16 ounce prowler into tulip glass, filled on 9/28/2019. Pours completely opaquely hazy bright green color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly chalky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming 7.2%, mild lingering hop burn after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic NEIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink, despite the increasingly bitter/resinous/drying finish; nicely soft/silky feel. Fantastic Amarillo, Citra, and Mosaic profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a nice sized wheat/oat/malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example as expected. Just wish the lingering hop burn/resins were lower.

The Aromas are Citrus, mango and pale malt. Flavors are like nose, some resin, very lightly sweet, low bitter, good carbonation and body with a nice finish. Very drinkable

16 ounce can from Discount Liquor Waukesha. Way too fucking expensive @ 5.59 for one can. Murky pale orange nearly no head. Looks sickly. Aroma of pale malt, almost doughy, herbal and earthy hops with a bit of tropical fruit. Taste is earthy hops, tropical fruit, pale malt. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness. Not bad, but not great. Disappointing from an otherwise amazing brewery.

Pours a hazy, yellow-gold, with minimal head. Dank aroma, with elements of tropical and citrus fruit, some onion, some gasoline. Flavor is pretty in-your-face-bitter from the get-go, with tropical and citrus fruit, and bitter pine/spruce hops in the finish. Too bitter to really pull off the NE-style IPA.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy light orange with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has tropical fruits and a bit of sweet citrus with a hint of grass and sweet grains underlying. Flavor has tropical fruits and sweet citrus with a sweet grain backbone.
