Poured from a can into a tulip glass
Pours a hazy opaque goldenrod yellow with a finger of white foamy head that settles to a light ring leaving slight strings of lace
Aroma is a tropical medley with mango, passion fruit and tangerine dominating. Also notes of peach, guava and hints of pine.
Taste follows the nose but is more citrus forward. Tangerine and citrus pith meld nicely with tropical fruit sweetness and the pine to pineapple finish.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a medium carbonation, a smoot light bitterness balances it all out. Finishes semi dry making a very drinkable dipa
Overall a very impressive aroma but I think a touch heavy handed on the carbonation. I'd gladly come back to this when reaching for an nedipa.

Can to nonic glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a finger and a half's worth of khaki foamy head which slid off at a good pace and left some light lace
Aroma: milk chocolate, some caramel to dark bready tones, just a little bit of coffee and light earthy sweetness underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a sweet to slightly roasty tone with an underscore of bitterness; lovely mobility of the finish - nothing overly dry, nothing watery - just plain smooth
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; very smooth along the tongue, good carb level; no hop bitterness
Overall: not really an English brown ale or an American brown ale, is there such a thing as a dessert brown ale? Maybe a pastry brown ale (as this is quite sweet all around). Still, it's a very good clean sweet and this is a beer I would welcome again.

Can (1/30/26) from CBC Liquors, Westford. Cloudy, dark yellow, nice sparkle, thick head with fair retention and soapy lacing. Aroma is orange, citrus, bready malt. Taste is orange, citrus, malt backbone. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Decent strength, somewhat nonspecific. OK.

Can pour at River Road Tavern
Somewhat hazy dark straw color with a good sized frothy white head that slowly recedes. Bready grassy gritty with plenty of citrus and earthy notes. Decent.

Poured from a can dated 3/24/26 into a becher pint
Pours a hazy opaque goldenrod to orange with two and a half fingers of foamy white head that settles to a light covering leaving lots of sticky lacing
Aroma of sweet white grapefruit candy, lime juice, and passion fruit dominate initially, notes dank marijuana and peach pull up the rear.
The taste follows the aroma with some light pineapple joining in. Pithy citrus peel adds a welcome bitterness mid to late in the taste.
Light bodied with a prickly medium light carbonation. Finishes rather dry and the welcomed bitterness makes a fairly smooth and very sessionable NEIPA.
Overall it's a good offering, I'd gladly have this one again although I was expecting a bit more punch from the hops.

Poured from a can into a nonic pint
Pours dark mahogany to Dr Pepper brown with a finger of khaki head. The head settles to a ring leaving a fair amount of tight sticky lace
The aroma is roasty coffee, toasty brown bread and caramel malts
The flavor leans into the aroma and ramps up the nutty cold brew coffee, chocolate melds with an herbal to earthy hop character giving some pumpernickel bread.
Medium light to medium body, lower side on the carbonation. Exceptionally smooth and creamy. Very sessionable finishing medium dry with a balanced bitterness. This one is begging you to take another drink.
Overall it's not the most hoppy or the most complex but everything it tries it executes well. I'd gladly grab this beer again anytime. We need more brown ales floating around.

Poured from a can dated 2/24/26 into a becher pint glass
Pours an opaque pale yellow orange with two fingers of fluffy foamy off white head that settles to a nice top covering leaving plenty of sticky lace.
Aroma is a melange of citrus, tangerine, orange marmalade, grapefruit, key lime, a bit of citrus zest
The flavor matches with an abundance of citrus, grapefruit, tangerine, sweet orange, orange zest, creamy lime.
Creamy mouth feel, drinks medium light body, medium light carbonation leads into the creaminess. A nice bitterness plays into the citrus zest notes, finishes semi dry which works nicely.
Overall this is an enjoyable neipa, packed with citrus hops and a wonderful creamy light body. I'd definitely come back to this one again.
