We give “catching a draft” a whole new meaning with this citrusy session swiller. Like a smooth moving line of riders this session IPA sets the pace to get you where you’re going.

Poured from a tallboy can into a Dogfish Head tulip
L: Nearly clear medium golden our with 1.5 fingers of fluffy white head. Nice ring of lacing.
S: Citrus and light grains. Strong grapefruit.
T/F: Follows the nose. Light grains with a bitter citrus forward hop profile. Grapefruit and orange rind... slightly floral. Light bodied but with more bitterness and oomph than expected given the low ABV.
O: A very solid session IPA. Great flavor and low ABV. Super drinkable.

A thanks to the founding father of the canquest, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a dark golden color with a 1 inch head. Smell is of citrus, some floral notes. Taste is oranges, light lemons, mild bitterness. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall has more flavor than you would expect at such a low abv.

Pours light cloudy rust color. Smell is nondescript malts and hops. Taste leans toward mineral and floral. Drinkable but a touch dry, about average for the style. Maybe I got a bad can? Not impressive at all.
Edit: got a bad can. Am hearing this is a recurring issue.

Crowler into a snifter glass
A. Clear orange gold with a finger of white soapy head medium lacing.
S. Huge amazing floral Aroma some orange juice, some stone fruit, lemon grass, floral notes just boom in this beer.
T. Light pale and cracker malt lay the base on this one for some really solid hope notes to blossom. A little pine and grassiness, tons of floral character, light orange and grape. This is a true session IPA.
M. Best part of this beer, so incredibly clean, bright and refreshing, goes down so easy.
O. An actual session IPA, great flavor and aroma, unique character with a fantastic feel that you can drink all day every day. Hope Rubber Soul all the best and hope I can get their beer again. Props to my parents for bringing this back to PA
