16 oz. can. Date of can: Feb 2020. Aroma is weak citrus, mild herbal. Flavor has the weak citrus, weak herbal, with the addition of weak florals. Oat chewy texture. Been years since I had a Sam Adams brew. I now remember why.

Grass, caramel, lilly nose. Cloudy orange, medium head. Grass, lilly, and caramel. Full body, moderate carbonation. Not nearly as good as the NEIPA, but a solid offering from Boston Beer.

Drank most of a six pack watching football opening weekend. Like to have Sam Adams to support my Patriots to start season. Hazy orange yellow foamy head. Nose is tropical fruit and some spice. Tastes of pineapple, orange juice, vegetal notes, some pepper, green hops. Chewy mouthfeel.

12 ounce can into perfect pint glass, best before 4/2019. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy deep golden amber color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, strawberry, blueberry, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, strawberry, blueberry, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, berries, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and no astringent hop flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Slight lingering resins/rinds through the glass. Zero warming alcohol for 5.5%. Overall this is a delicious NEAPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish; great soft feel. Great Mandarina Bavaria, Hallertau Blanc, Huell Melon, Mosaic, Citra profile. Very juicy and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a great balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Was getting a bit of a stale wheat note in there, but considering the BB date, I won't complain about it.

Pours hazy amber with a very thick white head. Heavy resinous and fruit aroma. Taste is malty with slight tropical fruits. Palate has guava and mango notes, additional to the hop resin. Good.

Very crowd-pleasing approach to the style, with a nice burst of grapefruit, passion fruit, and lemon zest on the front before settling into a crackery, mild back end. Nothing memorable, except that it’s another stab at hazy beer coming from Sam Adams. At least it’s refined, which is more than can be said of most NEIPAs.

12 oz can from a six pack. Aroma is passionfruit, grain, strawberry, orange. Pours murky yellow with a thick off-white head with excellent retention. Taste is a little sweet, lightly bitter, a bit grainy, fruity flavors of the aroma. A bit old tasting, although it's not due to expire till next month, which is about a week away. It's not bad and I'm giving it a little bit of the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure it's much better fresh.
