I am trying this beer off the tapper at the brewery as part of a four sample flight. It poured a hazy yellow grapefruit juice color with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had wonderful tangerine, apricot, peach and other tropical fruit hop notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with semi sweet tangerine and peach fruit presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

A: cloudy; medium gold in color; 1+ finger finely pored ivory head that receded to a thin cap; little lacing;

S: pineapple and orange;

T: subdued flavor; follows the nose from start to finish; mild to moderate bitterness at the end;

M: medium bodied; moderate carbonation; moderately dry finish;

O: OK, but out of balance;

This one pours a hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like stone fruit, tangerine, and melon.

This is a really solid session IPA. It's packed with juicy hop character, much more than the ABV would suggest, with a dry bitterness on the back end that helps balance things.

This is creamy and fuller than the 4.6% ABV would suggest, with a nice drinkability.

I like this one a lot - it does much more than most session IPAs do for me.

Medium hoppy, slightly bitter, mild citrus aftertaste. Not much nose

Pours a very hazy pale orange in color with nearly two fingers of dense, long lasting white head. Aroma has peach, tangerine, and some mango; a nice melange of tropical, citrus, and stone fruits. The taste is generically tropical with some citrusy notes; finish is pretty dry and well balanced. The fruit notes have a bit of an overripe’ quality to them. Medium-light body with moderate carbonation. Overall a very tasty low ABV pale ale. This is only (just under) two weeks old but I will day I found this much tastier a few days after canning but it’s still very tasty.
