Pint can thanks to hershiser2! 5/28/22. Murky orange, large fizzy white head, good retention. Aroma of lime, grapefruit, pale malt. Taste is melon, dank, grapefruit, tangerine. Juicy, mild bitterness. Nice.

Draft at Back Bay's Farmhouse Brewing. Poured a light but very hazy color with a small, fizzy kind of head. Aroma was big juicy notes. Pineapple, oranges. Citrus, with some floral notes. Pleasant stuff.

Fairly hazy golden and raw honey coloured body with a good, two centimetre tall light tan head - all about 60 per cent opaque. Aroma of flowers, lactose, a dash of citrus, a nice yeast and rather strong malty and almost nutty scent. Medium-bodied; Strong rich malts dominate the flavour at first with flowers, grain and a light earthy bite, but those tastes give way fairly quickly to the floral and grassy hop flavours and a more pronounced fruity and citrusey finish, all with a good deal of sugars, but the bitterness and balance are both strong and enjoyable. Aftertaste shows a pleasant balance of sweetness (from the tropical fruits/citrus) and hop bitterness - very nicely structured and somehow irrelevant of the malt and alcohol components. Overall, a very nice IPA that shows the NorthEast IPA components in a sweet, yet still bitter (old school IPA-ish) way. Nice to sample and recommended! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Crystal City Wine Shop in Arlington, Virginia on 18-October-2019 for US$4,13 sampled at home in Washington on 29-November-2019.
