Good head production, but mediocre retention. Slightly murky and hazy.
Wonderfully juicy aroma, with an emphasis on melon, mango, and pineapple, along with some fresh herbs. Smells like a low-ABV IIPA, somehow.
Flavor follows, absolutely bursting with hops so far beyond the low ABV. Session IPAs are normally nothing more than hoppy seltzer water; this somehow comes across, as completely full flavored. Tropical fruit notes lead the way: coconut, melon, pineapple, and a bit of mango. Slightly herbal. Sufficient malt base to provide a balancing sweetness.
This is wizardry. Such a strong flavor base at such a low ABV? I've never had a beer like this.

It would be helpful to have the specific variety printed on the can for those of us still learning- I could tell it wasn’t citra or galaxy so I think it is this one- Strata.
Any way, it was a very pleasant East Coast IPA, appearance, aroma, taste all in line with the genre, but that they did it at 4.2 ABV is pretty good. I’d certainly recommend this.
