A hoppy "Anytime Ale" hopped with Magnum, Centennial, and Citra. Pilsner and wheat malts provide a clean, refreshing base. Easy drinking, crisp and citrus flavors of grapefruit. Slight tropical fruit notes with a clean finish. A beer that can quite literally be enjoyed anytime.

A: The beer is hazy light yellow in color. It poured with a half finger high bright white head that consistently left a thin head covering the surface and a thick coating of bubbles down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of orange and lime citrus and floral hops are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell, except that the flavors of floral hops are a touch stronger and there is also a light to moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a bit crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is very easy to drink and is perfectly sessionable.
Serving type: can

Served to tap at the Greenport Harbor Brewing Company in Greenport, NY.
A: Pours a nearly clear, straw to golden color, a one finger, foamy, white cap, decent retention, and sticky rings of lacing.
S: Largely a floral and fruity nose, subtle lime aroma.
T: Semidry to dry. Flavors largely (near) lime citrus and subtle caramel. Light bitterness in very nice balance.
M: Light to medium bodied and moderate carbonation.
O: I gather that Light Work is hopped with a number of the C-hops, including Citra. Really delicious and very sessionable.

A semi-murky light blonde color on the pour. Light hops and citrus aroma on the nose. A rather light start upfront, on the drinking. Lots of subtle citrus hop notes that hit crisp and drink with a refreshing feel. Notes of lemon, orange, and lime. The mouthfeel falls on the lighter side of the spectrum. That crisp, refreshing, and easy drinking feel with very light abv seems to be the goal here.
Overall, Not bad but nothing all that great either. A pretty run of the mill session ipa.

The description on the can is perfect - this is clean, crispy, and citrusy, but I’d classify this hazy yellow beer with a white head as a session IPA vs an APA, because there’s no discernible malt presence, which I look for in an APA.
The citrusy hop notes, though, are excellent, with oranges and pineapple flavors present. The mouthfeel is more in line with a session IPA, just a smidge thin, but this would be an excellent summer lawnmower beer.
