Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: pale yellow/orange cardboard haziness with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: piney, peachy, smooth citrusy and floral hop notes play with a nice gentle smooth clean malt bill
Flavor: copies the aromas pretty spot on to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes semi-peachy and slightly piney
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; pertty darn smooth along the tongue with a nice juiciness to it
Overall: boy oh boy, Resilience certainly knows their way around doing the NEIPA style!

Can pour from The Beer Store, Salem. It's a cloudy dark yellow-light brown with finger-width head with poor retention and trace lacing. Aroma is citrus, florals and bread. Taste is citrus, bitter mild pine and bread. Mouthfeel is smooth, frothy, average carbonation and crisp finish as taste with lingering mild bitterness. Not real distinct flavor but a decent pale ale and well made.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving scant sheets to skim surface. Dusty grain and lemon joy aromas. Spritzy with lemon joy, mango skin and tangerine peel front to back and into the soapy citrus finish.

16 oz. can. Finally tracked this down after years. Aroma is cracker malt, orange, tangerine. Flavor is dry citrus fruits, cracker malt, citrus zest. Soft pine. Light bodied, crisp dry texture. High end as always from this brewery.

Draught at the brewery, 6/22/18 and a 4 pack of cans drunk over the next month.
Heavily hazy, peachy-apricot golden with a small but firm, white head atop.
Nose is juicy and somewhat yeasty, with tons of melon, soft yellow fruits and bubble gum. Bits of cracker and light biscuit sit behind it with just a touch of caramel. No alcohol or flaw. Lots of strawberry, mineral and moderate white wine and low on the Mosaic, with little/no pine and no resin.
In the mouth it's soft, quite dry, with nutty yeast and light dough mixing with strawberry, biscuit, cracker, grapefruit and light mineral. Good amount of juiciness, though it's not a huge amount, with a bit more yeast character (both ester and actual yeast in suspension). As with some of their other new IPAs, they feel a bit messy. Still, it's clean, not boozy and the hops demonstrate no resin or any problem. Low but engaging carbonation.

On tap at Schilling Beer Co, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out floral hops and soft biscuity malt. Flavour is bursting with piney and floral hops upfront, with a crisp biscuity malt base. Nice expression on the hops. Much more interesting and bold than the usual APA.

Looks like orange juice. Smells like orange juice. Tastes like a tangerine and orange combo. Note: these new england IPAs all taste the same. No sense in trying to extract anything from them beyond OJ).

Crowler from the source review from notes, sampled a day after filling. Slightly hazy light golden color with a bubbly white head that persists. Loads of earthy pine and citrus with bits of peach and mango and some spicy peppery phenols. Pretty tasty beer, but I tasted some yeasty phenol character that would have been more at home in a Belgian Pale or a hoppy Wit.
