Super hazy golden and orange-tinted body with a raw honey glow that is about 80 per cent opaque. Aroma of citrus, light mango, a dash of pine and some noticeable fresh-cut grass and resinous notes with a good deal of alpha acids in the nose. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very citrusey flavours show from the hops way up front with a nice and supportive malt backbone with a ton of orange juice notes, but a light peppery and dry bite, especially at the end. Aftertaste is robust, very well-balanced and showing some deep bitterness from the hops but a nice balance from malts with a smooth sweetness from the fruit juice sweetness makes for a nice beer throughout. Overall, a nice and robust, very fruity and juicy New England IPA from the heart of New England, but purchased and sampled here way down in Florida - perhaps even better! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 30-December-2020 for US$5,69 sampled in my hotel room around the corner here in Lake Buena Vista, Florida on New Year's Day, 01-January-2021.
