Pours golden yellow-orange with billowing white foamy cap from tall (BJ’s beer club) can to pint glass. Light fruity citrus with crisp hop forward bite and straw / wheat and malty finish. This light session IPA seems a bit watered down and despite the foamy crown a bit light on carbonization. “Okay” easy sipping session “lite” brew at 4.9% ABV and hop forward 33 IBU. Pairs well with turkey tacos.

On tap in Melbourne, FL.
Dark amber body has good clarity and is topped by a fairly durable head.
This tastes and feels like a pretty good IPA to which a bit of water has been added. This is mostly due to the body which is a bit watery but the flavor is a tad tame. Medium carbonation in a medium body.

Pours an amber with a two finger fluffy off white head. Aroma is citrus, and pine. Taste follows and is actually very good for a session ipa. Mouthfeel is thin to medium. Overall, a very good session ipa, with good flavor and feel, one of the better ones I've had.

On tap at BJ's in Sacramento, CA.
Pours a clear golden-orange with a foamy khaki head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. A foamy curtain of lace coats the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, citrus fruit, and citrus zest aromas. Taste is much the same with citrus zest and earth flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is light and easy to drink for a session IPA.
Serving type: on tap.
