A New England IPA brewed with Belgian yeast. Hoptimistic is aggressively late hopped with Ekuanot and left hazy to become the unfiltered juice bomb NE IPAs are known for. A full bodied haze with aromas of melon, berry, and papaya with a traditional Belgian spin, providing a spicy, peppery balance.

Pours dark gold with modest foam, smells of vague rotting vegetable. Flavour is chunky malt and cardboardy hops, makes it all very paperish. Mouthfeel is a little cloying, some rotting vegetable aftertaste. This isn't delivering what's promised, there is too much semi-rancid malt and not enough of anything else.
