4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 DocJitsu (305) - California, USA - MAR 30, 2013
Pours a very clear, light golden color with a nearly white, short head. Very grape fruity citrus nose. Wet, medium-bodied mouthfeel. Finishes with a little mild carbonation scrub. Grapefruit from start to finish. A little juicy at the end. This brew is in my wheelhouse. Love it!!

Bottle pour. My dog helped me drink this at 3 in the afternoon. Good hops - similar to Founders All Day IPA

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 BeerandBlues2 (7418) - Hanover, Maryland, USA - MAR 10, 2013
Bottle. Pours clear gold with a medium, two finger frothy and bubbly white head, short retention with the lacing retreating to the glass edge, leaving good lacing. Aroma is fresh grassy, pine, and citrus hops, lightly dank notes, peach and pear fruity esters, and light cracker malt. Flavor is heavy hops and moderate bitterness, fruity esters, supporting malt and a dry finish. Medium-light body and medium carbonation.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 Darwenus (386) - Virginia, USA - MAR 7, 2013
It pours the same yellow gold as American adjunct lagers, maybe just a shade darker. There’s no real head, no lace, and not much to distinguish the presentation. The smell is actually slightly bad. It reminds me of babyfood peas. The taste is a little bit better. It’s like someone figured out a way to hop water. There is no real flavor other than the hops, and the twang at the finish of the sip is kinda beer-like, but I won’t have this again. It’s not aimed at me, anyway.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 camborne (293) - Hopkins, Minnesota, USA - MAR 5, 2013
Classic citrus and pine nose. First off I get that this is a session beer, but while very drinkable I just don’t think it is anything special. Balanced yes but muted also. Could drink many of these? Yes . Would I want to? No

3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 Mittenator (453) - Michigan, USA - FEB 19, 2013
Not a big fan of this session beer trend. However, this is the best version I've found. Floral hoppy flavors (along with the aroma which initially is great) quickly dissipate and the body is thin. I'm sure I could drink a bunch in a row. Not sure I'd want to.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20 beerscout (274) - New Windsor, New York, USA - FEB 18, 2013
Bottle. Pale yellow color. Thin white foamy head. Aroma of flowers and esters, with a bit of citrus and clove. Flavor was lightly hopped, but clearly defined in its spice and pine layers. Not overpowering. I see what they were getting at with this brew. It works well for me, as I do not like too much hops. Light body, but not too light on flavor. If you love hops, this is weak, if you just like hop flavor, but not the kick in the face, this one is for you.
