Can at home. Hazy pale yellow color, white head. Aroma and flavor are lightly malts, nicely hoppy, light green hop notes, decently hoppy bitter. Alright.

Can taster pour at Mass Brewfest. Cloudy, dark yellow, ring of head. Aroma is strong, grapefruit and citrus. Taste is strong, grapefruit and citrus late cracker and yeast. Smooth texture, average carbonation, finish as taste. True to style.

Pours a very hazy, light yellow-orange, with smallish head. Aromas of citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is citrus, with some pine/spruce hops in the background. Slight sweetness. Soft mouthfeel. Not bad.

Can thanks to Rainer. Pours a cloudy yellow gold with medium white head. The aroma is butter, melon, earth. Medium body, similar flavors to nose, dusty finish, decent.

Draught at Europa Black Rock, 5/27/17.
Thoroughly hazy-to-soupy, bright beeswax-bronze with a large, well-retained, white head atop. Quintessential NE IPA appearance.
The nose is a bouquet of tropical fruits and light honey-like malts with a touch of biscuit and cracker. Adding to the guava-mango-juicy pineapple is a more dry, classic, slightly acidic citrus character which contributes lime zest, and tangy orange and a bit more balance, overall. As much as I love the straight tropical juice bombs, they can be a bit overpowering and "sweet" from the lack of acidity that the more citrusy hops provide. Clean as a whistle, with no alcohol noted nor any yeast blandness or resin.
Pillowy soft, comforting malts show light honey and biscuit and high attenuation and engaging, moderate carbonation keeps it drinkable and crisp on the finish. Tons of meyer lemon, over-ripe pineapple, mango and lime lead to an exuberant, bright, juicy hop character quite devoid of any pine or other potentially resinous notes. There’s still a brace of good bitterness on the end, helping to balance and the beer is clean and shows no alcohol. Straightforward NE IPA, though I like the dose of lime-orange-lemon on the finish. Very, very well-executed/brewed. Awesome. Instantly a fan. Incredibly high quality for how young this brewery is. So much potential here (though it’s already delicious).
