Draught at the brewery, 6/30/18.
Heavily hazy, blonde-brass with deeper maize hues. White head atop is medium-sized, dense, and shows moderate retention.
Juicy peach, orange and mango mix with slightly more aggressive grapefruit and pine, but it's not overdone in the resin/citrus/pine category and actually lends good balance to the tropical/yellow fruitiness. More estery yeast gives it a full-on NE IPA character and malts are mostly sparse, though do contribute appropriate honey-like character.
In the mouth it's soft, juicy, not boozy or sharp and shows good softness for these hops. Tons of fruit juice and lighter peach-papaya without the associated twang and heavy pine that I get from both of these hops quite often. Engaging carbonation and growing citrus-pine, but it never overwhelms. "Thick" texture with fair amount of yeast could perhaps be a bit lighter, but it counteracts the alcohol and acidity nicely, on the other hand.

Draught at the brewery, 6/30/18.
Moderately hazy, light blonde-to-brass with a small, white head showing moderate retention.
Lemon, potpourri and slight juicy lime mix with bubble gum and melon from the yeast with light, honey-like malt behind it. Clean, not resinous and again very impressive on its presentation. Gains a good amount of juiciness, especially given this hop, which Ive found to be overly dry, lemon-heavy and dull at times.
Lightly juicy, soft and biscuity with lemon-lime, orange juice, melon and light pepper and floral notes on the end. Well attenuated and clean, with strong yeast esters but well integrated and neither messy or sharp. Tight carbonation and no resin with lime and melon lingering.

Draught at the brewery, 6/30/18.
Thoroughly hazy, blonde-banana-golden. White head is small, dense, sits at cover.
Candied orange and papaya in the nose mix with bubble gum and melon from the yeast to give a pretty classic NE IPA character though it's a bit more dry and cracker-heavy than usual, not necessarily a bad thing.
Dry, yet malty and supple with a good, grainy character on the end and good attenuation. Peach-papaya-mango and very low resin make for an enjoyable hop character with low bitterness and lingering light pine and more orange. Engaging carbonation and no booze or flaw.

16 oz. can. Fresh can in a trade. Nose shows mild citrus, papaya type fruit, yeast. Flavor is pretty mellow. Mixed fruits, subtle pine in the finish all backed by a mild pale grain backbone. The mouthfeel is soft and pillowy. Pretty good.

Sample at the NH Brewers Association Brewfest. Hazy light red color with a small bubbly white head. Lemony tart intense pucker factor with a strong raspberry flavor to help counter.
