For a session IPA, this is fantastic! Burial knocks it out of the park with their brews and IPAs. And for the price of $3 a can, distro/shelf beer, it doesn’t get much better. It’s a NEIPA juice bomb. Very soft; water profile and flaked adjuncts help boost this beer’s feel without affecting the ABV. Hunnits

Nelson Sauvin poured from a can. Date was a year old so who knows how that impacted taste and hops.
A- Hazy golden color with a 1 finger head that dissipated fairly quickly.
S- Wonderful to the nose. Citrus Orange with a floral background. Very appealing
T- Great start but it kind of left me hanging half way through. From the nose I was expecting a big hit of Citrus but didn't get it. It's a sessional beer so I get it, but it's more of an APA than an IPA. IBU's seem more in the APA range than an IPA.
M- Very light. Perfect for a sessionable/lawnmower beer. Again, I'm thinking APA not IPA
O- Very good beer, I've been wanting to try Nelson Sauvin hops and I'm hooked on them after this beer.

Latest rendition of their low ABV IPA--this one featuring Mosaic
Turbid and very light yellow with one finger head
Smell--citrus--lemon, bright, little cat pee for me
Taste--light, airy and bright--citrus all the way
Feel--thin as expected at 4%
Latest version will be my go to beach beer this summer. Super easy drinker and true to form at 4% for session strength.

M - Thin, but still very bright and refreshing.
O - Great session, still holds some juicy hop flavors while being blight in body and crips.
