Appearance: The hazy amber liquid arrives capped by a rather small head that doesn't leave much lacing behind
Smell: Somewhat hoppy aromatics, with a touch of citrus and a hint of caramel malt
Taste: Light malt flavors on the front end with some citrusy elements building in the middle; a little flimsy, flavor-wise, in the finish
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with low to moderate carbonation; a bit aqueous
Overall: Like the sessionable character of this beer, even though the batch I tasted clocked in at 4.8%, if I recall correctly; the flavors could be a bit bolder but this is still decent

Served on-tap at City Beverage (Food Truck Festival) in Winston-Salem, NC
A: Pours a hazy light golden apricot in color with moderate amounts of visible carbonation and some orange + golden yellow highlights. The beer has a half finger tall sudsy off-white head that reduces to a medium sized patch of thin film surrounded by a very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Light to moderate aromas of citrus/grapefruit pith and pine hops with just the slightest hint of caramel malts underneath.
T: Upfront there is a light amount of caramel malt flavors with just a hint of sweetness. That is followed by moderate flavors of citrus/grapefruit pith and pine hops. There is a light amount of slight sourness towards the finish as a result of the wet hopping (vs. typical dry hopping for this style of beer - session IPA). Minimal amounts of bitterness which fades very quickly.
M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly thin/watery but refreshing.
O: I thought this was my least favorite of the Small Batch beers that I tried today and I generally am a big fan of session IPAs - I think if it had been dry hopped, the hop flavors would have been a little more pronounced and there would not have been that slight sourness in the finish. Definitely easy to drink and it would be a good beer for tailgating in the warmer weather.
