Bottle, mail order from the brewery. Very rich, fruity nose, peaches, orange, tropical fruit like mango and guava, and a touch of passion fruit. rich, lovely nose. Slightly hazy golden orange, glowing, with a medium, fine head. Rich NE style juicy, fruity flavor, but no thick wheatiness. Wow, this is fresh and really good. Nice resiny, peppery hop bitterness makes it not completely NE style. It's crisp but not really light, with a medium or fuller body, and pretty drinkable. The nice bitter finish works well. Very nice. Quite satisfying for 4.5%.
