16oz can purchased from the fridge as a single for $4.35. Canned on 11/03/2022, so this is 4 months and a week old.
Look: Pours a pale yellowish color with moderate haziness. Rocky half-finger of off-white head. Became very cloudy after pouring the bottom of the can (lots of hop proteins, yeast).
Smell: Notes of citrus, tropical fruit, melon, and bubble gum along with green character. Has a green bell pepper/peppery note on the finish after swirling the glass.
Taste: Pretty good. For a 4.2% ABV beer, there's a lot of flavor here. Up front, there are nice orangey and peachy notes along with some juiciness. The finish is significantly bitter with very earthy, resinous, and woody notes.
Feel: The mouthfeel is on the lighter side, it's a bit lighter than medium bodied. Nicely carbonated.
Overall: My first beer from Dancing Gnome. This is a nice low-ABV Pale Ale/IPA (it's self described as a Petite IPA but the stylistic ABV range for IPAs is 5.5-7.5%). However, I feel like it lacks the malt/hops balance that I enjoy from American Pale Ales and it lacks the body and depth of higher-ABV IPAs. I got bored of it pretty quickly.
From the can:
STYLE: Petite India Pale Ale
HOPS: Ella, Enigma
NOTES: Small but mighty, Ella and Enigma hops are on full display in this easy drinking but potent Petite IPA. ABV dialed back, hop saturation turned to 11. Just the way we like it.

Pours a pale yellow color. Nice floral and earthy notes with hints of citrus,
More bread and wheat in the taste. Not overly hoppy or flavorful but nice and super easy to drink.

White hazy light golden color
Lots of white foam
Big hop bouquet
First taste is bubblegum, but settles into tropical fruit.
Very little bitterness and creamy mouthfeel.
I'll take this for my lawnmower beer every time.
