Ridiculously hazy straw golden coloured body with a very large, fluffly tan head, about three centimetres tall that leaves a very ugly soapy lace on the sides. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, light resin and pineapples with some malt and fructose noticeable. Medium-bodied; Rich citrusey and tropically fruit flavours show through, with a lot of dry malt and grassiness, a few seconds later, but both of those profiles give way to some sugars near the end from tropical fruits. Aftertaste is very complex and shows nice characteristics - from dry grassy to herbal notes to the tropical and citrus fruits and a soft & sweet flavour of resin, pineapple and mangoes. Overall, a very nice beer, especially for the style, although I'd say this is much closer to a 'true' New England [pure] IPA - especially since it's actually from New England - than any APA I've had and a lot of 'New England' IPAs that state that on the label and are far from delivering. Great to sample, even a few months old, this one is worth searching out for! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Krisp Market (BestDamnBeerShop) in San Diego, California on 31-January-2020 for US$3,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 29-May-2020.
