We designed this sweet little hoppy beer flush with Simcoe and Mosaic for a blend of refreshing fruit, citrus and pine to keep hydrated in the field without overworking the palate.

The can pours cloudy yellow-orange with a 2 cm foam cap. The aroma and flavor are very tangy, with lemon, tangerine and grapefruit most prominent. There is some citrusy sweetness.
The hop bitterness is is low.
The brew seems unbalanced. It might be better appreciated in warmer weather.

Poured from a pint can into a Tulip Pint glass. Nice off white head rising up to two fingers depth, with good lacing thru out. Body of the beer is opaque, apricot in color. Good tart fruity aroma. The first sip has the citrusy flavor with a slight hops bite at the end, nice finis. This is an Imperial Pale Ale (low 6% abv for an imperial) but tastes more like an IPA, with muted hops.

Really enjoyed this hazy IPA. Great aroma and hoppy citrus flavor. Had a Wrench afterwards and didn’t enjoy it nearly as much and I’ve always thought that was very good.

I don't usually drink Kent falls these days, but this was recommended by Ken. Canned 4/22/19
Pours a big foamy bubbly head with fair retention and a little lacing, super hazy cloudy deep golden color
Nose brings mostly citrus and some tropical fruits, juicy, tangerine, orange, a little pith, a little dank slight pine earthy, pithy, light creamy doughy malt, generic musty tropical
Taste grainy malt with doughy wheat and a little candy sweet, some extra leftover brewing salts and minerals, super pithy, a bit juicy, plenty of citrus and a bit of generic tropical but dank musty with s little earthy pine but not oniony, mild juicy soft but a little pulpy. Drier finish with a little spicy hop lingering especially with that leftover salt turning almost brine like
Mouth is med bod, decent carb, little soft creamy
Overall has some promises but doesn't pop that much, I think they need to play around with the brewing salts and minerals a bit more, the hops also don't pop as much as they could, not a bad beer though

Nice head in my libbey glass, hazy, pineapple/mango/orange on the nose and palate, moderate bitterness, drink cold. Another great Kent falls ipa, if you see it pick one up.
