OK AIPA. Poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass, this beer featured a slightly hazy gold color and a medium sized bubbly/foamy white head with better than average retention and some lacing on the glass. Aroma and taste include some tropical fruit (pineapple) and some citrus, backed up by mild bitterness. Mouthfeel was crip and slightly bitter. Nothing remarkable but not bad either!!!

4 pack purchase from Dancing Gnome’s taproom 6/22/22. Very hazy golden color. A very nice ripe tropical fruit nose. The taste is very lush with a very subtle hop bite on the back end. For an IPA this has a lot of character and depth. Very impressed!

16 oz can
Pours slightly hazy golden, sudsy head dissipates to a lacing.
Smells of citrus, cracker and cereal malts, sourdough and herbal notes.
Flavor is of sourdough bread malt, citrus zest, herbal and floral notes with a mild zesty hop finish.
Lighter body, sting of carbonation on the tongue.
Pretty decent pale ale with a nice flavor. A tad watered down and thin, but otherwise nothing to complain about. A bit too strong for sessions making it just okay and not worth grabbing from DG if almost anything else they make is available. But at the same time nothing to turn your nose up at.

Had this on 2019-05-16 in Bethel Park, PA from a 16oz canned on 2019-05-13
A- Lightly hazy yellow with 1 finger white head
S - Huge sweet pineapple and orange flesh. Mildly dank
T - Citrus, mango, pine, lightly toasted bread, aspirin, grassy and herbal spice. Moderately bitter.
M - Soft. Medium body and carbonation
O - Very fine brew. Cross between West Coast and NEIPA. Suits my palate.

Pale yellow pour, a little flat. Not much nose. Pretty grassy and a little chalky, but otherwise good, more like a pale though there is some bitterness at the end
