a session hazy, this one is pretty tasty, and doesnt seem soulless and bland like a lot of the other session types in this space, just lower alcohol, but still nicely hop driven, juicy, dry hoppy, and bright, a nice session beer for warmer weather, no bite to it, not much body for the style, it works on a number of levels. the hops hit with lemongrass and clementine and mango, a little oily and a little perceived sweetness to me, but clean in the finish, fermented near dry, and without any real linger, bitterness is almost entirely absent. it looks a fair bit heavier and denser than it actually drinks, not so starchy, and i can tell right away that this is lighter than most, despite still having some wheat character in both taste and texture. the hops have a pineapple note as this warms, a little lemon lime thing too, and the finish is clean. maybe not the most interesting ipa in the game, but the hops are fresh, the proportions are good, and the execution is there. i have not loved most of the hazy ones from these guys so far, so this is a step in the right direction. nice to have something more drinkable in this style while the weather is hot, well done.

 

Growler fill poured into a nonic; pours fairly clear and a touch darker than I expected at sub-5%, gold-ish with a fluffy off-white head. Aromas and flavors of honey malt, citrus and citrus rind, hints of resin and earthy pine, sweet-ish with balanced hops & malts and a little heavier body that doesn't feel watery like other low-abv brews. Strikes a nice balance of malts/hops sweetness/bitterness with juicy tones.

For something at this relatively low strength, this is cruising to be one of the best lawnmower hazy/juicy IPAs that I've tried. A little bit hazy with a fairly heavy mouthfeel, this avoids the wateriness of some of its competitors. I'll have more

Easy drinking IPA. Got for camping high up near the Sawtooth’s. Cloudy golden amber appearance. Smell of citrus. Feel is light. Taste is hint of orange peel and grapefruit.

Draft at brewery. Bright golden, light haze, tight, creamy head. Faint citrusy aroma. Taste is a nice blend of malts and citrusy, fruity notes. Thick feel, fairly light on the palate.
