Some pineapple and a little lime. Green onion. Pours golden with decent head. Great balance and big hop profile. Hop tang finish with a touch of booze. Very nice stuff. Can.

Super hazy deep and blonde and raw honey coloured glowing body with a dense and very noticeable pure white head atop, about a centimetre tall that stays for the duration. Aroma of very fragrant and noticeable citrus and tropical fruits with a lot of grassy and a touch of herbal elements, but aside from a modicum of malts, this is all about the juicy, fruit-centric hops that make this a 'New England' IPA in its fullest sense. Medium-bodied; Dense juicy and fruity Mouthfeel with a lot of grass and flavourful hop and light malt notes that leave a little bitterness, but mainly associated with the hay, grass, light floral note and tons of juicy notes. Aftertaste shows the soft sweetness, a light billowy hint of malt and grain, but this truly is about the fruit-forward hop notes and a dose of grapefruit, oranges and resin at the very end. Overall, a very nicely done and expertly balanced 'Hazy' IPA that shows very well, even amongst the style is and for those who might not like IPAs at all - this is very welcoming! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased a few minutes ago from Crystal City Wine Shop in Arlington, Virginia for US$4,41 here at my hotel room just a few blocks from my house here in Washington, on 29-March-2019
