The beer I'm drinking is called "You've Changed" Session IPA. This brewery has only been open for a few months so I'll assume this is the same beer which has been called "Session IPA" on here. Pours a very light straw colour, uniform light cloudiness with a tall fluffy white head which fades moderately quickly. Little lacing while drinking. Smelling from the bottle, I didn't get much - was worried that it smelled like a 'regular beer'. After pouring, the aroma revealed itself. Still pretty mild, but some grassiness & the same tropical fruit as the other 2 I've tried from this brewery; High Grade & Sundrop. There is some maltiness right off the bat upon tasting. Then grassiness kicks in along with some light sour grapefruit. Mouthfeel is a little watery & slightly over carbonated. Swirling fixed the carbonation. I'm going to say that for a session IPA this was pretty good. I tend to find sessions feel & taste overly watery & while there was a touch of this it packed some decent taste into the 4.7 ABV. I don't think I'd buy it again but that has more to do with the fact I'd rather drink their tastier IPAs.

500ml bottle purchased from the brewery poured into a snifter glass.
L: Pours a golden yellow with two fingers of thick white head. Great retention and lacing throughout.
S: Not much going on here unfortunately, a bit of bready malt and some hop presence. Not getting the tropical fruits (peach, apricot, honeydew) as advertised.
T: More complex than the nose, the fruit flavours are there but you have to dig for them. A nice bready aftertaste that reminds me of Smuttynose's Finest Kind IPA.
F: Clean, dry finish, very refreshing, medium carbonation and surprisingly full-bodied for a session IPA.
O: A solid session IPA and something I can see myself coming back to as an easy-drinking, afternoon beer for the summer. This brewery is a great spot and you should definitely check it out if you're in the west end of Hamilton.
