Purchased as part of the Session Mashup 12 pack (I don't see a freshness date anywhere)
From the 11 oz stubby into a pint glass results in a pretty slightly hazed yellow body capped by a decent white head that settles into a persistent cap of foam with just a bit of lacing
Aroma is surprisingly pungent flowery hop notes (Cascade, Equinox and Citra)
Taste is also surprisingly good considering the low ABV (4.8) clean crisp body with a nice bitter finish, bitterness lingers for a while.
I didn't have high hopes for this beer as the Session IPA that I had a while back was a disappointment, this is quite good!

Simply my favorite beer of all time. No other beer under 5% ABV has anywhere near the flavor.

There is a canned on date of 11/15/18 which let's me know that it's still within the freshness range. The color is between dark yellow & light orange. The aroma is slight citrus & slight malts. The taste is some citrus, a little peppery, faint malts, slight citrus & the finish is slightly bitter. Cheers! B

Bright gold, slightly cloudy, white foam head with exceptional lacing.
Cereal grains, peppery hops in both aroma and flavor with a faint sugary backbone.
Light and crisp, dry and very easy to drink. Soft body, low bitterness (actually quite well balanced).
Nothing special, but an easy drinker right here. (Fitting name). Cheers.

Hazy gold with three finger of white head that lasted about five minutes. Rings of lace.
Smell is floral hops with good malt base.
Taste is floral hops with good bread crust malt support.
Mouthfeel is light with a good carbonation. The finish is mildly dry and lightly bitter.
Overall a fine session IPA.

12oz can, plastic hotel cup, canned 12/21/17.
Light for an IPA, very light clear and almost pilsner yellow. The head is just about white.
Bubble gum, grapefruit, and two-row.
A general crisp citrus bite greets the taste buds and quickly tails off to pale cracker malt and dryness.
There's some there, there, as someone once said. Though, I don't think they said it in the context of a smaller beer having some body and balanced to aggressive carbonation.
I could see getting some cans of this to crush on a long hot day when you want to retain some of your wits and I'm sure it packs more aroma and flavor when fresh (zero to four weeks). To be honest though, there are mounds of canned hoppy options even in this ABV range that edge this out.

11 oz bottle, packaged 9/18/17. Pours slightly hazy straw gold with a small creamy white head that goes to a thin film that laces the glass some.
The aroma is sweet sugary juicy fruit.
The flavor is some wheat malts with sweet sugary fruit with a dry medium bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.
Overall, a decent session IPA, but a little on the sweet side.
