4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20I had trouble with this beer - do I rate it based on its goals? a 4/12%ABV IPA/PA? Because if so, I this ranks right up there with one of the best 4.5% beers I have had. Hell, it has an incredible hop aroma when I popped the top, and 10x more flavor that any 5% corn-based slop produced by the majors. Just as I expected, very crisp, clean, dry as they come - and I agree with other reviewers - this could easily be a nice hoppy pale ale. The appearance was pretty boring with a clear yellow pour, but I quibble. a very nice lower alcohol product, and I am glad I bought 2 sixers of this limited release. Please make this a full-timer, guys!

The nose starts with a big, juicy citrus hop blast with some underlying pine notes. The starts with plenty of grapefruit and orange zest. The malt character is very light, grainy and crackery at best. As it warms, once again, the bitter, slighty resinous "greener" and grassier hops add to the flavor profile. A little thin, but very tasty.

I had this at Global Brew. I thought this was a pretty good IPA. I would drink this again.

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle. Notes of citrus, grainy, malty, pine, slightly skunked. I really enjoy hoppy session beers, I would like this more fresh.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured on draft. Pours a hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is very citrusy and lemony with just a sweet malty backbone. Taste’s kind of like somebody put some lemon zest in here. Fruity and just slightly bitter. It would be good on a hot day.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours clear light-gold, actively effervescent, ample white head. Aroma is citrus and light yeast. Flavor is same. Palate has malt substance with a nicely bitter finish. Overall, a very nice beer. The concept of a refreshing, crisp beer that has an ABV that doesnt dictate the rest of your day. Also best drunk cold, fresh and with a thirst - left to linger, the beer shifts towards skunky.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12oz bottle, golden pour, small white head. Excellent aroma and taste of hops, (lighlty done), but still satisified many hop heads out there. Well balanced, toast, lively, slight bitter finish. Could definitely drink many of these in one sitting.

Bottle. Pours a clear light yellow color with fizzy white head. Aroma is grassy and lemon zest and some pale malt. Taste is light lemon citrus, touches of grassiness, and crisp bready malts. Dry finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at home with my dad. Pour is clear golden straw color with a small white head and great lacing. Grassy, lemony, slightly herbal, biscuity, straw, hay, weed, and citrusy aroma. Taste is citrusy, lemon peel, biscuity, spicy, wet dog, grass, weed, and stake bread with a light bitter finish. Thin body with high carbonation. Starts to taste a bit watered down as it warms, but a pretty nice seasionable beer - this one should be nice for the summer time.
