Stay in the zone with a low ABV beer that still packs robust flavor and mouthfeel. Brewed with nearly four pounds of hops per barrel and mashed with oats, Par 4 has a smooth and balanced body to even out the payload delivered by a bouquet of select West Coast hops.

Poured from a tallboy can into a Dogfish Head Tulip
L: Hazy light golden pour. Foamy white head with nice lacing.
S: Citrus and pine... smells like an IPA.
T/F: Relatively light on the malts... some graininess with a good bitter hop presence. Nice citrus notes... grapefruit and rind. Resinous but light. Good carbonation. Finish is citrus.
O: A nice session IPA. Light... drinkable... good bitterness and not boring. All you can really ask from the style.

Pours golden. Foamy, fluffy, tall, white head that lasts a while with good lacing.
Smells citrus, pine, malt, orange and grape fruit.
Tastes bready malt, grapefruit, citrus peel and good bitterness. Finish is dry with a bitter citrus linger. Lighter medium body and fizzy medium carbonation.

Appearance - Pours clear golden color with nice thick fluffy white head leaving spotty but nice lacing.
Aroma - mild citrus aroma, sweet caramel and malts with a hint of pine.
Taste - Hints of orange and pine, grapefruit, biscuit, caramel, pretty bitter.
Feel - medium feel, well carbonated, pretty dry and the bitterness lingers a bit too long.
Overall - A pretty solid beer hits the mark on aroma and flavor I wish the bitterness did not linger so long and the hops were a touch more pronounced.

This was a good session beer - retained a hoppy nose and taste, but with lower ABV as expected in a session ale. If it came in short cans, this would be a regular go-to (otherwise, I end up drinking two tallboys and dropping more cash again next time!).
