Quite hazy golden and yellow coloured body with a rich, very soapy tan head, about five centimetres tall. Aroma of pure grass, hay and floral notes with a lot of bitterness, but also some earthy and biscuity malts noticeable as well. Medium-bodied; Strong rich alcohol bite up front with a solid sweetness from fruits and caster sugar with a nice biscuity bite, a touch of flowers and more grassy hops with a smooth, but noticeable alcohol flavour towards the end, with a good citrus and apricot nuance. Aftertaste shows the bitterness from the hops with a dry flavour and profile with malts still coming out as well, ending with some alcohol pungency and a dose of sugars. Overall, a fairly well-balanced beer with a decidedly pungent grassy flavour and some sugars as well, but solid and evident as an East Coast IPA through and through - this was a nice one to try and recommended for those with the option. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 23-June-2019 for US$3,29 sampled at home in Washington on 30-September-2019.

Very solid West Coast IPA. Lots of big pine and what tastes like Nelson though I could be wrong. Some citrus. Big forest aroma here. Bitter end. Can.

16 ounce can. Number one with a bullet. Hazy medium gold color. Frothy white head. Citrusy wheat malt nose. Fresh wheat malt flavor upfront has notes of clover and lemon. Hints of earthy yeast. Light bodied and soft mouthfeel. Light tangy finish has notes of hay.

On tap into shaker pint glass at Aunt Chilada's, Hamden. Appearance is cloudy, yellow-tinged light brown with no discernible sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with poor retention and very nice leggy lacing. Aroma is sweet berry and melon dominant with light grapefruit. Taste is as aroma but the grapefruit is higher in the mix and so is more bitter than the aroma. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with lingering pleasant bitterness.

Draft sample at the brewery, 5/25/19. Unclear reddish-copper. Flavor is malts and dough under the adjuncts. Not bad, but a bit too heavy on the adjunct sweetness for me to like it more. 7/4/6/3/13

On draft at Plan B Simsbury. Very murky pour, pineapple juice-like. Nice stone fruit and grapefruit aroma. Flavour is stone fruit but doesn’t quite live up to the aroma. Nice pleasant finish
