Pours a slightly hazy gold from a can, lots of lacing. Nondescript light citrus aroma has a resiny finish, similar flavor, rather light, more like a classic IPA that happens to have some haze to it. Good beer, unassuming.

Draft. Slightly hazy golden beer with a cream head. Dank light pine aroma. Earth and dank pine flavor. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Earth and dank pine linger with light citrus.

Hazy light golden and raw honey coloured body with a sort of pale straw coloured tint, all with a tall, rich four to five centimetre tall off-white head and about ninety per cent opacity. Aroma of crisp, dry flowers and fresh cut grass with some light citrus fruits noticeable and a hint of pepper, too, but no real sweetness, malt or alcohol detected. Light-bodied; Crisp, very grassy and floral profile at first that shows some grassy and tea-like notes with a dash of mango fruit is here as well, with a more noticeable floral and perfumey hop bit closer to the end, but again, no real malt is detected. Aftertaste is crisp, clean, dry herbal and fragrant, with some light bitterness and alpha acids coming through and a soft, fruity citrus fruit profile, but way more fresh-cut grass and dry notes compared to those associated with New England IPAs. Overall, a nice enough beer, but I was expecting more from a real New England producer, but this was average, albeit nice to try, especially fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 21-December-2020 for US$4,69 sampled at my house here in Washington on 14-January-2021.

Can. Not a gusher per se but frothed up enough that I was glad I was at a wipeable table. A light haze on this slightly pale gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry and has a decent fine minerally crispness. Soft fluffy malts, a frothy creamy sweetness. Nice crisp if light Idaho 7 hops. Crisp bright pine with that characteristic bright citrus and tropical fruits that have a mildly resinous vibe. Fluffy semi dry finish. Nice. Good Idaho 7 presentation here and very drinkable. The messy opening is forgiven.
