Notes via stream of consciousness: It's poured a hazy yellow-gold body beneath a thumb's width of white foam. The aroma is citrusy, floral, and very lighty piney over a sweetish malt base. The flavor, not surprisingly, follows suit. It's a little lighter than I thought it would be but a quick look at the label reveals that it's only 5.5% ABV, just .5 more than Budweiser. The citrus is mainly orange and grapefruit, and there's some passionfruit as well. A moderate bitterness balances it and it finishes mostly dry with some pine and earthiness lingering. In the mouth it's medium-light in body and gently crisp. All in all this is a hecent beer but it'sreally nothing special.

light hazt ipa not ereal hoppy smooth beer for the summer

Hazy, lemon colored appearance with a large white head and decent lacing. Lemon hits the olfactory organ first while gradually letting in a wider variety of citrus while some pineapple lingers in the background. If you guessed even more lemon in the taste, you win a prize! (just email me for details). Actually, the taste is more rounded; not sour, but just a hint of tartness. More emphasis on citrus as the aftertaste looms. Medium-to-light bodied, moderately carbonated mouthfeel. Easily quaffable.

It's just OK - wouldn't get it again.

L: Hazy, pale yellow, can't see through it. Looks great for the style, exactly what I'd expect.

S: Bright smell: Lemon/citrus, cracker/bread. Interesting and expected for the style

T: Very lemony. Sweet/cereal in the background. Also herbal, thyme? Tart not bitter. Good for the style, not my favorite style. Too much lemon, not enough other fruit (berry especially) for me.

F: Fizzy and a bit thin.

I think this is a solid lemon-forward hazy IPA, but not one I would choose to drink again.

12 fl oz pull-tab can nabbed at Junior's Market, Austin, TX.

"Hazy IPA." 5.5% ABV.

Low C+ / ABOVE AVERAGE

 

Drinkable light IPA. A little thin in body and a touch bitter but ok for what it is.

Drinking this at The Parsons Pub in beautiful downtown Murphy NC in The Great Smoky Mountains.
Poured from a tap into a pint glass.
Looks yellow orange with a nice foamy head that dropped quickly to a thin cap and some nice lacing.
Smells lightly bready, citrusy, orange.
Taste follows the nose nicely and the orange is forward on the palate
Mouth feel is a little thin for the style.
Overall a nice hazy IPA that I would definitely order again.
Cheers!

 

 

Poured into a narrow pint glass: color is straw gold, hazy, head is off white with fine bubbles, presents 1/4 inch thick then dissipates to solid top, some lacing on the glass.

Smell is mixed citrus juice and pith, some orange juice notes, limited malt aroma.

Taste is similar with mixed citrus, leaning orange, some pith, some more herbal hops, limited malt.

Mouthfeel is lower carbonation, moderate sweetness, low bitterness.

Overall a much lighter, less sweet HIPA.

 

Picked-up a single can at Total Wine in Braintree for about three dollars. My third brew reviewed from these guys, have had man more. Best by date of 10/8/21. This was a nice LAB.
