You found a Rare Candy! That's right, there's no need to keep stumbling around in the basement of the S.S. Anne, or search endlessly beneath the tall grass for a chance at finding one of these elusive treats. We at Little House are proud to package and sell the one item that others dare not to! So go ahead and have that first sip, it’s okay. You can skip your training for just one day and level up the easy way with this hazy, hop-saturated liquid XP. Indulge in the full-bodied, malty, and soft mouthfeel that comes from a grain bill of Connecticut-grown barley, wheat and oats. But, be careful drinking something like this out there in the wild…we prepared for trouble and made this crusher of a confection double dry-hopped with only the freshest Citra and Simcoe hops that we could find. It’s quite irresistible to all sorts of monsters - especially the ones that fit in your pocket!"

Can to becher glass.
Appearance is as shown in the picture.
Aroma: mixed citrusy to piney hop noted up front then subtle pineapple with an ever so slight and disappearing at times light "candy-ish" fruity hop whiff; barely any malts noticed
Flavor: starts fairly bitter through piney and mixed citrusy rind-like tones then seems to get a sweet-ish pineapple taste and ends up melding within a little bit more sips; finishes with a little bit of stickiness and pineapple sweetness
Texture: medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness with that stickiness coming back to show some presence; good low-ish carb; medium to low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: seems to be "tracking" for the most part of a NEIPA but if anything the brewer could pull a bit of the hop bitterness assertiveness in the feel down just a little bit.

Can from CBC Liquors, Westford. Cloudy, banana smoothie yellow, tons of sparkle, decent head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, pineapple rind, apricot, faintest hint of cat box. Taste is strong pineapple rind over citrus. Smooth, somewhat watery texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Aroma and taste are fine--not super interesting--but mouthfeel is a little off. OK.

Pours slightly opaque golden with a thick white head. Aroma of pine. Taste is piney and citrusy, west coast style. Palate has more citrus, some distinct grapefruit notes. Good.
