Fairly hazy rich orange, peach and light copper colorued body with a thinnish, two centimetre tall soapy tan head that leaves an ugly lace on the sides. Aroma of citrus fruit, honey, flowers, grass and a noticeable hit of alcohol and malt. Medium-bodied; Fairly rich malt backbone with some biscuits and clean yeast notes showing first, but a light herbal and floral component shows toward the end, with noticeable bitterness from the alpha acids in the hops. Aftertaste shows a dry and grassy finish with a good, fairly mild level of the citrus fruits and bitterness cutting through the pretty easy-drinking, smooth malts, with only a sliver of alcohol noticeable and perhaps more sweetness of wheatie malts around than anything else, including hops! Overall, a pretty nice beer that has some relatively mild New Englnad IPA profile aspects, but a smooth, easy-drinking characteristic, including honey, sweetness and wheatie malts. Nice to sample very fresh from New York, but down here in Washington. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Bryant Park), New York on 02-May-2021 for US$3,99, canned on 21-February-2021 'Do As I Say', sampled at my house here in Washington on 25-May-2021.
