Pours yellow into a shaker. White head crackles and quickly recedes to nothing. Cracker and sweet malt aromas. Medium bodied with sweet adjunct and caramel front to back. Dry sweet finish. Pretty pricey for the macro lager it is looking to replicate.

4 oz. draft. This was a nice surprise. Not going to talk about the brewery other then this brew. Nice tropical hints, peach juice, pear juice. Nice bold Juicy character. Better than expected!

Can. Black beer with a tan head. Caramel and toffee aroma with light vanilla. Toffee and caramel flavor with spice and toasted nut. Medium-plus bodied. Toffee and toasted nuts linger with caramel, spice, and light molasses.

Just when it seems every permutation of style has been covered, comes this. As a self-described New England Pale Ale, they are deliberately not calling it an NEIPA, so I guess it is some form of American Pale Ale. Can pour into pub glass from Andover Classic Wines. Appearance is cloudy light yellow-orange like watered down tangerine juice, tons of effervescent sparkle on some edges of the glass, none elsewhere, with finger-plus width foamy white head with fair retention and spots of soapy lacing. Aroma is mix of sweet and yeasty tart fruit (like a farmhouse) and bready malt. Taste is as aroma. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, lightly spicy, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, DEFINITELY NOT an NEIPA. New England perhaps in look only. Aroma and taste really don't seem right for a pale ale. It started confusing with the style, and pretty much stayed there.

Pours a nice near black from a can, light tan head. Aroma is somewhat moldy books, coffee. Flavor is more of a coffee/roasted nut thing. Okay beer.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Andover Liquors. Appearance is lightly hazy golden yellow with greenish tinge, nice sparkle and finger-width, white foamy head with fair retention and spotty lacing. Aroma is fruit, citrus. Taste is initial dank bitter followed by fruit, cracker. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin, frothy texture, lively carbonation and dry mix of bitter and sweet finish. Overall, nice aroma with less appealing but still good flavor. Can was somewhat old so hops were restrained. Likely would have been that much nicer fresh.

Pours a slightly hazy amber from a can, minimal lacing. Some pine notes along with a light melon and tropical fruit. Similar flavor, bitter. Good beer.

Can "drunk" 1/13/18.
I was pretty determined to never drink/rate a beer from this brewery, but there was a six-pack at a party I was at, that no one was drinking (I WONDER WHY??), so I figured what the hell....
Moderately hazy, ruby-strawberry red body topped by a medium-sized, pink-butter-tinged head showing moderate retention.
Strawberry-vanilla notes are rather brutish/forceful up front; the fruit showing low integration and attenuation. It, at least, smells pretty authentic, however. Light lactose/lactic quality to it and some cereal-butter-like malt notes through the middle, with a growing acetic and butyric acid character....
In the mouth it's a sickly-sweet, tangy mix of underfermented strawberry juice, creamy-sweet lactose and strong baby diaper and vinegar. I think I spit out even the first sip and wasn't too keen on taking a second one. Yikes!
