Slightly hazy golden and copper coloured body with a thin, single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of bright grassy and resinous hops, earth, tang powder, curacao, grass and herbs along with a bit of alcohol - this must be severely dry hopped - it smells great! Light-bodied; Deep bitter malty and nutty flavour with a bit of caramel, light apple and pear sweetness and a touch of herbs, but the earthiness is noticeable. Aftertaste shows more of a grassy, herbal and earthy flavour with some lighter hop elements, a touch of malt and a little sast iweetness - this is fairly mellow and uninspired, but at least it isn’t assertive or pungent. Overall, worth trying if you like Light IPAs, but basically, just a grassy and slightly resinous hop flavours throughout. I sampled ths twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 12-July-2015 for US$1,79 sampled at home in Washington on 03-November-2016.

Hazy orange with a white head. Hoppy with light malt, citrus, orange and light caramel. Soft and easy to drink.
From bottle served in glass. Wonderful aroma. Nice hop first taste followed by a bit maltier body than I am used to in an American ipa. Solid offering less citrusy and piney than I prefer.
Bottle - Pours deep gold with white head, good lacing, sticky. Aroma of pale malt, lemon. Tastes smooth citrus, pale malt, some flora and hops finish. Drinkable session.
A very well done session IPA. Fruity. Tangy very good mouthfeel not to much building hop bite.

Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with hop bitterness.
Decent enough session gear with an old skool malty base.
Bottle from GBBF 2016 and drunk at home. Hazy orange amber colour lasting cream head. Resin hoppy aroma a little crystal malt i thought. Some sweet tropical fruit. More tropical fruit in mouth hoppy bitter finish. So the aroma isnt great but it gets better. Just a bit too sweet and the aroma has a little oxidised hop.
Sampled from bottle @ ChrisO’s after GBBF Day 1. Clear orange color, average sized off-white head. Aroma is malts, hops, a tad old perhaps, but still ok. Taste malts, hops, nicely bitter, hop bitter. Yeah I like it. Decent body and carbonation.

Had it on tap at Kaseys. Pours a deep orange hue with a creamy head and a light hop aroma. The taste is hoppy, resiny, piney and watery. Eh.
Bottle, golden color with minimal foam, fruity nose, flavor has lots of cardboard and muddy flavor of pine, normally like their product
Had this one yesterday while grilling, but decided to eat the hot food rather than entering my comments immediately. It’s OK because it’s nothing to write home about anyway. Had a very mild taste, which makes sense since papaya and kiwi aren’t really flavorful. Just a hold lot of meh.
Sample at Waldo Hopfest 2016. Comes a clear darker gold with a nice white head. Aroma of citrus and floral. Taste is grapefruit, tropical, pine, and malt. OK.
Tap @ Jack Brown’s. Dark golden with off white head and light lacing. Smells pleasantly lightly hoppy. Flavor is lightly hoppy. Not bad.

On tap at the brewery.
A clear copper with a thick off-white head of foam. Great hop fruit bouquet with some dank notes. The first impression is a deep piney bitterness fighting it out with sweet pithy citrus. Too bitter for my tastes but hop heads will love it.
Bottle poured a clear gold with a lasting off white head. Aromas of bread, earthiness, pine and light grapefruit. Palate was light bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of bread, earthiness and pine with a smooth dry lightly bitter lingering pine finish.
From a 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear gold with a fine white head. Fruity nose. Flavors of orange and tropical fruits. Bitter finish.
12 oz bottle picked up locally from notes. Pours a clear amber color with a small off white head. The aroma and flavor have toasted malts, earthy, light resiny, citrus hops, caramel, light honey notes, nose was decent, flavor fell of a bit, session IPA it is but I will session other beers.
Appearance: pours with a large beige head, the beer is a very clear light gold color
Aroma: citrus, flowers, grass
Taste: very nice pale malt backbone with a nice grain Taste, maybe even wood or rye is there too, nice assertive bitterness that is strong but does not crowd out the malt
Palate: lively carbonation, light mouthfeel, bitter aftertaste
Overall: this is delicious, a session ipa that is bitter but has a nice grain profile as well, easy drinking
Something off for me. Not a great session IPA but it’s beer and its drinkable.
