Can at home watching the bruins. The can design just called to me to throw a neipa into my sixer and why this one vs the other 1,000 unrated choices? Just marketing label design. Orange pour and decent head some floater looking stuff. Nose is peach, pineapple and some spice. Tatses of pineapple, honey dew, peach, peppery, cookie dough, and bread. Medium bodied. No bitterness of course.

Draught at source: pours hazy with a white head. Aroma is citrus, pineapple. Taste is sweet, lightly bitter. Smooth body. Fine.

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a glossy burnt yellow to orange color. No head. Minimal speckled lace.
The aroma takes sweet pineapple, pine and grassy sweet to bitter hops. Lemon zest.
The flavor yields to the bitter side and pushing the pine up front. But this seems to start to imbalance the great aromas I smelled. Big piney aftertaste crushing the finish dryly.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to almost medium on the body. Fairly crushable. Carbonation felt fine but bitterness seems bolder than expected.
Overall, great aroma but a bit overly harsh in the feel, and didn’t seem to come together in the flavor. That’s a shame, I usually love their IPA’s, what happened here, Foley, you’re better than this.
