Can (4/20/20) pour from Harvest Wine & Spirits, West Hartford. Appearance is opaque dark orange-light brown with nice sparkle at the edges of the glass, a couple of nasty yeast tubes at the bottom, 4-finger(!)-width white foamy head with good retention and light leggy lacing. Aroma is very strong citrus and nectarine. Taste is sweet nectarine and citrus with mild vegetal component. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation, nice alcohol warmth and dry, crisp sweet finish as taste. Overall, not terribly complex but this has tons of juice! And, this is slightly over 90 days so would love to taste this fresher. A little thin. Digging it.

Fairly clear deep copper, bronze and deep orange coloured body with a rich, deep, microfoamed tan head, about 5 centimetres tall. Aroma of alcohol, pine, resin, pineapple, lemons, citrus, cleanser and a dash of pure astringent notes. Medium to Full-bodied; Very sweet flavour of citrus, grapefruit, resin, honey and some more pungent, dry floral and grassy flavours that hit towards the end, with a relatively balanced and soft tail end with pure citrus notes. Aftertaste is surprisingly balanced, refreshing, full-of-flavour with good hop bitterness, a pleasant sweetness, good citrus and dry notes with some definite hop bitterness, but considering the alcohol, very well restrained. Overall, a very nice balanced, full-flavoured yet relatively soft and polished real Imperial IPA that has hop bitterness, sweetness, dry flavours AND a bunch of alcohol - very nicely done overall and easily recommended for all to find - especially IPA lovers, of course! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 13-April-2020 for US$4,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 19-May-2020.

Draft at The Casual Pint Falls Church. Poured a very hazy, cloudy yellow-orange color with a small white head. Aroma was a lot of citrus - orange. Tropical fruits. Light creamy, smooth character. Bitterness is really low in this one. Smooth. Nice stuff.

Dipa provning 4 olika hos PQ. Svag doft av tallbarr, lakrits och lite apelsin . Ovanlig Nya Ängland doft. Smakar ? Jo svagt lakrits? Lite svagt fin jaffa apelsin och lite tallbarr . Välgjord annorlunda Nya Ängland . Inga konstiga skitsmaker som vissa nya Ängland bryggerier fortfarande får till. God men inte i närheten av Cloydwaters nya Ängland.
