Poured from can dated 9/6/17 hazy grapefruit with a nice white head. Aromas of juicy mango dank hops and some pine. Taste is tropical fruit orange passion fruit grass straw and balanced hops. Well crafted and crushable. Thanks Rob Bergin. --- Beer merged from original tick of Wrench NEIPA on 28 Dec 2021 at 18:47 - Score: 7

Draft at District Tap House. Clear golden, clean / sheeting white head. Fruity aroma with lots of spice. Flavor is spice forward, tangy, a little fruity as well. Lively, crisp, clean.

Draft at As Is. Unclear orange, nice head and solid lace. Tropical aroma with a bit of a strawberry hop note. Drinks clean, a little juicy. Not much funk, but it does have that brett style dryness to the close. Quite tasty.

Pours watery light yellow, not too much foam there. Nose is mildly fruity, some hops there as well but nothing extreme. Well, it’s a session beer. Tastes light, some hits of biscuits but overall good balance for body and bitterness for this relatively low abv. Good summer beer.

Can from Haymaker, drunk 7/6/17.
Small, white head atop shows moderate retention. Minimally hazy, peach-gold.
Leafy, dank, lush greenery in the nose with a strong spice, pepper, almost garlic-like backend. Light touch of caramel-like malt or something like that, creating a bit of breadiness. Lemon and grapefruit both "dry" out and lighten the finish. No alcohol or flaw with some light resin growing as it warms.
Soft, gentle, but engaging carbonation propels on a ton of spicy, green, dank hop notes with a fairly thick, somewhat sugary flavor reminiscent of sweet breads. Some pineapple twang is a bit disruptive and there’s grapefruit and lemon, but the all-around soft character of the texture helps downplay this, somewhat. Very fruity and green. Not bad but just a bit too "sweet" overall, for me.

Tap at The Pony Bar, New York. 7.5%. Pours clear golden with a small lasting off-white head leaving good lacing. Aroma is subtle yet powerful tropical fruit, citrus and hop, banana, pineapple, and passion fruit, also slight tobacco edge. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Seemed a little bland at first but this one really developed. Good beer.

16 oz can poured. Big thanks to Jow for sending this can over. The perfect time and place for a beer just like this, right now. A slight haze, golden pour with a ton of foam head. Aroma is full of grapefruit like citrus, from quite a distance away. Very nice nose to this. A cool and refreshing flavor all throughout. Medium body to it. Lingering citrus peel like bitterness. Hit the spot on a hot day. Very nice IPA here.

Draught at Haymaker, 6/11/17.
Pale golden, clear, small, white head showing moderately-low retention.
Fairly fruity hops in the nose overtake the bare, cracker and biscuit-like malts but it isn’t heavily citrusy nor resinous, thankfully. Obviously an American-style pilsner and the fruitiness gets a bit much (strong nectarine and light kumquat) though the beer seems to be clean and there is no alcohol noted.
Dry, yet with a malty enough presence, engaging carbonation and a crisp, lightly grainy finish replete with spicy, fruity hops redolent of nectarine, black pepper, wintergreen and even apple. Light wax and saccharine on the very end, barely. Clean enough, no alcohol, easy-drinking.
