Can from the packie in Hyannis
Deep gold color with a good sized frothy white head that persists. Bready grainy cereal maltiness with bits of earth and spice to counter. Not bad but a little full bodies for my taste from a wheat beer.

Cloudy pale amber colour and medium-sized off-white head and lace. Aroma has grassy hops, sone fruits and caramalt. Light-bodied. Grassy hoppy flavour, decent bitterness, malty flavors, underlying caramalt and fruityness. Kind of old school vibe. Bought from Plymouth, MA.

Pours a hazy copper from a can. Nice classic IPA pine aroma and flavor, resin. Pretty good beer.

Can (best by 6/28/22--canned 12/28/21?) pour from City Spirits, Attleboro. It's a lightly hazy amber-orange with mild sparkle, 2-finger width rocky foam off-white head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong pine and milder citrus with bread in background. Taste is sweet pine and citrus. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation and crisp finish as taste with mild bitterness at very tail end. Overall, a pretty old school IPA. I'd love to see this base made into a Black IPA.

Can from tfontana thanks for the opportunity Mostly clear dark gold in color with a frothy white head that slowly dissipates. Resinous pine and thin bready malt with just a touch of bitter butterscotch and astringency.

16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. Best by: 06-28-22. Color is a deep orange that’s nearly see-through! Aroma a soft apricot, weak herb, bready malt. Flavor follows with a thin body yet… nicely dry texture. Unfortunately it is followed by astringent bitterness. Based on this beer I’m not not rushing to the end of the Cape to try more Hog Island.
