Can from tfontana, thanks for the trade! Deep yellow color bordering on gold with great clarity and a tightly bubbled white head that quickly recedes. Pineapple and stone fruit with a hint of earth and grass a just a touch of sour grapefruit. Not too bad for something without the haze.

16 oz. can direct from the brewery. Big thanks going to tfontana on this trade. Aroma is soft pineapple and mild cantaloupe. This Sabro hop again shows mild coconut and pineapple nuances. Soft melon pulp. Lightly tropical with a lighter body. Good drinkable quality.

Can pour from the brewery. Appearance is hazy pale yellow with nice sparkle, finger-width fizzy white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is moderately strong melon, pineapple. Taste is strong pineapple, tangerine, hint of peach and maybe the somewhat bitter side of unsweetened coconut with yeast. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, for a NEIPA in the heart of New England, WITH SABRO, this is a bit disappointing. Not the quintessential look or feel of a NEIPA, the ABV is on the low side and neither the aroma nor taste is terribly strong. Nothing bad about it but being mediocre in this category is tough.
