A lo-cal IPA that is slight in cals and carbs with mighty hop flavor! Slightly Mighty has all the flavor and tropical aromas of a world class IPA, but with only 95 calories, 3.6g carbs, 1g protein and 0g fat. Brewed with locally-grown barley, and a touch of monk fruit that delivers body and complexity but adds zero calories or carbs, Slightly Mighty is light-bodied and offers a lingering balanced sweetness.

This beer pours a nice golden color with a foamy white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma is lemon and grains. The taste is the same as aroma with a little sweetness and low hop bitterness. Nice light IPA that is easy drinking. BB 2-2025

I am rating it as the low cal/carb beer it is, or I guess it should say, was. it disappeared and I cant find anything comparable.
until then, I am getting older and fatter. last month I started back at the gym.

Off a relatively hard pour, a 3 finger head forms on top of a hazy golden orange body. the head retention is neither fantastic, nor terrible, but as the head recedes, the bubbles become coarse and unappealing. It tries to lace but fails.
Aroma is what you would expect from an IPA. Hoppy with notes of fruits and some slight resin. Definitely very bright. Some lemony citrus is what I'm really picking up, but not a lot else is going on. It does smell pleasant, if not a bit sweet.
Taste is much more bland than the aroma, especially up front. The hops begin to come out and play a bit more during the finish, but seem to get cutoff as the flavor disappears entirely after not too long. Not a whole lot of malt is present at all, but I suppose that is to be expected. Again a lemony-orangey, slightly zesty note is present due to the hops. This beer really isn't all that bitter at all.
Feel is surprisingly full for what this is. Not to say it is a heavy feeling beer at all, but it does linger on the palate for even longer than the hop flavor does. It isn't all that dry although there is a very slight astringency. It is easy drinking, I'll give it that.
Overall, this is what it is. A "light" IPA. That is to say a light beer that is an IPA. No off flavors, but at the same time there just isn't a lot of flavor. Its not a bad beer, I just want more from it. I guess people drink hard seltzers though so maybe I'm just off base. Hard to call it mighty though...

Looks like a good hazy IPA full 2 in of froth. Smells like an ipa tastes like a slightly bitter lager. Body doesn't have much to it. It's hoppy crisp and then nothing. Overall, for the price of $1 for the can I think I got my money's worth not bad

Hazy, golden color. Big, white head. Citrus and floral notes in the aroma. Dry, balanced taste with a decent bitterness. Easy drinkable, light beer .

A light brew that doesnt taste like it. Its like a lighter brother to the 60 minute IPA offering from Dogfish Head. For those who like the IPA flavor but not all the calories, this is a great find.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours orange yellow with a fluffy white head. Smells of citrus hops. Tastes of sweet citrus and grain. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.
