Can from Whole Foods in Little Rock, Arkansas. Pale yellow body, mild haze, small white collar that leaves a sheet of lacing on the glass. Light bodied, medium bitterness, citrus and pine, Bready malts. Decent.

Appearance: Slightly hazy straw colored.
Smell: Moderately strong hops - citric and floral.
Taste: Medium hop bitterness up front, pretty dry, not much malt, aftertaste fades quickly.
Mouthfeel: Thin with plenty of carbonation.
Overall: It’s about what I expect from a session IPA. Good on a hot day.

Gold in color with great clarity. There 'a a half inch of off white head. A nice floral hop aroma greets my nose. The taste is floral hops and a hint of light malt. The mouth is very light and smooth.

16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden yellow color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of pine, sweet citrus and toasted caramel. Citrusy sweet with a piney bitterness and sweet caramel & toffee.

It's light, it does not satisfy a 'beer geek' I could see this as a great starter for someone who is transitioning into craft beer.
