Growler filled 7/22, drunk 8/3/18, shared by Stacey, thanks!
Hazy peach-copper. White head slowly falls to cover showing good retention there.
Bit of West Coast and NE throughout the nose show nectarine, pineapple, mango and strong pine. Pretty nice, though a touch of vegetal Mosaic character. No alcohol, low resin and sparse malt.
In the mouth it's a bit garlic-y, though not badly so. Mango and pine provide an interesting juxtaposition while lightly juicy pineapple and drier nectarine emerge on the end. Great texture, as New Park seems to have nailed down, with engaging carbonation and soft, supple malt. Warming shows some cantaloupe, peach-papaya and some hot, twangy sharpness. Pretty nice, but I don't like the acidic, pine and bad Mosaic notes.

Clear, bright brass. White head fades steadily to a ring.
Banana and light pepper phenols with little/no clove and a good mix of nutty and cereal-like wheat. Light honey from the malt but it seems very wheat-focused and highly attenuated. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth clove and bubble gum are evident; much more so than I'd seen in the nose. Meh, rather Americanized and very estery. Light and attenuated but still malty and soft, at least. Honey-rich with light bitterness and herbal touches. Good attempt and not too clovey. Really nice base malt and wheat character with engaging carbonation.

Growler filled 7/22, shared by Stacey on 8/3/18.
Pale straw with light peach throughout. White head fades steadily to a ring.
Fruity, juicy hops in the nose show typical peach-nectarine yet yeast mixes in to add apple and light bubble gum. Very soft and fruity and prototypical New England.
Light hay and oats in the mouth seem to imply some adjunct grains. Otherwise, lime-guava imparts both juice and light acidity. Light on the palate and well-attenuated with ample malt depth. Good rustic notes with an almost Belgian flare to it. Hops are flavorful without overpowering or overbittering. No alcohol, resin or flaw. Light, engaging carbonation.

Growler filled 7/7 and drunk 7/18/18, thanks to Stacey.
Heavilly hazy-to-soupy, bronze-maize with a medium-sized, white head that falls slowly to cover. Very typical NE IPA appearance.
Spicy and showing nectarine, light pine and red grapefruit, it seems to be Mosaic, yet it's done very well, with no scallion/garlic character whatsoever. Very strong, fruity yeast contributes melon and light bubble gum to "sweeten" things somewhat, while honey-vanilla-like malts provide support and there is a touch of grainy biscuit, as well. No alcohol, flaw or resin.
Soft and juicy in the mouth, with a good deal of pine, yet it never gets too bitter nor resinous. Nectarine, lemon and light grapefruit with hints of pineapple, soft, honey-rich malts and engaging carbonation. Lots of melon and bubble gum from the yeast and good attenuation throughout. Very nice, by-the-books NE IPA.

32 oz. growler from the source shared by Stacey. Aroma shows mild oranges, light pine. Tropical fruit in the center. Citrus peel hints. Shows a stern bitterness in the form of pine / herbal. I wish I had had a larger sample. Nice stuff!

32 oz. growler shared by Stacey H. Lightly cloudy appearance. Mild yeast, mild bubblegum notes of honey. Plenty of yeast in a light body with some lingering yeast notes. Pretty much what you would expect. Well brewed.

32 oz. growler from the brewery shared by Stacey. Aroma is mild floral, grain, and a slpash of citrus. Perfect dry texture is a crisp light body. Backbone is mild malt with a simple hop blend of citrus and floral notes. maybe a touch of pine as it warms. Very respectable.
