16oz can from Tavour. Hazy yellow pour, fluffy one-finger white head. Light hoppy aroma with some fruity notes. Taste brings some zesty citrus action, held up by a nice bready, biscuit malts body. Light on the palate but full of flavor.

 

The best, most flavorful and full bodied sub-4% IPA that I've ever had. This is a perfect beer to session into a pool/beach day when you want a hit of something more bigger but need to keep things level. In a blind test I would absolutely guess this was a 6% hazy.

This certainly looks the part of a hazy IPA, with a hazy pineapple colored body propping up an off-white head that is creamy and laces the glass nicely. The nose is dank citrus aromas, with grapefruit rind and lemons most prominent. I am now officially intrigued.

The taste is …… like the beer is being run through a mask. It’s got the grapefruit and lemon flavors and they’re a bit muted and a LOT watery, impacting both the taste and the mouthfeel. My guess is that’s the trade to keep the ABV so low.

I’m glad I tried this, but it definitely pump faked me after drawing a whiff from the can.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to judkinst for the can while camping up in NH for July 4th weekend! Enjoyed on a public beach on Lake Winnisquam since public sand is hard to come by on Lake Winnipesaukee. Smells, drinks, and goes down like a hoppy Blonde Ale. Fantastic stuff, as expected.
