Poured from a can dated 2/25/26 into a tulip glass
Pours a hazy pale yellow to gold with one finger of white head that disapates rather quickly leaving a bit of soapy slick lacing.
The aroma is big tropical notes, intense juicy peach, pineapple, grapefruit, light kiwi and melon, very tropical
The flavor matches the nose with intense tropical fruit medley, big peach leaning into semi sweet grapefruit.
Very soft and pillow, light carbonation and a medium body makes it super smooth. Very mild bitterness to balance the sweet tropical flavors finishing on the dryer side.
Overall this an awesome double neipa, pillowy soft tropical juice that I'd gladly come back to

Poured from a can dated 12/29/25 into a tulip glass.
It pours a hazy opaque light golden yellow with one and a half fingers of white head that settles to leave light lacing.
It has the aroma of ripe pineapple, orange, lime and juicy tropical notes
Taste follows the aroma with more pronounced citrus and a bite of pine towards the finish.
It's a soft medium body with a little tingle from the carbonation. It's smooth and drinks easy for 8.2% has a enough bitterness to keep you coming back for more.
Overall it's a nice double New England IPA that I would come back gladly visit again.

Can from CBC Liquors, Westford. Cloudy, milky yellow, nice sparkle, thin head with good retention and rings of lacing. Aroma is musky/cooking herb, citrus. Taste is strong citrus, mild, dank herb, lemon, cracker. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation and herbal, cracker, bitter finish. No idea which hop accounts for the herbal character! Citrus flavor is classic NEIPA. Another winning NEIPA from this brewer.

16 oz can. Aroma has citrus, mango, peach. Flavor follows with a soft, supple mouth feel. Lightly chewy oats but still air- like in texture. Zero bitterness. Another Prototypical NE IPA from this Brewer. Nice.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow haziness; two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some messy lace
Aroma: passionfruity/grapefruity/pineapple-y hops up front with a nice underscore of fresh piney hops and balancing with a clean malt base
Flavor: bittersweet through the prior mentioned aromas; mild aftertaste of passionfruity and grapefruity hop tones
Texture: medium bodied, some sessionability; semi-smooth but also with a little bit of hop spice harshness; finishes clean with the pineapple-y and passionfruity hoppiness
Overall: I'd say a pretty nicely done NEIPA I would be willing to enjoy again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: mild burnt yellow color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which slid off delicately to leave some light messy lace
Aroma: some light citrusy to passion fruity and peachy hops; light clean malts
Flavor: somewhat bittersweet but sometimes seemed like it was moderating between bitter then sometimes sweet; decent aftertaste of peach and passion fruit
Texture: medium bodied, between being sessionable and somewhat a sipper; light smoothness but also some hop grip; finishes quick with the peachy to passion fruity hop spice
Overall: it's not a bad NEDIPA, though nothing that would knock my socks off, I believe I still could come back to.
