Higher and higher, hops reach for sun, filling with citrusy and tropical flavor. Hop Reach IPA blooms with these lush hop notes, making for a beer that's both full-bodied and refreshing.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours translucent gold with a huge creamy white head that turned foamy and laced a little. Aroma is tropical with citrus. Med body. It's juicy but towards dry. Moderately bitter. Flavor is citrus, melon and passionfruit. Arguably some pomelo zest. Good IPA.

A decent IPA from a brewery I don’t want IPAs from. Notes of passion fruit, grapefruit zest, and pine, with a modest bitterness in the finish and lingering citrus oil on the fade. Eh. Do something different, Allagash.

12 oz can shared at Paragon, 2/9/23. Yellow color, white head. Pine and citrus. Clean and pretty good. Drinks lighter bodied than the ABV would suggest. Guessing, I'd have had this in the Session IPA range.

Kind of disappointing. Not so much because it isn't a great IPA. More because Allagash feel so pressured by the market to make something like this. Light grapefruit. Some citrus. Decent balance, just boring. Light bitter end. Can.
