6.3/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 6
Growler from Milk and Hops, Chelsea. Unclear golden-orange color with a thin white head and some spotty streaks of lace on the glass. Aroma comes off a little much diacetyl. Makes it difficult for me to pick out the other components, but I got a little fruit, grass, and spice. Light sweet, with a clean medium bitterness. Taste is less flawed than the nose. Clean, medium body, light dry on the close. Drinks like a much less than 8.5℅ beer. Actually quite like the mouthfeel of this one, even if the aroma and flavor feel flawed. I might have to try this one again (maybe the canned version instead of the draft) to see if this is what it is usually like, because the other reviews seem much better.

Tap pour into shaker pint glass at Jimmy’s Culpeppers. Appearance is cloudy dark yellow/light brown, with finger-width white foamy head with decent retention and fair lacing. Aroma is grapefruit, pine, tropical fruit, citrus with grass. Taste is balanced sweet fruit, citrus with bitter grapefruit and pine. Palate is medium bodied with thick, slightly slippery texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish like taste. Overall, bursting with flavor and aroma with decent complexity.

On draft at the Ale House in Amesbury MA. Pours a cloudy gold with an off white head. Intense fruit and floral nose. Flavors mandarin orange and grapefruit. Bitter finish. This one is a winner.

Poured from a 12 oz can. Aroma is rather fruity with a ton of pineapple juice. Soem light cracker malt note in the background. Some citrus notes with a touch of pine. Some light alcohol notes. Pours a hazy, slightly dull, golden orange with a medium sized, thick white head that recedes slowly to a thin film that lingers on the edges. Medium lacing and smallish legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with a moderate cracker malt backbone. Moderate pineapple and citrus notes with some lighter mango and stone fruit. Some light alcohol spice with moderate bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a good DIPA. Alcohol is well hidden behind the hops, bitterness and light sweetness. Hops seem nice, but based on the aroma I can’t help but wonder if this has pineapple juice in it; either way, a nice beer.

Thanks, foreverrrrr. The beer is a orangey yellow gold color. It’s clouded through. Solid white head. Good amount of lacing on the glass and a very good retention. The aroma is big on grapefruit rind, orange, tangerine, pineapple, passionfruit, light kiwi, a little melon and grape. Decently juicy. Fairly mild pale malt sweetness in the background. The taste has satisfyingly firm bitterness. Solid citrus pith bite. Some astringency and a nice minerality in the background. Decent amount of hop flavor comes through; agaain, pretty good level of juiciness. It’s an interesting compromise between traditional DIPA bitterness and current juicy juice cloudiness. Very easy to drink. 8.5% abv makes for a nice lower abv, avoiding the dangers of high alcohol, high malt territory. Very nice work. First Rhode Island review!
