Easy drinking, loads of tropical hop flavor and a subtle tart finish.
We brew this session IPA with two of our favorite hops (think mango, guava and passion fruit) and add red wheat malt to give it a crisp, tart finish. This is the beer we choose for Sunday Funday.

Pale, golden color. Medium-sized, fast disappearing, white head. Malt and citrus( grapefruits mostly) in aroma. Light, even a bit watery mouthfeel. Light malty sweetness and moderate, hoppy bitterness in taste.

Pours a hazy pale yellow with a 1/4 inch white head, which dissipates. Moderate lacing.
Aroma of orange, lime, mango.
Taste follows nose: Orange, lime, mango.
Medium bodied, light carbonation. Dry finish.
An ok IPA but not my favorite of the style.

Served in a pint glass from the can here at the Cedar Beach, NY.
Appearance: Hazy amber gold color with extra bubbles and a head rising about a notch over one finger's length off the body.
Smell: Hop aroma which dissipates quickly.
Taste: Mixed feeling but smooth pine feel. Hoppy feel.
Mouth: Medium body with full carbonation.
Overall: Descent beer especially in excruciating hot weather. Needed something light for a heavy day type of beer. Salud!

A thanks to the creator of the canquest, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a hazy, orange color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is strong of tangerines. Taste is of grapefruit, tangerines, light malts, mild bitterness. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is a solid beer.

Happy New CANming Straight Outta The Bronx This Sunday, yo (Week 768)! I have several CANs from Bronx Brewery & I am dedicating today to him as a fellow veteran, beginning with this one. It makes The CANQuest (tm) proud to be able to do this sort of thing!
From the CAN: "Grit*Drive*Union"; "Est. 2011"; "No Nonsense Ales"; "Session India Pale Ale"; "An easy-drinking IPA with a heavy dose of tropical hops. Living and working in NYC can be fast-paced and chaotic. And while we wouldn’t have it any other way, we like to hit the brakes now and then. This Session IPA is our choice for those moments when you want to slow it all down. Brewed with two of our favorite hops, this beer delivers strong tropical fruit aromas and a crisp, tart finish. The easy drinking 4.6% ABV makes this the perfect brew for when it’s time to Slow Your Roll."; "Made By a Team".
It's gonna take a team of brewers to slow my roll, lemme tellya! I beCAN, as I am wont to do, by Crack!ing open the vent as I beCAN a slow, gentle Glug into the awaiting glass. I sat back in rapt fascination as it quickly formed two-plus fingers of dense, foamy, rocky, bone-white head with excellent retention. Color was an oh-so-slightly-hazy Yellow-Gold (SRM = 4 - 5). Nose was no nonsense, no CANsense, either, CANming with a blast of grapefruit citrus. Yum! Mouthfeel was medium. The taste was even better than the nose in that it beCAN with more of the intense grapefruit, but slowly gave 'way to tropical fruitiness that balanced everything out. Double yum. I have been saying for a while that: a) I miss the "traditional" west coast AIPA hops; b) I am not totally averse to the Southern Hemisphere hops, but I am tiring of fruit salad; & c) the inclusion of both types of hops is CANvantageous. This beer stands as a shining, albeit hazy, example of my point. Finish was semi-dry to dry. Very nice. YMMV.

This is one of those beers that is more than the sum of its parts. At first I thought it was kind of boring and bland and uneventful but boy, that went down fast... Medium tropical fruit hops and spicy crystal malts jam well together despite individual mediocrity. Solid effort.
This isn't a great IPA but is a very drinkable one.

On tap.
A - Crystal clear copper color with a thick layer of bright white foam.
Carmel malt, slight earthiness along with some pine and mango. Overall aroma is faint.
T - Caramel want with some tropical fruit - mango and passion fruit with a long lingering piney and citrus bite. Balanced throughout until the very end, the bitterness is prominent. Fruity up front and bitter on the back end. Somewhat resiny overall.
M - Medium body and semi-dry. Coats the mouth with a healthy layer of resiny tropical fruit
O - An easy drinker.

Pale gold, lightly cloudy with a fizzy and foamy inch of head. Aroma is big, big, big. I get right off the bat the smell of fresh spearmint and basil, interesting. Taste is very light with touches of orange, pineapple and light hop bitterness. Mouth feel is crisp with citrus, malt and hops well balanced and leaving just a bit of residual flavor at the end. Complexity is ok, just ok, but is understandable for a session ale.
