Pours a lovely hazy straw from a can. Nice fruity dank aroma, similar flavor, some mint notes, wonderful hop specimens. Pretty good beer.

Draught @ Tørst, Brooklyn. Smooth, malty and crisp hoppy with some tropical notes, juicy fruits, citrus and pine. Pretty nicely balanced.

Pours a hazy, banana yellow, with a mid-sized, lasting head (this looks just about perfect, as far as NEIPAs go). Aroma is a bit chalky, grassy, with some citrus, some pine/spruce hops. Flavor is also a bit on the chalky side, with a slight sweetness, loads of citrus flavor, and some hop bitterness to the finish. Good, but Top 50 good?

Tap at The Farmhouse Burlington. Slightly hazy dark yellow with a good sized long lasting head. Rich earthy citrusy grapefruit and pine with bits of sweet bread to counter. Very tasty clean well made brew.

Draft at Harbor Bar. Murky yellow-orange, frothy head, lots of lace. Nice, juicy hop aroma. Grapefruit and resin. Pineapple. Clean, juicy, and mid-bitter. Really tasty.

Draught @ The Jeffrey. Hazy, almost millky beight yellow with small frothy whitish head, very faint dusty citrus peel aroma, medium carbonation, lightly bitter taste with pineaple, and bit of grapefruit, smooth body, longish medium bitter finish. Very very smooth and deceptively easy to drink.

750ml growler (thx, Jonathan J.!). Growlered on 2016-04-01. Pours a cloudy blond with a white head. Aroma is dank, tropical fruits. Taste is similar. This one is quite similar to the beers which Twin Sails, Boombox or Superflux brew in BC. Maybe it is just a little bit better balanced than the beers of the mentioned breweries, which is not a surprise taking into account for how long HF brews this. It is definitely not something from the next level of brewing, since, for example, Superflux Colour and Shape b1 and b4 maybe taste even better.
