This one pours a slightly hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and a little bit of lacing.
I don't really know what Buddha's hand smells like, but basically smells super citrusy with some lime, also with a touch of vanilla on the nose.
As sour IPAs go, this is somewhere in the middle of the pack. The vanilla and lactose add a light sweetness but are definitely not overdone, which I appreciate. There's a generic citrusy and slightly sour sweetness here.
This is light bodied, clean, and pretty drinkable.
This isn't gonna blow your socks off, but it was decent.

Nice subtle sour, not so much that it makes you pucker - the color of Tang, with an obvious orange aroma and back taste, with hits of apricot in both as well. No lacing and very little hop taste. Extremely easy drinking, can not wait to have a few of this out on the back patio this summer!
