New England style IPA brewed with Buddha’s Hand fruit and dry hopped with Mosaic, Citra, and Lemondrop hops. Left unfiltered, it has a hazy golden appearance and a delicate citrus nose. The Buddha’s Hand fruit lends big citrus notes complimented by the Citra and Lemondrop hops. Not overly sweet and not overly bitter, this is an extremely balanced, smooth and refreshing double IPA.

12 oz bottle from Buy Rite. Pours a hazy golden-orange, frothy beige head. Heavy on the lacing. Aroma is fruity. Sweet, fruity hop flavor. Bit of candied sugar. Medium bodied, soft feel, slightly sticky on the mouth. Could use a bit of a balancing bitterness or at least a tone down of the candied sweetness, but it's still pretty solid.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a cloudy pale gold with a large rocky white head. Faint citrus nose. Intense bittersweet fruity malt flavor upfront. Notes of grapefruit and overripe mango. Some warming alcohol. Sweet citrus hops in finish. Needs more cowbell!

Tap at stags head. Hazy yellowish orange. Nose is buddah hand, lemon candy. Taste of lemon candies, melon, buddah hand, bitter citrus peel, some plastic, bind of burnt sugar. Odd palate can’t place. Dry finish lingering lemon.
