Notes:
End of the day. Work’s done. Fun’s in session. Make it last with this aromatic ale brewed to keep the good times going. A session IPA full of Azacca and Sorachi Ace hops, with all the flavor you’ve come to expect from Foothills. Thirsty? Get a job.

Son brought a variety pack on his home visit. This was an above average brew. Struck me as having a bit of lemon twist. Would buy if six packs were available here!

First impression was not good...to be fair, the beer was slightly warm (bought their HopBox, and they endured a 20 mile drive home) when I cracked one open and was not impressed. However, sampling another after a proper chilling, I can agree with the “very good” overall rating, in fact, it’s better than their Hoppyum!

12 ounce bottle in a nonic pint glass. About a month since bottled.
Slightly cloudy pale yellow color liquid with a tall and thick cloud of snow white colored cap. Strong retention and heavy web lacing. Steady big bubble carbonation.
Floral hop and grassy aromas. There’s a creaminess to the light malt background.
Herb, floral, and a touch of citrus hop flavors. Grainy malt.
Light body, easy to drink. The big bubbles make for good carbonation. Dry hop finish.
75 ibu in a session IPA is up there. The low abv offsets bitterness.

Pours almost clear golden color.light hop aroma that follows to the taste. It's an IPA but on the smooth side. Full coating mouthfeel and a smooth slightly bitter aftertaste. An excellent IPA, just short of outstanding.

I believe I got a bottle of this from my good friend and old neighbor from Oswego. It poured a hazy orangish with white head and no lace. The scent had faint dank fruit hop. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with dank fruit finish. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it's an ok beer.

Pours an an opaque golden/amber with moderate head.
Smell is a nice mix of lightly sweet malt and hoppy citrus.
Taste is unexpected roasted malt followed quickly by citrus and a fair amount of pine.

12ozbottle undated from AC. Light amber color and malt and citrus on the nose. Flavors include malt, pineapple, melon and caramel. Unknown agent dries the finish. Not a beer we would buy.

Cloudy orange/gold color. Medium white collar with some carbonation. Hoppy aroma & taste. IPA's are NOT my favorite type of beer and this beer confirms it!
