Pours a hazy carbed up cloudy yellow. Orange peels and pineapple. Pretty good.

Ridiculously hazy light golden coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall just off-white head with a nice oily sheen on top. Aroma of citrus fruit, grapefruit, white wine grapes, flowers, chamomile tea, grass and light malts. Light to Medium-bodied; Deep citrusey and bitter flavours dominate up front with a lot of grapefruit peel, curacao and floral notes with a big dose of grass, hay and tea-like flavours at the end that all seem to contribute to the bitterness here, without much sweetness at all, but bunches of fruit notes. Aftertaste is dry, grassy, herbal and very bitter from the hops with a nice complexity and pretty straight-forward soft malt notes that lets this focus exclusively on the hops. Overall, a great fresh-hop focused beer with a lot of grass, hay and especially citrus that strikes a nice balance for the style with some smooth complexity, especially on the dry, floral, citrusey and bitterness throughout. Good to sample, especially fresh - a nice real New England IPA to sample if you can find it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from MOM's Organic Market in Alexandria, Virginia on 28-February-2021 for US$3,49, canned on 04-September-2020 in Upstate New York, sampled at my house in Washington on 11-March-2021.
Gold pour. Thin foamy head. Even lace around rim. Oak nose with a sweet citrus. Oak and lemon cello flavor with a lemon cello palate.

Strong lemon zest and grapefruit nose. Opaque golden, medium head, nice lace. Lemon zest, fresh split oak. Medium body, silky mouthfeel. Oooooh I like this! I don't know where the woodiness is coming from, but I dig it.
Not as juicy or sweet, though something on the backend doesn't sit well with me.

Can (4/30/20) pour. Appearance is opaque light brown-dark yellow with lots of bubbles on the sides of the glass with nice sparkle, finger-width foamy off-white head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong, sweet mango, candied fruit, melon, mild lime. Taste is strong orange, peach, pineapple, mango, melon. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation, faint pleasant alcohol warmth, and juicy finish as taste. Overall, these guys know their juice! A successful foray away from their citrusy, juice bomb series, this one is different but equally good. It leans a little thin but I think that may be more intentional than a mistake.

16 oz can from Halftime, 6/7/20. Hazy pale yellow, pillowy, lasting, froth of bright white head. Grains, orange, grapefruit, light peach, a little honeydew. Floral, grassy, and slightly herbal mid-palate through the finish. Decent overall, but not quite there.
