Beautifully constructed and hop-forward, LOLA is a beer that’s as drinkable as it is flavorful. Bursting with notes of refreshing citrus and tropical fruit from Citra and Mosaic hops, this everyday enjoyable IPA is one you can keep in your fridge year round.

Pours an opaque golden yellow with a quickly dissipating head, very little lacing going on here. Aroma is pretty mellow and non-descript. Tastewise, lemony hop bitterness with a bit of a twang - finishes pretty dry. Decent mouthfeel and appropriate carbonation make it a pretty enjoyable beer to toss back on a summer day. I wouldn't call it a great beer, but it's certainly not a bad beer. I'd like to try it on draft, I think it would be pretty good.

Draft pour into a pint glass.
Semi-clear orange appearance with a bountiful foamy white head and blotchy lacing. Citrus, grapefruit, wildflower, pine notes. Moderate body, moderate carbonation, crisp and refreshing.

16oz can from Halftime. Pale golden pour, hazy, light white head. Aroma and taste are soft, lightly fruity, citrus and floral. Very mellow and subdued.

A: The beer is slightly hazy and a bit pale yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that died down and left a narrow collar around the edge and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of lime citrus are present in the nose along with hints of gooseberry.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional hints of lychee. There is a light amount of carbonation.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This IPA is super easy to drink given its lighter body and low alcohol content but quite flavorful. With its juicy mouthfeel seems to straddle being classified as an American IPA or a New England IPA.
Serving type: can

[Bottled on 12/9/20]
Appearance: A beautiful golden hue with a slight haze. A two-finger head.
Smell: A pleasant floral, slight honey.
Taste: Upon first hitting your tongue you can feel the potential for lots of flavor but none really gets delivered sadly. A tease. Slightly herbal with a very slight citrus lingering at the end.
Mouthfeel: Light carbonation. Crisp like a refreshing drink but right before the refreshing part actually hits…you’ve swallowed and it’s gone. It leaves you wanting more, which is good for the brewery but not for your taste buds.
Overall: It’s an easy drinking beer. Not much to say about the flavor since there was no boldness to it. This is like a tastier Corona Extra.
