12oz can. Poured a clear, golden amber color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was pine resin, grapefruit peel, nice citrus orange notes. Tropical, pleasant hop notes. Moderate bitterness.

Can, packed in March. Not quite clear golden amber with a near inch of puffy white head. Aroma of kumquats, bread, herbs, pine. Sweet & bready but not as sweet as ooh, I dunno, Stone IPA, with modest fruity notes (citrus, some watermelon) but firm piney bitterness. Solid stuff.

Deep copper and golden coloured body, all completely clear with a fairly soapy two to three centimetre tall tan head that leaves a pretty ugly lace on the sides of the glass. Aroma of floral and very perfumey hops without much citrus or pine notes and a touch of sugars as well, with a dash of candy sweetness noticeable as well and a hint of the alcohol. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very herbal hop notes shine through, with some bitterness, dry notes and light sweetness, all with a good malt backbone and remaining relatively easy-to-drink. Aftertaste shows some grassy and very herbal funk at first with a lot of hop bitterness and some dry notes, all with a smooth candy-like sweetness on the tail end with some very small orange-y notes and a touch of pepper. Overall, a fairly straightforward and crisp East Coast IPA with a lot of bitter notes, all stemming from the grass and floral hops, but enjoyable throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Food Lion in Oak Hall, Virginia on 14-June-2020 for US$1,67 sampled at my house here in Washington on 18-June-2020.

Got in a BIF from KMitch. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 4/11/2018. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. A bit muted/muddy aromas. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.3%. Overall this is a delicious IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink with the moderately bitter/resinous/drying finish, not too overly aggressive. Great Warrior, Centennial, Simcoe profile. Balanced juicy, dank, and earthy hop complexity; nice bready malt backbone, with no residual sweetness from lingering dryness. Reminds me a lot of Stone IPA, no surprise considering the head brewmaster. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on west coast style example as expected. Probably would have been better fresher.

Damn fine flagship IPA from New Realm, with a surprising melon streak offsetting the tropical-citrus hop profile and the firm biscuit-caramel malt base. Grapefruit, berries, and soap pop up as well, while the finish offers up tons of Pacific Northwest pine and a clingy, firm bitterness. Pours a sexy gold with a thick white head and endless lacing. Pine, citrus, and peach on the nose. Absolutely perfect creamy, oily texture. Can't wait to drink more from this brewery.
