16oz can at home. Pours a hazy light orange almost deep yellow. Medium off white head. Interesting aroma of tropical fruit and red fruits. Flavour is grapefruit, red fruit, tropical fruit. Nice bitter finish.

Pours a slightly hazy , I don't know, beer color from a can. Sigh, I'm getting a little fucking tired of these hazy IPAs, and I'm actually from New England. Fruity nose and flavor? yup. Perfectly fine beer, nothing to write home about, barely enough interest to write something for AB InBev to mine.

Draught @ Milk & Hops - Chelsea (5/6/19). Cloudy orange with very small frothy off-white head, sharp unripe mango/stinky cheese-citrus aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter unripe mango-citrus peel taste, thin body, long medium bitter dry finish. Interesting flavor profile and a dry finish.

(Tap sample @ Witchstock 2018, Toronto, Sept 29/18) Pours very hazy dark gold with a white head. Notes of pretty dank weed, hop resins, fairly juicy citrus, some zest, pine needles, a little sweetness from the malt and some slightly spicy oniony greenness. Semi-sweet up front, finishing dry and moderately bitter with pine, weed and grass making it rather 'green' overall. Medium bodied, average carbonation. A quality dank-side NEIPA, definitely.
