Can: Poured a slight hazy pale yellow color ale with a nice large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of grassy hops notes with light citrusy notes is quite refreshing. Taste is a nice mix of fresh citrusy hops notes with grassy notes and very subtle bitterness. Body is average with good carbonation. Not the best from the series but very enjoyable nonetheless.

A:
Pours a milky yellowish color
with a couple fingers of airy beige head that ends up as a thin cap. Decent retention; ringed lacing sheet around the glass. (4)
S:
Herbaceous hops with lemon and grapefruit rind (more oily/bitter than juicy). (4)
T:
Sticky green hop flavor with a smooth underlying sweetness there is the same citrus oil quality but more as a shellac of light bitterness at the finish. (4.25)
M:
Medium body with soft carbonation and a sticky, faintly astringent hop finish. (4)
O:
This is a pretty nice IPA, definitely among the best of this series of beers from Vox Populi.
It does a relatively good job of bringing stickier, more bitter hoppiness into the beer-type of the moment. It looks like what your expect. The aroma and flavor highlight the hop well with a balance of juicy bitter citrus and bruised herbs. It is fairly drinkable though a little alcohol whiff and some slight astringency hurt it a bit in my eyes. All told, though, this is a nice beer and I'd have it again.
It's always nice to have a juice bomb that isn't quite a juice bomb. (4.25)
Edit: I've had it a few times now and with a week or more age beyond my original review (wanted to do more but couldn't hold out) it got noticeably better. I ended up bumping the taste, feel and overall scores up by a quarter point each. Definitely among the best of this series of beers in my opinion as far as catching multiple layers of a single hop in a delicious, juicy beer.
