7.4/10 β€” Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Sample during the "New England Beer & Food Tasting" on 07/14/2018. The beer is a cloudy orange juice color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly to a dense film. Sparse strings of lace. Aroma of piney hops, tropical fruit and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of grapefruit, piney hop and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

Canned 8/30, drunk 9/21/18.
Soupy brass-bronze-golden. White head fades steadily to a ring.
Smells very robustly of Vic Secret with strong, fruity, bubble gum-forward NE IPA yeast characteristics. Tangerine juice with light lemon on the end give the impression of a Vic Secret smoothie but does contain a good deal of acidity, keeping it from smelling like all malt and juice. Cracker malts are surprisingly sparse, yet notable, given the Maris Otter usage. No resin, alcohol, or flaw.
Wow, first sip is weird and unexpected. For as much hop and yeast character as they packed in to the aroma, and the sparse malt, the flavor is full-on malt with no bitterness and surprisingly little/no juiciness. Intense bubble gum character from the yeast approaching Tree House levels at times. Solid texture with with very high attenuation manifesting itself on the end and melon-lemon-lime flavors lingering. Could use a lot more juice character. Cracker and bubble gum linger as well. Maybe a little too focused on the New England stylistics and not enough on the hop flavors. Still pretty nice, though, and the aroma is excellent for its size. No resin, alcohol or flaw noted.

Pours an opaque grapefruit juice color from a tap. Grapefruit, a bit of sour or funky aroma and flavor, musty cardboard. Thin, watery. Meh.
