Can at Dawsons Market, Washington, 9th March 23, happened to be there when there was a tasting. Pours hazy, but not thick. Aroma is tropical fruits. Taste is light, citrus, drinks easy for the abv. Pretty nice

Perfectly hazy deep copper and amber coloured body with a very nice three to four centimetre tall ultra-microfoamed tan head. Aroma of grass, pine, hop pellets, resin and a dash of perfume - old school in the nose. Medium-bodied; Very soapy flavour with a light dash of hay, grass and flowers, all with a mild malt backbone that shows some biscuity notes and a stronger bready and yeast bite - especially at the end. Some light hop bitterness exists with the dry quality and range, all ending with some very light citrus and grapefruit. Aftertaste is dry, herbal, grassy, floral and showing a fairly good balance of lighter hops with biscuity malt and finishing with some soapy notes, yeast and cleanser-like pungency. Overall, a decent IPA that is sort of confused. It looks like a New England IPA (and perhaps is shown as one here on RB), but tastes like a plain East Coast IPA, but has a dry and herbal complexity. Interesting at least, but not worth trying to find, however, good enough to get if you were at Caboose. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 01-June-2020 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington, just a few hours later, a few blocks away, on 01-June-2020.

Draught at the source: not quite hazy. Aroma is mellow tropical fruitiness. Taste is sweet and fruity. Not full on NEIPA, but satisfactory. Very low bitterness.

Draft at Caboose Brewing. Poured a hazy golden yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was lots of smooth citrus - orange. Tropical fruit, with some light pine. Flavor was super juicy. Really smooth, bitterness is pretty mellow, nice.

A hazed golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, nice biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, resinous and piney, light doughy character, OK. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with resinous floral hops, treacle, light butterscotch, tropical fruit, OK. On tap at Brewer's on the block, DC 2017.
