Tropical, smooth, fruity. Slight bitterness on the end, well balanced with a light floral aftertaste. Also first from this brewery for me, will have again!

Very hazy golden coloured body with a beautiful raw honey glow and a thick, three to four centimetre tall tan head that stays up nicely. Aroma of pungent fruits - tangerines, kumquats, mangoes, kiwi and even a dash of bitter grapefruit, all with a malt note and some flowers toward the finish. Medium to Full-bodied; Very strong chewy malt at first with a heavy bite of tropical and especially citrus fruits that all show nicely and provide a sweet, but complex and filling taste. Aftertaste is rich, very fruity, slightly pungent with a touch of bitterness from the hops and a little alcohol note towards the end, but very juicy, slightly floral, all with a great balance of malt and still very easy-drinking, somehow. Overall, a great, simple drinking yet complex, sweet yet bitter and fruity yet floral New England IPA - when I drink a 'new school' IPA, this is what I'd expect to be getting in the package. This one was great to try, especially super fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 18-September-2020 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington, just a few minutes later on 18-September-2020.
