Very hazy, super straw yellow looking body with a pretty thick, four to five centimetre tall creamy tan head that stays atop for a very long time atop of the 90 per cent, but still effervescent gold body. Aroma of grass, hay, flowers, grapes, white wine, tropical fruits and even a bit of candy - the nose is very nice and seemingly super complex, with enough malt here to be noticeable, too. Medium-bodied; Crisp, citrusey and grassy flavours show at first with a lot of pungency and bitterness, in a good way, with bitterness, dry and almost saison-y flavours coming through, with no sweetness at all, and only a touch of alcohol on the very end. Aftertaste is dry, but enjoyable, definitely closer to a West Coast IPA than anything else with limited malts, a lot of bitterness and dryness, no sugars and some dankness here, too. Overall, a nice, dry, grassy, floral and herbal beer that I wasn't really expecting, from New England and Unfiltered, but this was FAR removed from a New England IPA in a nice way. Great to sample and I'll be looking for more from this brewery the next time I'm up in the area - as this was nice! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the GlenRo Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 05-September-2022 for US$3,49 with the tagline 'Mythical Taste' on the bottom of the can, canned on 14-April-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 08-October-2022.

DC Share. Poured a very hazy, orange color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was big creamy orange, tropical fruits. Pleasant orange, with a hoppy tang and green onion.

From Matt: pours hazy with a white head. Aroma is hefty tropical nelson vibes. Taste is some bitterness, some sweetness, tangy hoppy aftertaste. Some grass.

Huge Nelson, and I'm a sucker for that. A fair amount of green onion on finish, which detracts a little from my enjoyment. Murky yellow pour with ok head.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from the source. Appearance is deeply hazy (visible floaties present) orange with greenish tinge at edges of glass, minimal sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with poor retention and fair leggy lacing. Aroma is tropical fruit, white grape, an almost acetone-like quality (not unpleasant, but somewhat astringent). Taste is grape, light musk and tropical fruit with a pleasant citrus and almost metallic bitterness. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with silky smooth texture, soft-to-average carbonation, a bitterness I can feel in my back teeth, an alcohol warmth in the esophagus and dry, bittersweet finish. Overall, not the greatest appearance but intrigue in the aroma, flavor and palate.
