Can. Almost clear golden yellow. Frothy head.
Mixed citrus aroma. Some soapiness.
Immediate bitter bite upon tasting. Otherwise pithy and resinous.
Bright feel. Light to medium body.
Easy enough to drink.

330ml Can from Morrisons supermarket (£1.95):
Light, translucent amber with a decent sized, foamy white head that holds pretty well initially, leaving lacing on the sides too. It's slightly floral on the nose, grassy hops & pine showing with subtle mango notes & tropical notes seeing things out, although these are relatively light. The taste is more pine, grassy hops & floral hops but it seems a lot lighter & more watered down sadly, some tropical fruits again featured but it was a little underwhelming with a little mango rounding things off. It's light-medium & has about average carbonation with a moderate bitterness throughout but it's just a little to weak.

330ml can.
L: Hazy, golden orange colour with a thin, short-lived head and spotty lacing.
S: Light caramel aroma.
T: Hay & pale malt plus some honey. Mango smoothie in the background.
F: Light body. Almost thin.
O: Gluten-free, low ABV, American-style IPA. Not particularly piney, not particularly juicy. A little old skool, maybe, and I’m ok with that. Body & mouthfeel is the usual disappointment with these session AIPAs.

CAN
Pale gold; grapefruit, peach + papaya; speck of shortbread, then tropical fruit smoothie, apricot, and jagged little blast of lemon; light with salty, bitter linger.

Smells good, brings both NEIPA + old school Cali character, and quaffs easy. Sure, it’s watery + nobody’s going to mistake this for a hop grenade, never mind hop bomb. But at the strength + Gluten Free, accomplished.
