Canned 3/2/26, drunk 4/20/26.
Really interesting character; not your run-of-the-mill NEIPA. Berry, earth, interesting floral notes, lots of fresh yeast and yet not much in the way of a New Englandy nose (not soft, not juicy, not tropical). The malt seems a bit crusty and biscuity too, with a hint of toast. No alcohol or resin noted.
Oh wow, that is a lot sweeter than expected. Not syrupy, not cloying, but just full of rich honey, rich brown bread and with a ton of cherry, juicy orange and overripe kumquat. Very low bitterness per the style, but not too low, I suppose. It's a weird one, but in a good, unique way. Wish there was just a bit more bitterness, but this is right up there with the best.

Pours murky dark gold into a tulip. White head with medium retention recedes to mottle surface. Hot tangerine and honey aromas. Sweet with honey orange cake and hot passion fruit front to back. Lasting earthy pine finish.

Citrus, a little grapefruit and some lemon. Pours murky yellow with decent head, some lacing. Light citrus bite at the end and some bitterness. Nice balance. Love this. Tap at Kettles and Grains.
