Poured from a pint can into a pint glass. It presents beautifully with a full 3 finger white head, golden body of beer. Decent pine & citrus notes on the nose. Tasted fine, but nothing memorable. It's a lower abv IPA, good for summer. It is associated with a cause - a bike team I believe. Overall it isn't going to shake your world, but it will quench your thirst without the bigger abv that could slow you down.

 

 

Lumpy, slowly dissipating four-finger head. It leaves a moderate amount of lace on the glass. The liquid is hazy to cloudy with a pale straw color.

The smell is more grainy than hoppy. The aroma is similar to a pale ale with a decent amount of unmalted barley in the mash. The hop is floral and subtle. The combination is alluring.

This is a well-balanced beer. I pick up some dry apricot sweetness. The body is neutral with a lower carbonation level. The bitterness is light, particularly for an IPA. The beer is easy to drink and with an 5% abv, it might be better described as a pale ale.

Somewhat hazy light gold pour with a modest white head about a pencil thick. Most everything is mild about this beer. It's not in your face, has refreshing qualities and is definitely sessionable. Orange-tangerine flavor, a bit of tropical fruit, and a fairly benign resin bite. More mild than wild, but enjoyable.

 

 

A: The beer is very hazy pale whitish yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that consistently left a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of apples and passion fruit are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has little to no bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a bit juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer seems to taste more like a pale ale than an IPA but is easy to drink and flavorful.
