Canned 7/24/19...not very fresh but it was on clearance for $2

Pours a clear pale yellow with a finger of bubbly white head that reduces to a cap, streaming carbonation from the bottom of the glass

Tropical melon and citrus hops come first in the nose, a very mild lacto funk, and a crisp yet light malt backbone

Very bright lemon and lime in the taste with just a mild touch of bittering juicy hops. Lighter notes of red berry and cracker are present

This drinks damn smooth, light bodied with a ton of carbonation and finishes just short of completely dry, each sip leaves me wanting more

Overall this was way better than I expected for a $2 clearance can, very drinkable. Though it wasn't fresh, it was interesting to see how the hops have faded and given way to the more tart flavors present. I'll get more if it's there next time I'm back

A: Pale lemon-brass coloring has a pristine clarity on the first pour. A monstrous bright white head is tall and true, as well longstanding. Heavy moments of carbonation rush through the body, macro-bubbles, fill the vessel. A big splash of sloppy lacing adore the glass walls.

S: Peaches and light sour tropical fruit are first scents. Wet apricot and apple juice are prime. A bit of slightly dry and tart fruity hops, citrus-lime, has a good strength overall.

T: A smooth, tart and funky lime and citrus hopping. Tart pineapple, fruity peaches and green apples along with some grapes. Yeasty grains and dank citrus rounds out.

M: Medium body, oily feel and thick hop resins lie on the tongue. Good carbonation, very smooth feel and slide down the throat.

O: Overall juicy and sticky resins give this a great feel. Tart sourness and hopping blend well together, tropical-lime highlights along with fruitiness gives just the right amount of complimentary sourness to go with the hops.

 

A: The beer is relatively clear yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that quickly died down, leaving a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface.
S: Light aromas of limes are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of limes and honeydew melon.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a little tart on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I would definitely consider this beer to be sessionable given its low alcohol content. The tartness, which is unique for the style, also lends some refreshing qualities.

Serving type: can

 

5 oz pour on tap. There's not a whole lot to see here. It's a slightly sour session IPA with new-school hops. It's not bad but it's also not something I'd ever order again. Honestly it's pretty bland. Meh.

 

 

Poured from a 16 oz can into a Dogfish Head tulip

L: Nearly clear light light golden pour... fizzy white head. Modest lacing.

S: Tart and citrusy with a dash of funk.

T.F: Light and tart up front. Citrus and nectarine. Grapefruit rind with some fruit sweetness after the initial tart. Very light... bordering on watery. Fizzy carbonation. More fruit/citrus at the finish.

O: For a soured session IPA this works very well. Good flavor, and the light body is understandable given the sub 5% ABV. Great for a lunch break or for after some yard-work. Not a go-to, but a nice option to have if you want something light.
