End Crab meets Excessive Juice, big bold and hoppy! Excessively hopped with juicy Citra, Mosaic, Azacca, & Motueka hops that combine with our full-bodied English ale yeast for a flavor profile bursting with tropical fruit, citrus, and a hint of dank.
Excessive? Quite possibly.
Juicy? Most definitely!

Ultra hazy, opaque and cloudy rich orange coloured body with a beautiful one to two centimetre tall off-white microfoamed head that lasts for a long time above the 95 per cent opaque body. Aroma of oranges, vanilla, lactose, wheat oats, cream, light alpha acids from the hops and some rich sugars. Full-bodied; Syrupy and sticky sweet vanilla and lactose flavours show at first with a slight oaty maltiness coming through and a sliver of bitterness from the hops, but this is super smooth and subtle for being MORE than 10 per cent! Aftertaste is sweet, slightly fruity with some definite mango and pineapple nuances here, but a bunch of orange, lactose, vanilla, cream and especially oats make this go down extremely easily with seemingly no bitterness. Overall, this is squarely a New England, New-School IPA that somehow does NOT show Imperial Status at all - bunches of vanilla & cream, but this is very easy-going, drinkable and around 7 per cent ABV it seems! Beware - this one is great, but could sneak up on you...has it already snuck up on me?!? This is a great beer to be 'finished' with my verbose ratings that I have seemingly always written for my first 10,000 beer ratings! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from State Line Liqours in Elkton, Maryland on 05-February-2023 for US$6,29, canned on 19-January-2023 with the tagline 'Needs More, Dinosaur' on the bottom of the can, and sampled at my house here in Washington on 07-July-2023.
