroma is slightly floral but more citric, soapy and bitter. Clean and light bodied beer that is slightly acidic and juicy with a citric bite and finishes bitter/dry with bits of floral notes. Not a bad, easy drinking hopped up IPA that is sessionable.

A solid Session IPA. I picked this up at Grape and Gourmet in Virginia Beach, the first Queens beer I have seen in Virginia. Big hoppy flavor but a bit thin on the mouthfeel. At this low abv, it packs a considerable taste punch and is well worth consideration as a session beer. Pours a hazy apple cider gold color with a small white frothy head and several incomplete frothy rings on the glass. Head retention is good. Some piney and floral hops aroma. Flavor is good for a session IPA. Mosaic hops give you piney, floral and citrus elements. This is a good hoppy flavor. Mouthfeel is crisp and a little thin. Overall a very worthwhile session IPA.

On the bottom of the can: "Canned on 04/13/2016 12789 10:43"

Appearance: The body is pretty hazy and I can see a lot of suspended sediment in the glass. The body is a medium gold color and the head is pure white. The head has a fluffy cloudy appearance and it is about as thick as my thumb. Good retention and lacing.

Aroma: It has a pretty strong catty aroma and a bit of garlic and onions.

Taste: It tastes a lot like it smells with a savory flavor of garlic and some grain husk character. A bit of a minty finish. It does have this vegetal flavor that build sup the more I drink it.

Mouthfeel: It has quite a lot of bitterness. The body is medium and it finishes with a bit of texture. Despite it being a session IPA it is not a fast-drinking beer.

Overall: It's an interesting beer. I think that overall you get more of a hop "bang for your buck" in this session IPA than you do in a lot of others because it does taste heavily hopped. I think the combination of hops and grains give it an odd character that doesn't quite coalesce into a solid beer but for what it is worth it is still a pretty good beer. I probably wouldn't buy it again but it's one of those "on the fence" beers that I wouldn't recommend for or against.

Canned on 4/13/16.

Picked this up at the bottle shop on my block because it was 16 oz. reasonably priced, in cans and fairly fresh. I couldn't care less whether it is brewed in Maspeth, or Pottstown, or Round O SC.

Looks: Clear golden with persistent quarter inch head, lacing covering the sides of the pint glass.
Aroma: Pineapple, pear, orangish
Taste: Taste more resins than citrus. Nicely balanced with the malts. Plenty of flavor considering the ABV. Hits the target as a session beer.
Mouthfeel: Substantial for a 4.5 ABV, 16 oz goes down quick.

Overall, a pleasant surprise, just what I was looking for to take to the lake this weekend.

L - copper color, not much haze, absolutely enormous head settles to something reasonable

S - too much (crystal?) malt for my preferences, enticing tropical and citrus aromas, hint of new car smell

T - again a little malty for me, nice balance of sweet and bitter, some nice citrus flavors

F - pretty strong carbonation, and creamy for a session ale

O - reminds me of Alpine Hoppy Birthday
