Hazy light yellow, 2" soapy head with good retention and strong, spotty lacing. Nose light tropical citrus hop, slight menthol, perfume. Taste citrus rind and pith, watered down pineapple juice, grassy, somewhat bitter finish. Feel is a bit oily though light with sharp carbonation. More of a lightweight hazy than an American IPA to me.

Effortless, easy drinking and flavorful with the additions of lemon peel, The Bronx Brewery's more sessionable, hazy IPA with have us all singing Don't Worry, Be Hoppy.

Beyond its yellow label and smiley face and underneath its pale, hazy and golden pour lies a fresh and floral scent of citrus, tropical fruit and delicate herb. As its light sweetness glosses the tastebuds, a grainy-sweet flavor of cereal, light bread and powdered sugar provide a malty, grainy upstart. As the hops spring to life, a blend of tangerine, grapefruit and lemon bring a fruity zing to balance the fading sweetness. Hints of pineapple, mango and peach add hop complexity while the session quickly finishes with a smooth and sprucy bitterness.

Medium-light, smooth and crisp, the hazy IPA is highly palatable, low in flavor impact but crushable by design.

Slightly hazy, golden color. Big, white head. Citrus, pineapple, and some weird vegetable notes. Crisp, hoppy taste. Not bad, but something is off for me.

12/12/24 dated 12 oz can. Pours out with a bit more than a moderate haze. Moderate cap and leaves a minor film and a moderate amount of fine bubble lacing.

Sniff is softly of oranges, tangerines and fruity goodness.

Pleasing on the palate with some fruity, flavorful n yeasty NEIPA goodness. Bold citric notes up front and in the finish. Tasty offering, worthy everyday kinda creation.

16oz can from Halftime. Pale golden, mild haze, small creamy head. Aroma features light lemony notes, tangy. Taste is grainy with light citrus zesty notes, but not sweet. Finishes fast.

I like this site bc I want to branch out more with the beers I drink. To be completely transparent, I have no idea what I’m talking about. I drank Budweiser my whole life until my mid 40’s. But the last 2 years I have been drinking nothing but beers recommended by this forum. I don’t care about look or mouth feel. I care about taste and drinkability. Can I drink this beer for an entire hockey game. The answer is yes. It’s good. I’ll buy it again. It’s not heavy, it’s light and tasty. Good beer.
