Simcoe and Mosaic hops balance each other to make this juicy IPA explosively fruit forward in both taste and aroma while curbing any unbearable sweetness to make an extremely drinkable beer. The huge mouth feel ensures all of your tastebuds are enveloped in a blanket of tropical bliss, paradise in a can.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: golden yellow color and transparent with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy and tropical fruity hop tones up front with a clean cracker malt base
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fair bittersweet mixture while having a fine finish of citrusy and tropical hoppy tones
Texture: between light and medium bodied, sessionable; fairly mobile on the tongue but not necessarily the true smoothness I was looking for.
Overall: I don't believe this is a New England styled IPA, did I have the wrong one? To be honest, this isn't bad for what it is, maybe more like an AIPA perhaps.

A really tasty Nor'Easter. Peaches, kiwi, lemon, pineapple and a touch of soapiness. Refreshing and juicy

For me, it was an enjoyable experience with this ipa, rather on the way of a white ipa. This one is well balanced, solid bitterness, dry malt, citrus, fruity with sparkling note, dominant hop, grapefruit, perfect at night, 16.05.22, at Epalinges.

I have a one pint can coming to me from the only legit beer shop in town. Another interesting label from Collective Arts, they do that well. My Cowtown snifter pulls duty this early evening, lift the tab on the shiny can and pour. Indistinct yellow-gold body finished by a healthy head of absolutely white foam. I smell oranges, tropical fruit and a hint of hops. Time now for a taste. Grapefruit mostly, pine, some tangerine, crackers, all with a malt backbone. More bitter than sweet and fairly dry. After going to a really good minor league baseball game with a long-time friend last night, I call this beer a slow pitch over the middle of the plate.

Can from the lcbo. Hazy yellow pour, with a large white head. Aroma is laced with tropical fruit, lots of citrus and solid amount of stone fruit. Soft carb, soft mouth feel. Strong stone fruit finish, with a citrus peel kick.
