Bottle.
Lovely light straw with a thick foamy head that dissipates very slowly. Pine, grass and slight dankness on the nose. Lighter pine on the tongue with grapefruit and grass dominating. Crisp with strong carbonation. A real thirst quencher that I would be very happy to have again.

Outstanding session IPA. Bottled in late July so I was expecting a muted nose but that was not the case - aroma of pine, mango, orange and wood. Nice, nearly juicy, taste of tropical fruits followed by biscuity malt with a (very) heavy bitter finish that belies the ABV. How they managed to do all this under 5% ABV is impressive and speaks volumes about their IPAs. Will gladly seek it out and enjoy it again.

FOLEY BROTHERS SESSION IPA 10/8/15
Poured from the 22 oz. bomber into a Sierra Nevada IPA glass
a: Clear gold with a two inch thick white head which receded to pillowy surface foam and patchy lacing.
s: Citrus leaning to grapefruit
t: Grapefruit rind with fairly sttrong bitterness which lingers over a light biscuit malt base. Grassy notes develop later and eventually take over the taste.
m: Light, ok body, plenty of carbonation tingle.
o: More like a hoppy Pilsener than IPA. Impressively hoppy and visually exceptional for a session brew, but at first the dominant bitterness is a little too harsh. Once the vegetal notes kick in it becomes more enjoyable.

Pours a golden color. The nose is big on pine, and some sweet malts. Taste follows the nose, more pine that citrus. A nice bit of carbonation and a light feel/taste. Overall a nice session.
