Pours crystal clear yellow gold color with a nice 1 finger foamy off white head that was full of small bubbles, which faded kind of quickly, leaving good foamy lacing. More like a pale ale than an IPA in looks, and surprisingly basic looking for a Founders beer.
The hop aromas jump out and smell very fresh up front, with citrus hops, piney hops, grapefruit, orange peel, tangerine, lemon zest, light caramel, faint toasted grains, biscuit, grassy herbs and mild spices; the smell has some floral hops as well and it’s a really nice, softy hoppy odor.
The flavor is just like the nose, but with a stronger malt presence; the taste is a combo of oily citrus hops, toasted grains, biscuit, piney hops/pine cone, grapefruit, orange peel, tangerine, lemon, light caramel, grass, herbs and mild spices like pepper and tea leaf. After a few sips it seems like the hops wear off and graham cracker or a little brown sugar come out for just enough grainy/sweet balance to make this incredibly easy to drink. Not a strong punchy, traditional IPA, especially compared to some of the other Founders hop-bombs, but this got the job done as a remarkable session beer.
It is very refreshing, light and crisp, with tight, fizzy carbonation, a very light body and a slightly bitter aftertaste that was just as much grain as it was hop. Could be the lightest feeling IPA that I’ve ever had, and I could drink the whole 6 pack in a sitting with no problem.
Overall a great beer that was too easy to drink; named perfectly, this is a definite session beer, however the only drawback is that it is lighter than expected as far as the flavor so that is the trade off. Either way, I’m glad this beer is available in NY now.

Honestly, I didn't wanna fanboy on it,so I kept it at an "even" 4.75 on all counts. For me, this is the best of all worlds in the IPA game. I've tried so many, but ultimately this is my go-to. It's not that I think it's the best IPA out there, but for me and my style of drinking, it's the only one that I can drink the way I like to drink. I know it's corny, but really can drink it all day, which I do. Often. My tastes run more towards a heavy hop-ness and light malt profile, so this just works for me. I'm all about the bitter, and for me and overly malty IPA takes away from the bitters. So, this is my beer of choice!

Limey, piney, slightly herbal, generically "vegetable"-ish, light light light IPA. It's actually not that crisp or refreshing to me, for reasons I can't articulate, but I do like how it tastes and it's available everywhere.

This pours with a white head that is not dense but expansive. The nose in smell is of hops, fruity, and quite apparent in smell. You have to grade according to style and this hits all the boxes for a session IPA. Clearly all hops and fruit the body is light but yet the mouth knows it is beer of good taste. It lacks the malt of a true normal IPA and that is to be expected. In general for a beer of this ABV it could be my favorite. Drinking one under many different occasions will work. Keep a stock on hand.

12oz, canned on August 4th 2023
In a hard pour, 3 fingers of bubbly white head sat on top of a not quite clear golden amber body.
Aroma is a slightly fruity take on a traditional WCIPA. A very full, piney and grapefruity hop aroma dominates.
Flavor follows the aroma with more bitterness and grapefruit pith is definitely the largest flavor. There is a slight malty sweetness that makes itself known in the back to make for a mellow finish.
The feel is lighter than most IPAs, but it is almost light, but with slightly more body. The hops stick around for a medium long finish, but there is a slight dryness and mostly neutral feel.
Overall this is an easy drinking low alcohol IPA, with full, traditional hop flavors, but an easy drinking, almost but not quite light mouthful. This is a great session IPA.
