Ridiculously hazy golden and raw honey coloured body with a very tall, five to six centimetre tall off-white and tan head, all atop a very hazy, glowing orange-juice tinted, about ninety-five per cent opaque glow - very nice looking. Aroma of bright citrus fruits, fresh-cut grass, hay, flowers, dank and resinous sweetness with a slight hint of alcohol in the nose, too. Medium-bodied; Rich citrusey flavours dominate with grapefruit, tangerine, mangoes and a touch of papaya/melons towards the end, with a good malt backbone, but better sweetness that hits almost perfectly, with all the fructose coming through and only a dash of alcohol noticeable. Aftertaste is very robust, but very easy-drinking, fruity and lightly grassy with a mild herbal quality, but a good hit of malt and some noticeable alpha acid bitterness towards the end, but this is definitely new school. Overall, a very nice, true New England IPA (imperial-ish) from New England that hits the fruit almost perfectly , the sweetness nicely and the alcohol is super-hidden, in a great way. This is much better than the 'regular' hipster and great to try and find. Very nice to have super fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 21-December-2020 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 26-January-2021.

Hazy light golden and raw honey coloured body with a sort of pale straw coloured tint, all with a tall, rich four to five centimetre tall off-white head and about ninety per cent opacity. Aroma of crisp, dry flowers and fresh cut grass with some light citrus fruits noticeable and a hint of pepper, too, but no real sweetness, malt or alcohol detected. Light-bodied; Crisp, very grassy and floral profile at first that shows some grassy and tea-like notes with a dash of mango fruit is here as well, with a more noticeable floral and perfumey hop bit closer to the end, but again, no real malt is detected. Aftertaste is crisp, clean, dry herbal and fragrant, with some light bitterness and alpha acids coming through and a soft, fruity citrus fruit profile, but way more fresh-cut grass and dry notes compared to those associated with New England IPAs. Overall, a nice enough beer, but I was expecting more from a real New England producer, but this was average, albeit nice to try, especially fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 21-December-2020 for US$4,69 sampled at my house here in Washington on 14-January-2021.

Pours hazy dark yellow into an English pint. Bright white head with good retention top hats and recedes to meringue surface. Dusty pith and mango peel aromas. Soft with sweet lemon joy, pine and pith front to back. Lasting dusty earthy pith finish.

Both aromas and flavors are citrus and pine resin hops with some pale malt. Flavors also are sweet upfront with growing bitter. Kind of bitter for a hazy. Decent carbonation and finish.

Don't know why this beer is scoring so poorly. The romas are very fresh citruswith a little bit of melon hops and some pale malt. Flavors are very much like nose, and great balance between sweet, bitter and carbonation. Juicy. Very good body and finish. Drink the hell out of it.

The aromas are lime, malt and some spice. Flavors are like nose, sweet tart with good carbonation and a hint of salt in the finish. Okay beer but nothing special. Bought online but will not do again.
