Hazed lemonade. Citrusy/orange hop aroma and flavor; juicy. Decent balance with little to no bitterness. Light bodied and refreshing. Sessionable.

Pours cloudy straw yellow with a thick white head that leaves very nice lacing. Aroma is faint, mostly citrus and malt. Flavor follows the nose with a little more authority than the mild aroma. Feel is light bodied with ample carbonation. Overall, a nice summery beverage.

Pours a hazy pale yellow with a foamy white head. Nice light aromas of toasted malt and hay. The taste is very light with that toasted malt and some grapefruit and grass bitterness to balance. The body is also quite light and watery. It's not very tasty at first, but it gets better as you drink. Finishes with a light lasting bitterness on the roof of the mouth and some lemon and hay in the aftertaste. This is very refreshing and would be great on a hot summer day.

Mildly cloudy, soft pastel yellow body; lively carbonation; thick head, white and lasting, nice density. Pleasant mild peppermint element to the smell; fresh lemon and lemon bread. Nice flavor; delicate malt base with overtones of citrus, primarily lemon; mildly tart with a low-key and subtle bitterness. Medium-light body; a bit fizzy.
Overall, this is a really nice hazy India pale ale. I do love that it isn't overly harsh nor brash. The light touch of citrus and tropical fruit tones makes this an easy drinking and thirst quenching kind of beer.
ABV: 4.5%; pouring temperature: 48.0 °F; canning info: 020926

12 oz can canned 2/9/26 into a Becher glass.
L: Pours a medium hazed radiant bright yellow color with a 1/4" white head that remains flat, light steady carbo, head recedes to froth, strong lacing attributes at first then it becomes random and scattered.
S: A vinous hop note, a complex fruit aroma, slightly dank, melon, light caramelization as the beer warms, fruity overall.
T: Pastry dough, light citrus & distant lemon, a touch of wheat, yeast, a trace of melon, light citrus and pastry dough are in the lingering and balanced finish.
F: Lightly brisk, juicy, light-bodied mouthfeel and a medium-fast slightly dry finish.
O: Wow. The malts shine through with this beer. Pastry dough and light fruits are mingling nicely. This is a fine session ale that has a semi-full flavor and a medium-long linger taste that doesn't stray from the core flavor. It is very tasty, a lovely addition to the Little Thing series, and is excellent in its style.
