Super hazy golden and raw honey coloured body with a deep straw tint and a thinnish, single centimetre tall pure white head that fades fairly quickly on top. Aroma of deep pepper and super pungent floral and fresh-cut grass notes with a strong alpha acid bite and some strong bitterness and orangey scents as well. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very citrusey flavours with some deep mangoes, grapefruit and resin elements coming through showing some bitterness, alpha acids and especially a good dry, citrusey and especially fresh hop bite that has a lot of character. Aftertaste is dry, floral, grassy, citrusey and even peppery with a nice bite, but the citrus, oranges, grapefruit and resinous notes dominate with a ton of alpha acids and a slight mango juiciness, but the finish is pungent dank hops, in a more newfangled, New England IPA, unfiltered sort of way, but very refreshing and super robust and rich throughout. Overall, a very nice beer that shows well throughout and leaves a great product from start to finish, and an almost perfect way to get back to the East Coast after being on vacation for more than ten days, by having a New England IPA that's very good, from the North East! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from K-1 Beer and Wine in Arlington, Virginia on 07-June-2020 for US$5,59 sampled in my house back in Washington after just visiting three national parks, four states with my three kids and wife.
