Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: glossy burnt orange to copper color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: light mixed citrusy to grapefruity hop notes up front with a light piney to mango-like hoppiness in the middle and a clean malt bill
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality with a light juicy contour underneath; finishes somewhat grapefruity with a little bit of rind-like bitterness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness with a little bit of hop bitterness assertiveness but honestly, it's nothing cumbersome
Overall: nice enough IPA, though the brewer says it's a New England style, part of me wonders maybe it needs just a wee bit of recipe tweaking to make the appearance look more "New England-like" and lower some of that hop bitterness assertiveness too.
