Light and hoppy is the perfect way to describe Uncle Jesse. This West Coast Session Ale is perfect for the person looking for the hoptasticness of an IPA, but not all the alcohol. Dank and citrus notes from the hops outweigh the balance with the subtle honey malt flavor and aroma.

Pours a clear amber color with a thin, white head that leaves little bits of lacing.
Smells of big pine hops with some tropical fruits.
Tastes of the big hops with a small malt backbone. Hops lead off with pine and floral notes backed by tropical fruits and citrus. Herbal bitterness comes through. Malts lean in and add a touch of toasted bread and some sweetness. Finishes up with some earthy hops leaving a lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel is medium with a crisp amount of carbonation.
Overall, I really like this. It is hop heavy with low alcohol, and I wish it was sold in 6 packs.

Color, head on point for an American Pale Ale. Very bitter for a session ale - by 'dank' I guess they mean all cascade hops and unfiltered bits of bitter trub floating throughout the beer. May be somebody's bag, not mine.

Comes in pretty much a light orange, looked substantial, but ultimately this one didn't come through as pretty as the beer. Aroma was pretty muted, a little bit of pale toasted honey malt and some hops. Not bursting.
Sessionable, there isn't a ton of hop flavor or bitterness here, is decent but not really a good format or pricing structure for bombers. Especially when I can just get 4 packs of Alpha session or 6 packs of Even Keel, I don't think this will be a repeat purchase.

Pours a murky dark orange with a foamy beige head that settles to a small cap on top of the beer. Thick swaths of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Small chunks of sediment are seen floating around in the beer after the pour. Smell is of malt, citrus fruit, citrus zest, and grapefruit juice aromas. Taste is much the same with citrus zest, grapefruit juice, earth, and herbal hop flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an above average beer that is drinkable, but nothing really stands out about this one to me.
