Pretty hazy golden coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of rich oranges, mangoes, papaya and some mango with a lot of sugars here and some lactose noticeable as well in the nose. Medium-bodied; Strong rich orange and papaya notes with a lot of wheat and oaty notes as the malt backbone here that supports the rich sugars and fruit elements along with a dash of light bitterness coming through the cracks. Aftertaste shows some light alpha acid bitterness with a lot of wheat and oat maltiness along with a pretty big kick of tangerines, mangoes, grapefruit and even some stone fruits like apricots, but the papaya and guava richness really sticks out here. Overall, a very nice, super fruity, but incredibly balanced New England IPA from New England - a very good example of the style and well worth trying to find, if you can! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 26-November-2022 sampled on 13-January-2023 while here in New York, New York with my family.

5-oz. pour on tap at The Grill Next Door, Haverhill. Appearance is opaque dark yellow with no sparkle, finger-width foamy white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is really nice grapefruit and pine bordering on musky arm pit (though not in a bad way). Taste is sweet melon, grape with grapefruit and pine and a hint of herb. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thick, frothy texture, soft carbonation and dry, mostly bitter finish. Overall, strong all around.

Pours a hazy, golden-banana yellow, with lasting, mid-sized head. Aroma has some cheese, some onion, tropical fruit, some citrus. Flavor is rather bitter up front, with citrus and tropical fruit, a touch of cheese and onion toward the finish. Has a fairly bitter, pine-spruce hop quality to the finish.
