A - Straw colored, slightly hazy, no activity, soapy head that is gone quickly and has no lacing.
S - apricots, peaches
T - mild stone fruit, some orange, very sweet
M - tight bubbly carbonation makes up for what could be a very sweet beer
O - it’s ok, but the sweetness makes a sessionable beer not as sessionable as I’d prefer.

Pours a hazy pale golden straw. Light aroma of mango and pineapple. There's some nice sweet red onion and green onion, with a touch of pine. It's super dry and extremely quaffable. For a session/pale ale, this is what I need.

This was poured into a becher pint glass. The appearance was a semi-hazy yellow color with a one and a half finger white foamy head that dissipated at a decent pace leaving a rocky white cap of a head with semi-thick white foamy lacing, nice show! The smell started off with sweet grassy hops sliding into sweet citrus rind and a dry floral quality. The taste was semi-bitter and dry with the sweetness from the grassiness boosting the citrus and floral qualities to become pretty dry on my tastebuds. On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light with the dryness coming back and pouncing on my tongue adequately. Overall, decent for what it was, maybe again.

It's not a splashy beer but it has some solid fundamentals. It's decently hopped but it doesn't half much more taste outside of that. Found this to be just okay.

Pours a slightly hazy very pale stare in color with 2 fingers of soapy white head. Aroma starts very herbal and earthy but then adds some nuance with grainy, lemony, and pine. Taste starts grainy then adds light lemony notes before turning overwhelmingly herbal. The body starts light but then adds a bit of heft and turns more medium with a frothy carbonation throughout. I just can't get past the overwhelming herbal notes in the aroma and flavor; I'm not a big fan and it keeps me from enjoying this beer.

Rather tasteless, plain brew. I understand where they are trying to go with the name and the style of a daily ration like in puritan days. I would choose mostly any other beer from this maker over this one.

Pours yellow orange and ends with a monstrous and lasting off-white froth. Smells of grain, lemon, white grape and faint pine. A combination of light fruits and faint bitterness play off each other all the way through to the fairly dry finish. Light in body, and not as hoppy as the label would lead you to believe, but lively drinking nonetheless.

Passable beer with no obvious flaws, but nothing to make it stand out in a very crowded Session IPA market.
Lacking any tropical/juicy - or even pine - flavors most expect from an IPA nowadays. Just a slight bitter taste, not much else going on.
