473ml can. Hazy, dark yellow-ish, golden colour with average, fluffy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grassy and citrusy fruity, minimally piney, hoppy aroma, wheaty and minimally oaty malty background, hints of grapefruit, lemon, a touch of mandarine, orange, weed. Taste is mildly bitter, slightly zesty, citrusy fruity and grassy hoppy, wheaty and slightly oaty malty basis with a minimally sugary touch and low residual sweetness, minimally diluted hints of grapefruit and orange, tangerine. Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Surprisingly watery, rather thin flavours - OK, but not overly impressive.

Draft at restaurant in Milford. My kids were being horrible but luckily I could ignore them and enjoy this beverage. Orange pour. Nose is citrus and pine. Tastes of oranges, pine, cantaloupe, honey dew, touch of resin. Medium bodied. Fruity finish with pine earth. Liked

Can (9/13/21) pour from Andover Classic Wines. It's an opaque light brown-dark yellow with light sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with fair retention and light soapy lacing. Aroma is strong tropical and stone fruits with milder citrus. Taste mirrors aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, good aroma and flavor.

16 oz. can traded by tfontana, thanks Tom. Aroma shows light fruit and a little bit of dank hop presence. The citrus and pineapple shows throughout the sip with a little bit of juicy texture. Surprisingly a good amount of dank hop to balance the fruit. Soft texture and mouth feel. Nice IPA!

Draught at the brewery, 5/27/17.
Glowing canteloupe-to-copper-golden with a small but firm white head and a heavy haziness.
Pure, delightful, unadulterated juice in the nose showing the "new classic" notes of melon, mango, papaya and pineapple over a base of lightly grainy, biscuit and cracker malts that impart a bit of dainty honey-like sweetness. For all the PNW hops in here, they’ve sure done one hell of a job of keeping this stuff intensely juicy and mostly free of heavy citrus and pine. Almost no resin and what citrus there is helps to undercut the juiciness lightly and keeps it quite bright.
Juicy and soft in the mouth with light biscuit and honey from the malt and a high attenuation and tight carbonation. A bit of rustic graininess, lots of melon and light pine lingering. Clean and with no alcohol. Lovely. Brick and Feather certainly is the real deal.
