Structures Brewing

A low ABV of just 4.1%, yet has all the flavor of an IPA, modestly presented. Floral nose, upfront bitterness, malt base with low presence. Moderately dry, finish is good, it's certainly sessionable if you care for the way it's put together.

I had this beer on-tap in a pint glass at Collins Pub in Seattle.

Appearance: thoroughly hazy medium orange hue. Minimal head, but the color is pretty glorious.

Smell: light orange creamsicle aroma; low in intensity, but nice.

Taste: like watered-down orange juice, but in a good way. Considering this is a "session IPA", they are packing a lot of flavor in here.

Mouthfeel: medium-light body with a surprisingly good creaminess.

Overall: a highly drinkable, well-executed session IPA. I actually think the combination of hazy and low-ABV actually works, and this is a good example of it.

Poured from a can at fridge temp. Pours a murky orange with white head. Lacing is evident. Nose is dank, pine, fresh grapefruit, wet grass, mango, pineapple, and a little bit of pickle juice.

The taste is really nice. Sweet with a touch of hoppy bitterness on the back end. Tropical fruit - mango and pineapple hit first. A bit of citrus peel, pine needles, grass, lime, lemon, and a touch of leather.

Mouthfeel is dry and fairly light. This is a great and easy-drinking hazy IPA.

Structures apparently does not think it worth mentioning this is a hazy style of IPA. Distinctly cloudy in the glass with plenty of foam. Aroma is citrus peel with a vegetal nose. Taste is lime peel with grapefruit chaser. Very dry finish, and then for the aftertaste you have the astringency. this is not what I'm hoping for in a hoppy beer, especially one with such a light body.

I think Session + New England is not a happy equation. Bitter, acidic, and dull. From the 16 oz can purchased at Elizabeth Station. Not dated.

 

 

It pours a denser golden haze than I've seen in other session IPA's topped with a fluffy white one inch head. Citrus and peach on the nose. A nice punch of tropical hops up front with a drier finish than expected. Some astringency came along with the soft body. More flavor than most session IPA's. This would be very crushable on a hot summer day.

Disclaimer - This is a hazy and I don't like hazies.
Looks like canned pineapple juice. Strong citrus peel oil aroma. Thin bodied, sharp tangerine peel flavor. Sharp citrus peel oil finish.

Many thanks to @beertunes for a can of this nectar.

The beer pours a golden, slightly hazy, amber color with excellent head retention and impressive sticky lacing all around. The nose isn't half bad either, as I pick up a fair amount of tropical fruit, lime and oat cereal. The flavor profile replicates the nose, but isn't quite as in your intense and in your face. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, but with a very clean, crisp, moderately long finish, with noticeable bitterness. Alcohol is very well integrated into the flavor profile, and drinkability is excellent.

I'm generally not a big fan of so called session IPA's, but this is excellent. Especially given the abv., this would be part of my regular rotation.
