Very hazy golden coloured body with a super thin, single centimetre tall off-white head that fades fast, but the opacity of the beer beneath is around ninety per cent - nice! Aroma of citrus fruit, pine, candy sugar, fresh cut grass and some fresh flowers, but very aromatic. Medium-bodied; Rich wheaty or even oaty malt notes evident with a smooth and silky profile that balances out the deeper grassy and citrusey hop notes in a great way, with a kick of dry pepper and floral elements towards the end that give a bit of complexity to just the citrusey and grassy hops plus all the malts. Aftertaste is robust with an easy-ish drinking profile that shows some dry notes, resin, flowers and a nice malt backbone that brings out both sugars and alcohol, seemingly slightly lower than the 8 per cent. Overall, a nice enough, unfiltered almost Imperial-ish IPA that isn't really New England at all and definitely more West Coasty (plain IPA), but made in Buffalo. Decent, but their other beers have fared better than this. Still, not a bad option if already have this one! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from MOM's Organic Market in Alexandria, Virginia on 28-February-2021 for US$3,99, canned on 02-December-2020, sampled at my house here in Washington on 17-March-2021, St. Patrick's Day!
