New England IPA brewed with Nelson Sauvin Hops
A juicy beer that opens with big fruity notes on the nose and follows with the tropical linger of Nelson Sauvin hops.

16 oz can. A fully hazy yellow pour with a white head. Tropical pineapple, mango aroma with orange. Flavor has orange and grapefruit matched up with the tropical mango and pineapple. Very ripe fruit flavors, maybe even a bit too much. Still now bad.

Ridiculously hazy golden and even light orange coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall rich tan and light beige coloured head above the 95 per cent opaque body on top of that glowing orange tinted body. Aroma of pure grapefruit juice with some oranges here, a light deal of oats and mild wheat, but if you had your eyes closed, you'd swear that this is fresh grapefruit juice - nice in the nose! Medium-bodied; Strong grapefruity and citrusey, orangey flavours dominate at first with a light dose of sweetness and a nice malt characteristic from easy-drinking wheat along with a light hint of dryness, but the bitterness of the alpha acids from the hops and the bitterness from the grapefruit flavours are by far the strongest. Aftertaste is rich, very citrusey, quite crisp and dry with a good malt backbone that is super easy-drinking, but bitter throughout and very enjoyable. Overall, this is much better than I expected and a pure grapefruit bomb, in a great way. I don't even like grapefruit juice (it's too bitter to me), but this one holds the line well and balances things out very nicely, while providing some good sweetness, a smooth malt backbone and a ton of grapefruity hops - very nice throughout! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Kroger in Detroit (Utica, 23 Mild Road), Michigan on 18-April-2023 for US$10,99/six pack sampled in my hotel room here a day later in Utica, Michigan on 19-April-2023.
