I am trying a can of this beer at my bestie's house in Charlotte, NC. It poured a hazy yellow with thin white ring head. The scent had tart citrus notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with tangerine peel presence . The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

IPA is used loosely. It tastes like Busch or any typical pilsner with a very slight IPA influence. Which, if you're in a boat, or mowing the lawn, or in desperate need of beer, can be very refreshing. But not great if you're looking for a solid IPA.

pours a decent gold, more color than expected- white head fizzes away fairly quick, lacing hangs on the sides...

smells fresh and crisp, similar to white sparkling wine, but light malt undertones are there also

tastes clean and refreshing and less sweet than the nose leads, very nice and actually very good - for a light ipa - yes!

very drinkable ,enjoyable, and highly recommended for summertime lunch brew.

I think of it like a great golf cart crusher(or lawn mower beer with class) - Get some!
