Can (best by 6/28/22--canned 12/28/21?) pour from City Spirits, Attleboro. It's a lightly hazy amber-orange with mild sparkle, 2-finger width rocky foam off-white head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong pine and milder citrus with bread in background. Taste is sweet pine and citrus. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation and crisp finish as taste with mild bitterness at very tail end. Overall, a pretty old school IPA. I'd love to see this base made into a Black IPA.

Can from tfontana thanks for the opportunity Mostly clear dark gold in color with a frothy white head that slowly dissipates. Resinous pine and thin bready malt with just a touch of bitter butterscotch and astringency.

16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. Best by: 06-28-22. Color is a deep orange that’s nearly see-through! Aroma a soft apricot, weak herb, bready malt. Flavor follows with a thin body yet… nicely dry texture. Unfortunately it is followed by astringent bitterness. Based on this beer I’m not not rushing to the end of the Cape to try more Hog Island.

So, I got this pounder $4 can at the source before I drove home. Its a big green mean looking can like a bog brutal anchor coated with algae. Its big and its green and it has the impact like any other brutal IPA. Bitter blasting bold brutal boastful bossy bitchy bastard bacchanalian back breaker bad ass baffling baleful baneful bankrupt barbed barefaced barmy batty bawdy beastly bedlamite bellicose belligerent bent bereaved berserk besetting bestially biased bighead big-mouthed bigot. What else can be said of the 1 kilo thousand times 10 to the 100drth IPA out there? There, you have it: Beer need not be bitter. The best are without the hop preservative effects.

Can just says "6-3" on the bottom. Drunk 8/16/17.
Deep bronze-copper color. Lightly hazy. Beige head is small but stable at cover.
Spicy greenery in the nose with some juicy pineapple opens things up. Malts add sweet honey and a touch of bread crust on the end. No resin. Big juicy fruit characteristics with more warming. Pretty nice. Medium strength of aroma overall, but no alcohol or flaw. Maybe tending rather malty but at least it's almost all base malt character.
In the mouth it's shockingly dry, not malty and quite under-malted, actually, with a thin, washed-out texture. Very spicy hops with vague bitterness and weird soap and odd blandness persisting on the end. Very abrupt finish, with not much even through the middle. Eventually, astringency builds from husky malt and hop bitterness.
Why you would ever enter the Boston market (any market really) via Wachussett (where this is contract brewed/canned) is well beyond me. I'm sure they got a great deal on the contract but at what cost to your reputation when people try this crap. Or maybe their own beer is this bad too? Who knows.

Pours a dark amber from a can, some lacing. Aroma is a light tropical fruit, perhaps some melon and a light pine. Flavor is similar, although not overwhelming, a little faint. Thin, but not overly so, kind of a middling beer.
