Have you been jonesing for something more primal and less evolved? If so, fire is the element for you. Air, water, and earth are of no use. There is a freedom in burning down the house of fixed expectations and it confers an undeniable lightness to being.

Copenhagen 22/10 2016. 35,5 cl (12 oz) bottle from Meny, Østerfælled Torv, Kbh. Ø. A dog looking kinda sad on the label together with the happy go lucky message: "Life is uncertain, don’t sip".
Pours slightly hazy pale yellow with a white head. Settles as a patchy thin layer of foam stretching to cover the surface of the beer. No lacing to speak of.
Aroma is intense with sweet exotic fruit like peach, passion fruit and mango. Light overtones of sour grapefruit.
Medium strong carbonation and watery texture. Lively and tingling texture.
Flavor has a light sweetness and a more distinct bitter sourness.
A bit thin and watery but for a beer that they advertise that you can drink in the work time and stay in the game that might be a necessity.

I think this is a fantastic light option. Perfect for the pool or being outside where you might drink a few beer instead of just a couple. It doesn't feel like you're making a compromise at all for a low calorie beer. I think this is one of the few session IPA'S that is worth purchasing. I really enjoyed this, brew. It's Not a beer you're going to write a crazy review about it being the best beer ever, but for what it is it's pretty fantastic. I could easily drink this everyday to cut back on calories. It's a very very good lighter option. You don't feel like you're making a concession for choosing the healthier option. Good job lagunitas!

Straw color, nice white head. Rich and full IPA's aroma: citrus, spices, caramel. Great refreshing taste, even though less intense than the regular IPA taste.

Slightly biscuity and mellow upfront, bitter with very mild hints of grapefruit and lemon peel. On the finish some pretty tasty notes of granola and light honey. Very tasty for such a tiny beer. Feel is thirst slaking and crushable. Light body, medium carb. Bitter/dry. Not much to say about this one, overall just a really nice little session IPA, a bit less hoppy than Founder's All Day IPA if you're familiar with that - but it's very similar in taste. If you're looking for something with IPA flavor with light beer drinkability, this is for you.
Side note- this would pair very well with any sort of comfort food; burgers, nachos, any type of sandwhich, chicken fingers or whatever.
