Cheap Labor is a hoppy pale ale. Coming in at 5.5% ABV it is easily drinkable with a strong hop presence felt on the back end. The hops used provide hints of citrus and grapefruit.

Hazy pale yellow color, foamy white head. Earthy mild hop aroma. Mild flavor, bready malt and low bitterness, a touch of fruity hops. Softer mouthfeel.

Tastes like a very light IPA. Very little aroma even for a session IPA. Color is accurate to the style. Average carbonation.

Tastes like Just Another IPA Light. It's OK but not great. The most prominent flavor is that house Brix City taste that's in all of their beers which I'm not crazy about. nb

Surprisingly delicious, nice full mouth feel, almost a Pilsner quality and hops.

Kinda boring. It is a session IPA, so not expecting a whole lot anyways. This was just bitter, not much else in the way of flavor.
