On draft into a tulip glass
Pours an opaque light straw yellow to gold with a small white head that settles to leave some light lace
Aroma of cantaloupe and honeydew, pineapple, pine and some wintergreen mint.
Taste follows with the melon taking center stage, leads into under ripe pineapple some pine with a little bitterness finding a home. No real minty taste.
Medium body with medium light carbonation, makes this one a smooth sipper, light bitterness balances any sweetness making you reach for your next sip.
Overall a nice double IPA, I'd be interested in trying a can and see if the mintiness is found. Paired well with taco Tuesday.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: thick pale orange haziness with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some melon/cantaloupe, mixed citrusy, piney, pineapple hop notes; light malts - clean and some sweetened notes to those malts
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality with a slight passion fruit note; finishes melon, pineapple-y and slightly passion fruit-like
Texture: medium bodied; clean sipper; lovely smoothness; low carb and a low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: what an absolute gem by these two breweries! Very well done!

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: pale yellow cardboard colored haziness with a two finger white frothy head which took it's time to dissipate then leave some light lace
Aroma: mangoes, orange zest, light lemon and some grapefruity tones; light clean malts
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality adding in a little bit of dark berry hints; finishes mango-like with some sugars
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; very smooth along the tongue, nice low carb; low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: just a wee bit extra sweet in the finish but other than that, its still a pretty nicely done NEIPA.

Appearance: pale orange cloudiness with a two finger white foamy head which trailed off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet orangey to grapefruity pulpy and some lemon tones, light orange zest, subtle clean malts
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality flanked by a little bit of orange zestiness; finishes bittersweet through the oranges with a touch of the orange zest
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness - nothing really there to prevent a great flow even the zest that was previously smelled and tasted has disappeared from any nicking
Overall: a very nicely done NEPA very worthy of coming back to.
