Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass.
Beaming and glowing, tangerine bright orange body color. Looks slightly opaque but not totally, with a good amount of rising carbonation. Creamy forming and bleach white bright looking head. Three fingers with big soapy bubble retention, falling at a good pace with some soapy lacing to match. Very nice looking IPA.
Good hop aroma on this brew. Subtle florals and a light juicy orange citrus note that permeates the nose. A touch of biscuit like malt, almost a bit grainy and minimal sweetness.
Solid good palate. Supportive malt backbone, giving a touch of body and light sweetness. Hop angle continues a little hint of juice and pine aromatics. Finishes quite pine warm and herbal with excellent light green aromatics that don't run too hot or astringent. Mid palate has a nice mix of juice orange sweetness and pine bitterness. Very easy drinking as well, and feels a lot more full at this low abv.
Just a good all around IPA.

16 oz can poured into a pint glass. No canned on date. A hazy cloudy orange/yellow with a half finger of head that dissipates immediately. The aroma is hoppy, resiny, and dank. The taste is similar with some wheaty citrus. Not much else involved. The feel is light, carbonation is medium. An interesting session IPA, not sure if this is a new formulation (cloudy/hazy) over the past ones but it seems to work.

I'm trying this at my Bestie's in Charlotte. It poured a clear golden with white head that is leaving a spotty lace. The scent had hints of citrus peel. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it's a decent beer.

Pours a light gold, medium to low carbonation. True to the name this one has great aroma. Lots of pine and spice with some fruit from the hops. Overall sets out well to accomplish what it's going after even if the hops are more traditional than some of the more trendier varieties.
