A hazy pour into the glass with a white head and good lacing. Good mouth feel with mango and tropical flavors. This is a very nice day beer.

Pours hazy, gold in color with one inch head. Taste is big dank hops and light grapefruit. Light body, moderate carbonation, slightly bitter. Loads of flavor for the abv. Solid sessionable ipa.

This one pours a moderately hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells pretty citrusy, and smells "bigger" than the session IPA moniker would suggest. There's also pine and some lemon.
This is a really solid lower ABV take on one of my go-to IPAs. This is very citrusy, with a nice clean bitterness, and a really nice balance to it.
This is light bodied, crisp and clean, with a very nice drinkability.
I don't always love session IPAs, but this is a well done version.

A very well done "session" hazy IPA. Hits all the notes of Big Ditches Hayburner IPA if slightly subdued. Would and will buy again for as long as it lasts. Nice!

From tasting notes 6/13/19
Had on-tap at Big Ditch Brewing in Buffalo, NY
Appearance - Taster, hazy and mellow orange color with thin, broken layer of suds. Good lacing with broken webbing and lines covering the glass.
Smell - Bright citrus aroma with juicy orange and tangerine. Pineapple as well.
Taste - Follows the nose. Orange, tangerine and pineapple. Faint hint of pine mid-taste. Finish is mostly tangerine and pineapple acidity with a hint of dank taming it a bit.
Mouthfeel - Medium in body with fair carbonation. Drinks smooth before a mostly dry finish.
Overall - Digging this more than the Hayburner, for sure. More bright and tropical.
