Not blown away, but then again it’s a classy lawnmower beer. Not as hoppy and full-bodied as Hill Farmstead’s Edward, which remains the standard bearer for me for session IPAs.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle thanks to trade with joromiller! Pours a clear golden brown with bubbly off-white head that dissipates to leave light lacing. Aroma of bready grains, biscuit, grassy and pine hops. Taste is pretty much all malts with a font of floral hops. No real bitterness, which definitely makes it easy to drink. For the abv it had more flavor than I’d expect.

Bottle sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks zvikar. Hazy amber. Hoppy orange aroma, dry bitterness and a little citrus, hoppy finish, medium body.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a very clear golden color - not as dark as typical IPA. Great nose - floral, fresh, piney. Taste is grapefruit, citrus, very mild hops. Less bitter than most IPAs, but this is a really good, easy drinking beer.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Fresh, piney, herbal hops on the aroma — very gentle and, again, super fresh. The taste is gently bitter, with all the hop aromatics coming to play, creating a sweet, very green cocktail of pine cones, pineapple, mango, and herbal elements. Not super assertive, but as a result very drinkable and refreshing. Solid, spritzy palate with decent carbonation. A tad watery towards the end. All in all, an incredibly sessionable beer. Midway between an APA and an IPA perhaps, but I like that.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz. bottle, thanks to joromiller! Pours a clear amber color with a thick, fluffy white head. Aroma is mild, but hoppy. Taste is crisp, hoppy, citrusy, nice malt balance with a slight hop bitterness in the finish. Overall, nothing out of this world, but definitely a solid, sessionable IPA.
