Canned 3/19, drunk 3/30/18.
Glowing bronze-to-copper with more of a strong cloudiness than soupiness. Large white head shows moderately-strong retention.
Smells like honey and graham cracker-like malt character, initially. Tangerine and marmalade are woven in, as caramel mixes in and increases the malt presence. It's not so much sweet and rich of malts as it is bready and grainy, with a bit stronger a focus than I'd prefer. Some "traditional" (for a NE IPA) mango-lime juice notes are very light and it ends with light pine, as well.
In the mouth it's a bit dry and grainy, certainly well-attenuated with a continuing (from the nose) focus on the malt. As it warms and breathes, it does soften considerably, adding a bit more juiciness in to the mix. Bubble gum-like yeast adds lots of perceived fruitiness while lime, tangerine and marmalade sit on the finish, a mix of lightly bitter and spicy. Alcohol is well-concealed, carbonation is engaging.

16 oz. can. Date of 4-22-18. Thank you Chalumeaux! Aroma shows me light pine, bold mango pulp, and maybe orange bits. The flavor is a mango cocktail with a splash of resin in the backend. Bitterness is subdued by a mildly "juicy" texture. Pretty reasonable.

4 oz. draft at Extreme Beer Fest, 3 Feb, 2018. Flavor shows big grapefruit, mild grass, lactose sugar with a creamy mouthfeel. The bitterness is strong in grapefruity notes. I donโ€™t like the milkshake IPA technique. I hope this trend ends soon. It is not the breweryโ€™s flaunt I hate this style. I say leave this trend behind and start a new one.

4 oz. draft at Extreme Beer Fest, 3 Feb, 2018. The aroma was roasty and coffee. The taste was also very roasty with coffee flavor and mild vanilla. There was also a nice milky and sugary sweetness. It was very smooth and balanced, creamy texture. I could not pick out the peppers at all. lots of vanilla. I donโ€™t mind that the pepper element was low. Well-crafted sweet stout.
