Light hazy golden with a white head - Hop aroma with fuity citrus - Malt body with a good fruity hop flavour that has some bitterness - The malt with and hop goes into the finish with citrus bitterness - This was real good

Canned 5/3/21 - once or twice a year a shipment of this shows up locally and vanishes within hours - well since COVID has me working from home and I can go to the liquor store in the middle of the day, I finally snagged some before it disappeared - suck it, motherfuckers - anyway, I actually tried this many years ago at Alchemist when it was still a brewpub but never rated it (I know, shame on me) - part of me was concerned about trying again for fear I’d not like it as much - luckily, this is not the case - in a world with a glut of good double ipas, there are still things that make this stand out - for one, it’s quite dry - the attenuation is great and the malt structure is firm - the layering of hop flavors is exceptional - a lot of dankness, pepper, pine - where a lot of hazy ipas are muddled, this retains the vibrancy of the hop oils really well - it’s definitely a standout in a crowded field - glad I got to try it again!

Glass or vase? This is a tasty tipple but after having like 1000 IPAs it hardly stands out. #mythbusters Pic: the greatest synth pop album since 1922

0,473 litre Can, shared with Bergstaden. Cloudy Golden with white head. Malts, hops, Citrus, some herbal bitterness.

Can (6/22/20) pour. Appearance is deeply hazy light brown-orange-yellow with nice lazy sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width foamy white head with decent retention and light lacing. Aroma is citrus, candied fruit, herb/vegetal, pine that you kind of need to sit with to get through the various layers. Cracker malt backbone. Taste is strong pine and citrus, with stone fruit and bitter component dominating the second half. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, fair alcohol warmth and finish as taste with strong bitter finish. Overall, I can see the bridge between the West Coast IPA's and the birth of NEIPA and this is an important beer. Very well crafted as there's good complexity but it doesn't beat you over the head. Enjoyable, and I'm glad I've now had it, but given what's being produced these days it doesn't blow me away. A bit thin for the style these days.

Hype-worthy. Big, juicy, resinous hop notes, dripping with grapefruit, orange, lemon zest, and stone fruit, backed up by wood, white pepper, and hints of berry, all slathered with a bitter, piney dose of hop vitriol. Subtle grain and honey sweetness creates a sturdy, necessary base. Finishes with a mild vanilla tone and endless oily hop goodness. Absolutely delicious.

16 oz. Five weeks old. Pours hazy golden-orange with a one+ finger cream-white pillowy head with excellent retention. Aroma is cantaloupe, B.O., latex, passionfruit, strawberry Laffy Taffy. Taste has a moderate to high pithy bitterness, light juicy sweetness, with flavors like the aroma. Perfect creamy mouthfeel with just right carbonation. Slightly better than Focal Banger. A little less perceived bitterness, too.
