Full pour at a remarkable burger place in South Royalton VT.
Basic session IPA. Nice crisp light citrus flavors with light malts behind. Good drying on palate, easy to drink, not much to it, but it does the job nicely.

This beer was surprisingly complex and flavorful for a session IPA. We got strong notes of pineapple and hop, and enjoyed its beautiful, creamy pour. We recommend this beer as a good alternative to a classic IPA.

Poured from a 16 ounce can into a Shaker pint glass, there is no "best by" date that I can find.
Appearance: pours a hazy, light golden color with one-finger white head that slowly dissipated until a thin, broken layer of small bubbles remained, there is moderate lacing on the glass, highly carbonated.
SMELL: understated to the nose, bread with pine and tropical citrus.
TASTE: initially sweet citrus like pineapple then bread and finishes with some pine resin, the taste is understated and does not overpower.
PALATE: medium body and highly carbonated.
OVERALL: this is a good session IPA, at 4.5% ABV you can enjoy more than one at a time, I like lower ABV beers if they taste good and this one does, I will buy this again and recommend to anyone who enjoys session IPA.

At first i thought it smelled a tad lemony...until my wife pointed out that it smelled like vomit. Kinda like a bathroom after a day of flu puking. Now thats all i can smell, dilute barf. Taste follows the nose. Its not like full strength uncarbonated vomit, but more like dilute overcarbonated vomit. Highly carbonated, thin mouthfeel as expected for a session ipa. Would not buy another but highly recommend if you like puke beer. I drank the whole can.

16 oz can into IPA glass. Batch #028, no date.
Look is nice cloudy golden yellow. Nose is light tropical fruit. Taste follows, nice easy tropical fruit. Feel is light and easy. Overall, a nice session with flavor. Would buy again.

A nice session IPA from Evil Twin, who again can't go wrong. It reminds me quite of Nickel Brook's Neighbour although noth that boomingly tropical (wow that was awesome!). This is a bit lighter or thinner if you might want to call it, a little less intensive, a little bit more like a session IPA should be with more aroma but a paperweight body. This one is I guess a single-hop Citra and kind if fizzy with carbonation. It is good and it is very sessionable. Here it goes:
"Despite his bitterness, lack of power and insuperable aversion to any kind of extravagant labor - he kind of has a charming charisma, and perhaps he is even loveable. Somehow we find him unbelievably irresistible and stimulating because he is one of the few that masters the ability to effortlessly impress with hos sharp intelligence and make it look so damn easy."

1 PINT can
Served in an oversized, stemless, wine glass
This beer pours a hazy yellow color. It is topped with two inches of creamy eggshell head that leaves spotty lacing.
The aroma is lemon with light citrus notes.
The flavor is light citrus with a mild pine finish.
It has a light to moderate mouthfeel with biting carbonation.
It's a typical boring session IPA which is just a watered down version of a great style. I would rather have a hoppy lager over a "session" IPA any day.
