Resinous, fruity, piney

Can at home, from HOTM online, 09/08/23. Hazed orange with a good sized lasting just off white covering. Nose is ripe citric flesh, pine needle, grass, papaya, mandarin, grapefruit. Taste comprises bitter orange, pine resin, dank chimes, grass, papaya, stoned fruits. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with dankened come lightly resinous hop bitterness. Tidy IPA ... bitter, dank, some resinous aspects ... how I like them!

Pretty hazy golden coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of rich oranges, mangoes, papaya and some mango with a lot of sugars here and some lactose noticeable as well in the nose. Medium-bodied; Strong rich orange and papaya notes with a lot of wheat and oaty notes as the malt backbone here that supports the rich sugars and fruit elements along with a dash of light bitterness coming through the cracks. Aftertaste shows some light alpha acid bitterness with a lot of wheat and oat maltiness along with a pretty big kick of tangerines, mangoes, grapefruit and even some stone fruits like apricots, but the papaya and guava richness really sticks out here. Overall, a very nice, super fruity, but incredibly balanced New England IPA from New England - a very good example of the style and well worth trying to find, if you can! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 26-November-2022 sampled on 13-January-2023 while here in New York, New York with my family.
