Far away across the field there is a hazy golden IIPA bursting with sweet orange juice and apricot aroma, tinged with a tropical twist, that will take you home home again.

Super hazy and muddied raw honey gold and rich orange coloured body that looks more like pulpy orange juice than anything else, with a very thin, soapy, single centimetre tall tan head that fades fast. Aroma of alcohol, citrus, astringent hops, oranges, grass, flowers, peach candy and some light malts - quite strong in the nose. Medium to almost Full-bodied; Very rich and chewy body at first with a pungent peppery and floral characteristic at first that hits hard and strong and leaves a little candy sweetness towards the end with a grassy and floral bite, but the citrus fruits and mangoes/melons are evident at the very end. Aftertaste is dry, floral, slightly hoppy with a touch of bitterness and a peppery, but pungent full-bodied and sweet finish - very complex, especially for the style. Overall, a very nice and well-rounded, complex, New England Imperial IPA that hides the alcohol well, but has a rich profile that is enjoyable and well-recommended - if you can find it, drink it right away! I sampled this, sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 24-October-2020 for US$6,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 09-November-2020.

Hazy peachy-golden pour with a thin white head. Notes of tropical fruit, lime, mandarin oranges, some melon. Juicy stuff, tons of fruit and a subtle but nice amount of bitterness.
