Pours a hazy light golden color with a nice white head. Smell is fruity and tropical . Taste has citrus melon, berries , some lemon bread and grassy herbal notes . Mouth was a little thin more dry than sweet. Low ABV a session IPA that was tasty for the style.

This beer pours a lightly hazed golden color with a generous foamy, white head that persists and clings well to the glass.
Citrus dominates the aroma. Grapefruit and orange. May have a little pineapple. We be done here, move along.
The taste follows, decidedly citrus forward. Grapefruit first, then a pleasantly lingering orange and a little sweetness. No bitterness to speak of which makes this a bit monotone in character.
The feel is thicker than expected, but it isn't in the silky territory of a NEIPA. It come across as a bit watery more in the flavor intensity, but it isn't watery mouth feel, just light. Yeah, I don't get it either.
I find myself enjoying this, but that mouth feel/texture is weird. It isn't watery yet it isn't full enough either. Its somewhere in no mans land with mouth feel and doesn't really create a presence for itself. I don't have my undies in a bunch about the concept of a session IPA. I rather enjoyed Harpoon Take 5, but that beer is more of a WC traditional IPA brewed light, but with brewing steps taken to maintain the overall feel of an IPA, albeit light. This, seems to me, is kinda liked a detuned NEIPA. I believe it would have benefited from a bit of a different approach.
