Passionfruit and mango to the fore, some citrusy grapefruit and orange bringing up the rear, some prickly hop spice bite, sweetish malty support, robust hoppy finish. Very nice.

Can (12/10/24) pour from New England Wine & Spirits, Newburyport. Turbid, dark yellow-light brown with copious floaties, a large chunk of trub, nice sparkle, thin head, lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruit and hint of herb. Taste is strong candied fruit, bready malt backbone, late milder citrus. Smooth, thick texture, average carbonation and fruity finish. Aroma, flavor and texture are nice; hard to get past the look.

16 oz can. Aroma and flavor are equal parts, grapefruit, floral bouquet with a mild undertone of grass. Pretty solid amount of hop flavors. Just enough malt backing to provide a medium body. Lightly dry in texture. Well made.

hazy yellow bordering light orange, smooth light yellow head. Aroma is bittersweet and quite fruity, exotic fruits, peaches.
Flavor is fruity, slighly tilted to the exotic fruity side but not much. oranges, mangoes, lemons. Also fainter grapes, grapefruit, herbs.
If you like your beer be hazy fruity sweet with low bitterness this might be you. It's not really my thing.
The beer is done really well, and there is a lot of hops to explore. So far better quality than my rating indicate

Can (10/16/24--Brewver has just over 900,000 beers now!) from Liquor Junction, Reading. Opaque black, nice sparkle, thin sheen of head, light lacing. Aroma is strong sweet malt, chocolate, vanilla and marshmallow. Taste is strong initial marshmallow, vanilla over chocolate; back half is all base sweet malts. Velvety smooth, thick texture, medium bodied. Sweet, dessert sipper to be sure, so you should be prepared for that but lovely.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thanks Tom. Aroma is candied lemon, orange. Taste is strong citrus, That is similar to an orange Creamsicle. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation and finish has the light vanilla like hint. Good array of hop flavors. Quite good!

Aroma is oranges and lemon milkshakey, with a tiny hint of malty hops. the milk part seems to be ever so slightly tart. not really my thing. After a while and some warmth exotic fruits also show up in the aroma. mangoes, peaches, pear.
flavor is better. a bit more herbal hoppy and the milk has gone away. notes of grapefruit, oranges, pine, faint crisp slightly nutty perhaps malts, in fact a very well rounded strong ipa with a great balance between bitterness and hoppy more juicy notes. The malty base is super crisp and showcases the hops well. I am very surprised at the excellence of the flavor given the fairly uninspiring aroma. Great beer just don't smell it first.
