An ale with hop aromas of tropical papaya and kiwi with woodsy pine, balanced by honey malt and a clean bitter finish.

On Tap. Pour is a clear golden color with an average white head. Aroma is of tropical fruits and citrus notes. Flavor is mildly bitter with piney hops and pale malts. Pretty much a standard sesson IPA.

Sample at the tap room. The beer pours a clear pale amber color with a medium thin white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of fruit, hops and bready malt. Light-bodied with flavors of mildly bitter piney hops, fruit and doughy malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short grassy hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

12oz bottle. I’m not getting much papaya. There is some pronounced bitterness, also some earthiness...the honey malts sort of smooth the earthiness out. Kind of soap, astringent. Boldly bitterly hopped but not that enjoyable overall.

Olfactif: Épines de sapin avec soupçon de fruits tropicaux (fruit de la passion, mangue, ananas) qui se développent graduellement en intensité. Visuel: Dorée, très claire et effervescente. Mousse moyenne, dense et de bonne tenue. Gustatif: Aiguilles de sapin et effervescence forment les caractéristiques de l’attaque avec une longue finale résineuse qui traine à l’arrière de la langue. Les fruits tropicaux sont beaucoup plus discrets en bouche et laissent toute la place à la résine. La texture est mince. Le corps est aqueux. À l’olfactif, ça s’annonçait prometteur. Mais, la déception était au rendez-vous. Pas mauvaise, mais très ordinaire.

New Beer Distributors, NYC bottle ($2.25): Pours copper with white head. Aroma is tropical fruit and pine. Taste is rather on the bitter and full side for a session IPA. Basically, this is way more like an IPA than are many beers that fall into the style. Piney bitterness pervades the finish. Pretty good.
