Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy burnt orange haziness with a finger's worth of white frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapple-y to papaya to grapefruity hops with a keen hop note of pine with herbal and light hop spice; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a herbal sweet to tropical fruity hoppy/malty sweet quality; finishes semi-juicy through a balanced piney to papaya/grapefruity hop tone
Texture: light to medium bodied, semi-sessionable; good smoothness; good low carb; good low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: a very nicely done NEIPA worth coming back to.

Nice hazy. Bright citrus and tropical fruit purée, mellow rindy bitterness, some oat, pale bread, mango, orange, papaya. Decent balance to finish, low bitterness.

64 oz growler filled at the source less then a day ago. Thank you AdamChandler. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is super dank; grassy, hay, lemony, herbal, citrus and fresh!
Taste is a bit sweeter, dank, spicy, massive grassy bitterness. Also a mild tropical fruit character. Bitterness is moderate with soft mouthfeel. Very nice!

64 ounce growler filled yesterday. Looks like an orange whip. hazy orange light in color. 2 finger off-white head. This smells damn good. Orange whip paired with tropical fruits. wow man. Flavor is similar. It’s extremely soft with a lot of carb up from but fades at the end. You get tangerine skin and orange juice along with mango. it’s slightly sweet and spicy in the lingering finish.

Draught at the brewery, 5/21/16.
A nice, rich, copper-orange glass of soup with a small but firm white head atop.
Yep, this is the stuff! Juice galore with a lovely, fresh yeast adding light minerality and esters, with cracker-like maltiness in the background. Pear, guava, mango and dry pineapple, with only a touch of grapefruit and no pine or resin. No alcohol or flaw.
Dry but with tight carbonation and high attenuation being offset by a malty texture and light rye chewiness. Pineapple and mango with softer guava and tangerine notes. Fantastically juicy with low but still ample bitterness. Lots of minerals, plaster and light earth show a charming yeast and water, as well. No alcohol or flaw. Another top-notch, wonderfully flavorful NE IPA!
