Grabbed a 6-pack of this with a ton of others on a recent trip to Windmill Farms. This was more for my wife, but I had to sneak in one to review first. I’m a fan of Thorn, but this would be my first time having one of these low-calories beers. Thorn’s website called it, “2.9g Carbs, 104 Calories per 12 ounce serving & Gluten Reduced. The beer industry’s newest and most tasty light brew. Low in carbs, but not in flavor! Hops: Amarillo & Citra”
Poured a medium yellow clear color with two fingers of off-white frothy head. Good deal of bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass. Decent watery lacing. Decent spotty retention. (Sight - 3.75)
Smelled sharp Citra, grapefruit, Amarillo, tangerine, orange and citrus peel. A little better out of the can with Amarillo leading the way, followed by Citra. (Smell - 3.75)
Tasted close to as good as the nose. In order got tangerine, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel, light peppery spice and lime zest. Both mentioned hops were there with neither Citra or Amarillo dominating each other. (Taste - 3.75)
Light body. Thin texture. Average carbonation. Bitter, abrupt finish. (Feel - 3.75)
Very good for a session IPA. I could easily drink a lot of these. (Overall - 3.75)
