Slightly enjoyable aroma, average flavor, and nothing much special. Having said that, I love this refreshing beer and it is a wonderful everyday drinker. Nice dry flavor and finish and a light hint of that sour ipa flavor.

Pours light copper with generous frothy white head. Smells of sweeter hops. Drinks very easy with nice balance to the hops and maltiness. Nice brew. Would be happy to drink anytime.

Pours a yellow amber, not transparent so it has some texture. The aroma is hoppy (surprise). Not very dense or complex. Just upfront and untamed. A bit sweet and citrusy once you break it down. Has a sharp bitterness, waxy feel, some malty sweetness, light citrus, american ipa for sure.

Resin hop aroma. Lighter orange color with a small white head. High amount of malt in the taste but still has a good hop bite throughout. Thisk palate.

Pours a bright, slightly hazy gold with an attractive, thick white head that nicely laces the glass. Aroma of citrusy American hops and (dare I say it?) marijuana. Has a nice initial balance of hop resins, sweeter malt flavors and fruitiness followed by a firm bitterness. Not as extreme as most IPAs these days but a balanced and drinkable one.
