Very hazy gold beer, big fluffy pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and dry, lots of carbonation, over carbonated to be straight. Thin creamy malts, mild to medium sweetness. Tangy citrus, touches of spice and pine. Dry crisp finish. Yeah too fluffy and tangy.

Bottled. Huge thanks Vran! Murky yellow body, white head. Dry, dusty aroma, vague citrus, some oxidised maltiness perhaps. The taste is very soft, quite nice too, light apricot, vague citrus, but so, so subdued. Seems this wasn't sold fresh either, but showed some potential. Hope to rerate it ASAP. Raising the overall slightly.

Pours a hazy amber from a can. Big citrus/grapefruit aroma with a bit of dank pine, similar flavor. Pretty good beer.

hazy golden colour, huge, dense and quite stable off-white head; aroma of pineapple juice, mango, passionfruit, slight peach and marmalade, as well as biscuity notes; perfectly balanced bittersweet taste with overripe sweet tropical fruits like pineapple, mango, maybe passionfruit, too, hints of peach and tangerine, as well as biscuits; spicy alcoholic (and slightly peppery) aftertaste; amazing IPA!

Lightly hazy golden copper with a white head. Bright tropical citrus fruit, light juice, mango, peach, lightly backed by malt sweetness. Medium bodied. Finish has a medium bitter hop bite under sharp tropical fruitiness. Very nice IPA.

Bottle. Hazy orange color with eggshell head. Aroma is a bit sweaty, mango, grapefruit, but also classic piney flavours with toasted malts. Taste is mango, grapefruit, papaya, peach, some bready malts. A bit mineralic finish. Medium bitterness. Silky mouthfeel. Tasty, it’s a nice mixture between modern hazyness and old school pineyness!

330ml bottle. Extremely hazy, orangey golden colour with average to huge, frothy, slowly diminishing, minimalyl lacing, white head. Tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of passion fruit, mango, papaya, pineapple, caramel malty background. Taste is bitter and tropical fruity hoppy, again notes of passion fruit, mango, papaya, pineapple in minimally diluted fashion, minimally sweet, caramel malty basis. Crisp, juicy, fruity - excellent. Northeast style IPA = New England IPA? NEIPA either way.

6 pack enjoyed over the last several weeks. It was amazing at peak freshness. It’s equally amazing without. Quite an impressive IPA here. Much thanks to mcberko for bringing this down during your last visit. This is one of those IPA’s that when it’s only available in 6 packs, I have no complaints. A complete standout from it’s local IPA competition, at least as far as I’ve tried. A shiny golden pour with a ton of foam head and lacing. A juicy tropical fruit aroma to it. Very nice. Flavor is a bit on the tropical juicy side as well, a little more on the sharp side. Slight cream underneath. Soft oat impressions. Very pleasant IPA here. I’d take a six pack of this any time.
