8.5
Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 10 | Overall - 8

Poured from a 16 oz can. Aroma is very hop forward with lots of tropical fruit juice notes, some citrus, hints of dank resin. Some pineapple, peach an outer stone fruit. Medium light cracker malt notes and a bit of wheat. Pours a very hazy, murky, pale golden straw color with a medium large, thick, white head that recedes steadily to a thin film that lingers for a bit. Medium lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with medium light cracker malt notes an a bit of wheat. Medium high bitterness with a faint alcohol note. Lots of hop flavors with citrus, tropical fruit and stone fruit. A light dank, resinous note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a very nice NE IPA. Lots of hop aromas and flavors. Nice to see someone canning these in Northern California.

On tap at Beer Revolution. It pours black with a large brown head. The aroma is sweet with cream and chocolate. The flavor doesn’t have much roasted malt, but lots of rich chocolate, heavy cream and coffee. Not too sweet though, which separates this one above most other lactose stouts. Very creamy mouthfeel. Pretty crushable actually. Loved this.

750 ml growler. Thanks, snuffy. The beer is a glowy yellow-tannish orange color. It’s completely clouded through and looks heavy with unfiltered goodness. Smallish white head, a bit soapy, but it is a growler pour. The aroma is wonderfully juicy, full of fruity hop flavor. Big tropical flavor with sweet stone fruit and citrus. Pineapple, peach, tangerine, melon, kiwi, lime. Really, really nice, particularly as it warms up and more flavor emerges. Nice mineral/yeast note. Full and juicy taste. Brimming with more of those fruity hop flavors. Mild bitterness. I could understand wanting a smidge more, but I like it. Fair bit of astringency, which I really like in these New England-style/English yeast IPAs. Reminds me of some Hoof Hearted beers. I would love to see this brewery make more beers like this and see them in cans.
