Who's been drinking this

Really quite nice. A piney, light IPA with a sweetish cereal finish. The lightness and sweetness make for a good combination. Maybe I'm just over-happy it was no longer the lemon/chinook version?
Presents a lot of hop induced flavors (floral, citrus, resinous) without the caracteristic bitterness of IPAs. Was getting some bread flavors. Very pleasant and refreshing, but maybe a little bit to shy in its flavors.
Bottle at Home
Lots of pine on the nose, yet finishes nicely with no bitterness.
Bottle
This is the first session IPA I've had that came off initially as watery. It wasn't half bad after I got used to that, with a good, fresh flavor, but it didn't have much depth.
Bottle at Work
Smell and taste a bit like gin (herbal/floral). Tastes watered down instead of brewed with the purpose of being a session IPA
Bottle at Den of Iniquity
Thin and light cereal body with a thin bitterness of the resinous but floral variety. Short bitter end.
Bottle
Prolly my fave IPA in recent memory. Not bitter. Just the right hoppiness.
