A metric pint bottle poured into a frosty beer glass. Nice head and some lacing.
A golden pour with good clarity, and nice malty flavor. Bitterness is more like a classic ESB, nothing like a piney American IPA, and that’s a good thing.
Very enjoyable, I think I’ll have another.

It is 91 degrees today and 90% humidity... Classic Baltimore summer weather. Trooper IPA came to my rescue. It pours clear with a light, copper color and smells like grape nuts cereal. The taste begins with caramel and ends with pine and
fresh-cut grass. The mouthfeel is light, thin, and refreshing. This is a very quaffable session IPA with a mildly British slant.
I will buy it again for these dog days of summer.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
Look: clear golden with a thick white head

Aroma: Caramel, mild spices

Flavor: The flavor is caramel and then there is a mild grassy and piney bitterness at the end.

Body/Overall: Light to medium body. I think it is a pretty good session IPA but maybe a bit too mild for me.

Clear amber liquid with a very short head that quickly dispersed to a small cloud with a pencil thin rind around the glass.
Smells and taste like your typical lager. On the watery side but easy to drink. I think it is a good thirst quencher.

Trooper pours a light golden straw color with minimal head. Smells of light grain and a little fruit. Taste is of light grain and malt with a hint of fruit. Mouthfeel is light and easy drinking. A faint hint of bitterness lingers. It's really nice actually, it's light and so easy to drink, 4.3% ABV, nice session IPA. Be nice to have after some heavy hitters. Undated bottle. Will definitely buy TROOPER again. Imported by ARTISANAL IMPORTS, Lockhart, TEXAS???

Bought at Liquor Shed in Casper. Lot 1082.

It pours a clear and bright gold with aboot an inch of foam after pouring.

The smell is caramel malt with grassy hops, maybe some pine.

The taste has some grassy hops, nice malty sweetness, toasted malt, quite flavourful for the low abv. I could drink this back to back easily.

Good mouthfeel, maybe thin in the finish, but overall, very enjoyable.

500 ml bottle poured into a nonic style pint glass.

Pouring deep gold and brilliant. The inch of white foam fades to a ring in about a minute. The nose is light and hoppy, piney and a bit floral. Tasting hop forward, in the English style, also getting pale malt. Light bodied with medium carbonation, just enough for a dry and lightly crisp finish. Smooth, and enjoyable easy drinker.

500ml bottle. Poured out a clear, golden color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled very grassy, floral with toffee, caramel and bread crust. Very grassy hop bitterness with toasted bread and sweet toffee.
