Canned 3/28/24, drunk 4/29/24. Moderately hazy, brass-golden-bronze. Large, white, well-retained head. Lots of tropical fruit mixing with spice and citrus. Complex, bright, with generous acidity (no resin, punch) and supportive malt in the form of honey and cracker-like character. Clean, not boozey. Great stone fruit character with a pinch of pineapple and good minerality. Bright, hoppy, amply bitter. Malty and dry with lingering spice, bits of lemon and lemongrass and substantial bitterness. Definitely not your average New England IPA (or rather, IPA from New England) and pretty surprising how much acidity there still is in this at a month old. That said, the malt is fantastically deep here and balances quite well. Maybe a bit too heavy on the pineapple and lemon rind, but otherwise fantastic stuff.

Draught @ Coalhouse Pizza, Stamford (Jan 2024). Extremely hazy dark yellow like apricot juice, small foamy off-white head, pineapple-mango aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter pineapple-citrus peel-mango taste, thin body, long citrus peel finish. Decent NEIPA.

Aroma of grapefruit, sweet malt. Taste has sweet tropical notes, mild pine resin. Palate has some more grapefruit, mild fig, sweet orange. Good.

16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. No can date. Flavor of bolder pineapple, lime, citrus peel. Assertive bitterness in a citrus peel kind of way. It does balance the sweeter tropical fruit hints. ABV is masked. Wish I knew how old it was. Either way, well made.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from the brewery. Appearance is heavily hazy orange-yellow with light sparkle, massive 3-finger width rocky, foamy, white head (couldn't pour whole can into glass) with good retention and fair leggy lacing. Aroma is strong with initial dominant pine over milder citrus, tropical fruits and herb, though pine dominance fades and herbal and fruit qualities rise as it warms. Taste is strong musky herb dominating sweeter stone and tropical fruits along with candied sugar, with late citrus component. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with fairly dry, pleasant mildly bitter finale. Overall, quite strong all around. Nice complexity and boldness of aromas and flavors. Well done!

Got in a trade with brutalfarce. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned in 11/2018. Pours very hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Dense spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Slight lingering resins. Minimal warming alcohol for 8%. Overall this is an amazing NEDIPA! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; extremely smooth and easy to drink for the ABV with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Amazingly soft feel. Feels like a lot of Mosaic, Galaxy, Motueka. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and lightly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A highly amazing offering, and top tier/spot on style example.
