Pours hazy orange with a thin frothy head. Aroma of orange, grapefruit, tangerine. Taste has tangy orange, soft malt, hints of pine. Palate has more citrus, pine, orange juice on the tongue. Soft hops. Good.

Smell of mango, overripe fruit, some spruce. Opaque orange colour, white head. Aroma of overripe fruit, earth. Some generic hoppiness. Fruit dominates. Slightly boozy. Sweet, medium bitter.

On tap at the New England Taphouse Grille. Hazy just shy of gold in color with a thin bubbly white head by the time it got to the table. Earthy citrus and tropical notes with some sweet bready malt to back it up. Pretty tasty.

Fairly hazy, straw golden and raw honey coloured body with some orange haze - about 85% opaque, with a thin one centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, resin, light pine, some mangoes and a touch more of the tropical fruits. Medium-bodied; Strong rich fruity flavours dominate with the grapefruit, lemons, full oranges, mangoes and even a little thick papaya note towards the end, with a good level of sweetness, but still showing the hop bitterness, while still sitting on top of a nice malt backbone. Aftertaste is robust, fairly complex and quite bitter, with the resin, grapefruit and light floral notes hitting the hardest and leaving some sweetness on the outside. Overall, a pretty nice New England IPA, really made in New England! Good on the citrus, juiciness, haze and other fruit flavours, while not sacrificing the hop bitterness, malts or pungency. Great to try fresh, and recommended for lovers of the style or any IPAs altogether! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 28-April-2020 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 17-May-2020.

From a 473ml can on 9/5/2020. Pours a hazy medium golden with a small head. The nose is modest, a bit fruit and dank. Tastes of orange with a little apricot with a slightly chalky, lingering bitterness with a hint of peel. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Quaffable enough but ultimately a middle of the road effort which is not particularly memorable.
