Can from the Packie Lightly hazy light gold color with a bubbly white head that slowly recedes. Solid bready maltiness. Citrus earthy tropical hop aroma and flavor. Pretty decent brew.

Very hazy golden coloured body with a two to three centimetre tall just off-white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of grass, hay, light resin and a touch of very mild citrus fruits, all with some alcohol noticeable, but fairly mild in aroma, especially for the style. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich malt and grainy flavours at first that show some yeast and more wheatie components, but the alcohol and light astringency ramp up and then lead into the lighter, but still noticeable hop characteristics which veer from floral to grassy and then finish with the faintest bit of citrus. Aftertaste shows the herbs and dry malts more than anything, but some softer fruit also comes through along with some pepper at the very end. Overall, an interesting amalgamation between a plain-jane East Coast IPA mixed with an Imperial IPA and then with an unfiltered and 'theoretically' resinous and very hop bite that never develop, and leave the finish very dry and not exciting. Overall, a nice beer with a lot of pungencies at first that settles nicely and is robust throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 23-June-2019 for US$3,99 sampled this at home in Washington on 01-October-2019.

Can, from City Hops. Pours extremely hazy orange with large foamy off-white head, orange-pineapple aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter orange peel-grapefruit taste, somewhat thick body, long finish. Nice NEIPA.

Draft taster pour at Powder Keg Beer and Chili Festival. Appearance is cloudy, opaque, milky yellow with no discernible sparkle, finger-width white, foamy head with excellent retention. Aroma is strong fruit/overripe fruit, herbal with light funk. Taste is bold herb, citrus, fruit, tart fruit and malt backbone. Palate is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, not my favorite flavor but high marks complexity. Interesting and decent.

Can split at L6, thanks to Leighton, 20/08/18. Hazed golden orange with a decent egg shell white head. Nose is pineapple, grass, pine resin, citric tinged straw. Taste comprises grapefruit, pine, orange peel, melon, toasted malts, light caramel, citric pith. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with lightly aggressive hop bitterness. Ok DIPA with an old skool leaning.

Level 6 Bottleshare. Big thanks to Leighton for the can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth, mildly dry, modest fine carbonation. Smooth malts, sweet. Little ripe orange and mild pine. Smooth finish. Slighty lame.

Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming and resinous finish, more bready pale malts, hay, rind, orange, pine. Pretty solid.

16 oz can. The golden color with soapy white head in a snifter. Aroma is mild fruit, caramel, unfermented sugar. Yes, the flavor has yeast that didn't have time to develop. Comes with a saccharine or artificial sweetener in the finish. Sorry for the folks this is a bit under attenuated. Needs some work.
