Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: thick murky orange color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: tangerines, mangoes and melon sweet hop notes tangle with a clean malt base
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas together with a nicely done bittersweet juicy quality; finishes clean with the mangoes and melons
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness but a touch of some hop assertiveness; carb level is low-ish but part of me wonders if it could be lowered just a wee bit more, hmmmm....
Overall: this beer cleans up on the aromas and flavors and part of me thinks the texture could be slightly tweaked a little bit. I'd still come back to.

Keg at Great Lost Bear - Portland. Pours lately hazy gold with a tight, creamy white head. The nose holds pithy citrus, tangerine, melon. Light sweet flavourbwith rindy citrus character, orange and tangerine, melon, nips of pine. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Pithy-rindy finish, more citrus fruits, mellow piney bitterness. Nicely rounded IPA.

4 oz. draft at Maine Beer Cafe, Kittery. Another hazy yellow appearance, small whispers of head. Weak citrus, a touch of tropical fruit. Flavor has a bready / toast malt backbone. The body and texture seems pretty thin. Mouthfeel is borderline watery. It started nice but falls a bit flat in the finale.

Tap at RnH west prior to Mummy sneak preview. Cloudy dirty orange pour. Nose is bigbfruit juice. Tastes of apricot, herbal, clementines, light spruce and bug spray. Light bitterness and clean palate. Interesting brew

Draft at RnH, West, 6/2/17. Fully hazed orange pour that looks like it's from the region it's from. Thick foamy head. The aroma is orange juice and apricot over some other fruity hops. Tastes of juicy hops as well with a light bitterness. Smooth feel. Enough dryness on the close to keep it from being too sticky. On first impression, I thought I was going to get another of the many NE IPAs out there, but this is more interesting than that. Really good stuff.
