Ok so this is basically a session at 5%. I defy anyone to find a session a well put together as this. Nice golden yellow with slight haze. Decent smell of tropical hops. A nice juicy albeit but a bit light taste. I’ll say it does have more taste than any session I’ve had. The feel is great. Nice and easy to drink and drink and drink. Exactly what you’d want out of a session. Great work here. Definely grab a six and enjoy.

On tap, imperial nonic pint. Heaven. Beautiful yellow with gorgeous stark white head. The contrast was eye catching. Easy drinking. Sumptuous. Grassy herbal almost "weedy" notes. Like delicious skunk brew. But bright and citral too. I really enjoyed this beer. Had to have two. I will be purchasing some cans, despite the detestable golf themed graphics. Excellent. Excellent.

12oz can. Pours a hazy pale straw color with 1/2 inch of head. Minimal lacing. The aroma is a big whiff of citrus. Lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit. The taste is citrus and pine. Lemon peel, lime and grapefruit. Pine and citrus peel finish. Lightly carbonated with a light body. Slightly dry mouthfeel. Pretty good Session IPA worth buying again.

A: cloudy; pale gold in color; 1+ finger ivory head that receded to a wispy cap; very nice lacing;
S: all citra;
T: citra up front, but it tastes like galaxy from the middle through the finish; mild to moderate bitterness at the end;
M: medium bodied; moderate carbonation; lightly dry finish;
O: although technically not a session IPA at 5%, this drinks better than most low ABV IPAs;

Sample can from local shop almost two months out (canned 6/16/17), yet still a very enjoyable Citra hopped session ale. Would recommend.
