Tap. Worthy Burger, South Royalton, VT. So this was at the end of a long day, and I’m trying to recollect how it was. I’m struggling. I’m guessing juicy and pale. Dunno. I enjoyed it. Went a treat with a chicken burger. The fries in there ate grate.

Can sample at a tasting at Lior D's place. Thanks kerenmk. Murky yellow. Fruity oniony hops, sweetish, green bitterness.

Flight pour on draft at The Grill Next Door. Appearance is cloudy, grapefruit-juice look with no discernible sparkle, foamy ring of beige head with decent soapy lacing. Aroma is grapefruit, citrus, milder tropical fruit. Taste is grapefruit, citrus, light pine. Palate is medium bodied with thick, frothy texture, lively carbonation and dry finish as taste. Overall, a nice, juicy brew but more of a grapefruity bent so not overly sweet.

16 oz. can. Purchased at Ball Square Fine Wine, Somerville. (All the IPA's look the same these days) Aroma is grapefruit, mango, peach, and baked white bread. Fresh aroma. Flavor is mildly juicy, with bread and wheat notes. Bitterness is low with good amount of juice. Dry texture. Good overall but I wish it tasted like it smelled.

On tap at the brewery Maldon Boston .Turbid pale gold colour lasting white head. Some Neipa character some OK hop and fruit juice it's fine. Just not jumping out on me. OK.

Pours murky pale peach into a shaker. Bright white soapy head recedes leaving gloppy spiders. Dry peach and apricot aromas. Sweet with marshmallow and apricot upfront turning to peach before dusty peach skin in the medium length finish.

Draughts at a number of beer bars around Boston, Spring 2017.
Absolute chicken soup appearance. Love it. White head atop is small and shows moderate retention.
Beautifully juicy nose checks all the NE IPA boxes. Mango, pineapple, juicy lime and biscuity, crackery malt and wheat behind it with light amounts of honey, no resin or heavily citric/piney hops and no alcohol or flaw. Very aromatic with fresh house yeast character and juice for days.
In the mouth it’s equally juicy and incredibly soft in texture with low but engaging carbonation. Tastes like a spritzy-carbonated, lightly alcoholic juice product. I love it. Mango, lime, kiwi, red grapefruit and honey with ultra-soft wheat and malt textures, gentle bitterness and a massive drinkability. Good attenuation, as well with no alcohol noted. They nailed the style.
