2 month old pint can
A: Rich tawny gold with 1/2" of beige foam. Good retention and thick lacing.
S: Floral and citrus hops over woody malts with light caramel.
T: Bittersweet orange or tangerine citrus with a juicy tart fruit note giving way to a dry wood and caramel ending.
M: Medium light with average carbonation and thick mouthfeel.
O: Pretty good though I probably would not want more than 1 or 2.

Hazy gold in color with a two-finger head. Aroma is citrus fruit, tropical fruit, and dank pine resin. Taste is also citrus fruit, tropical fruit, and dank pine resin.

Very hazy and bright almost pure straw yellow coloured body with a thinnish, but about a single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of lemons, crisp cleanser notes and a bit of an astringency with cedar or oak type notes. Medium-bodied; Rich malts show here at first, but give way almost immediately to a perfumey and very crisp grassy hop bite that does have a good deal of alpha acid bitterness and less of the citrusey, fruity notes typically associated with the style. Aftertaste shows a good blend of malt and hops, especially in the finish with an easy-drinking profile, but balanced with some smooth, dry malt notes, and while there is a little bit of sweetness, it isn't cloying or potent, but easy-going and to the point. Overall, a pretty nice, relatively straight forward IPA, but to me this is much more closely aligned with a 'normal' East Coast style versus any New England variant, minus the unfiltered quality in the look. I sampled this pint on draught at Lady & Sons (restaurant) in Savannah, Georgia on 28-December-2021 with my family for US$7,00.
