Crisp. Best way to describe this 'lite' IPA.
Easy drinking at 5.9%ABV, with heavy carbonation so it pairs well with greasy food. A bit unbalanced though - bitterness first then bubbly then hops. I like getting it all in one and having a tough time discerning what's what.
Overall a tasty brew, good for sculling on a patio afternoon.

Picked up a single at the Quick Stop on 10-1-16 for $1.50. Canned on 5-3-16 but suspect it has been refrigerated the whole time.
Beer poured golden orange with a nice white head on the initial pour.
Nose was subdued citrus.
Taste was a subdued but nice blend containing citrus with a touch of peach over a lighter primarily pale malt body.
Mouthfeel was light to medium and pretty refreshing.
Overall this was a nice nearly sessionable IPA that i would not hesitate to have again.

Golden with lots of white head. Smells of lemons and orange. The taste basically follows the smell. More lemon than orange, perhaps a bit of mandarin in there as well and a hint of cracker in the malts. The taste is fairly typical for an IPA but a little on the weak side. Overall, decent but nothing special.
