Fresh can, undated, drunk 1/16/19.
Heavily hazy, bronze-maize-golden with a small, off-white head that fades steadily to a ring.
Juicy, for sure, in the nose, though with lots of dough, cracker and biscuit and a bit of pine to go along with it. Not one of the softer, glass of orange juice IPAs I've smelled, but it's fine. Tons of orange, lime, mango and tangerine with less base malt character (no big honey is what's missing here, if you like that sort of thing). Yeast is fruity and shows minimal bubble gum-like character. Light sharpness on the end from alcohol.
In the mouth it's cracker-forward with moderate juiciness and still a good amount of pine and grapefruit. Not as soft in texture as I'd like, though it's reasonably well-attenuated and tightly carbonated. Just a bit crusty/bready/crackery without enough supple honey-like base malt character and more pine and light alcohol than I'd like. Still, it's a competent orange juice IPA, I suppose.

Pours hazy straw into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Pineapple and citrus aromas. Soft with mango skin and pineapple skin upfront turning to bitter pith in the lasting finish.

Combination rate draft taster pour at NH Brewfest and can pour from Total Wine & More, Shrewsbury. Appearance is mildly hazy bright, highlighter yellow with fine, pulpy, white particulates, light sparkle, finger-width foamy white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is a ton of grapefruit, herb and a bit of pine and citrus. Taste is strong grapefruit and orange with pine and hint of herb with some alcohol. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, very strong flavors with some decent complexity out of the mosaic hops.

Sample during the "New England Beer & Food Tasting" on 07/14/2018. The beer is a slightly hazy orange-amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. Aroma of herbal hops, fruit and malt. Medium body with flavors of citrusy hops, pine and earthy malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

Pours a nice Golden from a can. Big tropical fruit aroma. Not sure if there’s Vic secret in this, but it seems like it’s got a little of that sweat sock in here too. Good aroma and flavor. Pretty good beer.

Pours a nice hazy gold from a can, white head leaves some lacing. Lemongrass and hay aroma, similar flavor. Starts sweet but ends with a lot of bitterness, not unpleasant. Good beer.

Pours a slightly hazy, golden lemon yellow, with smallish head. Aroma has some grassiness and a lot of bread in it, along with some dankness, citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is very bready, too, with grass, citrus, tropical fruit, some pine/spruce hop bitterness. A very smooth beer, with just a touch of sweetness. Some bitterness to the finish. Pretty good!

This is a NEIPA done right! Pours a very hazy, orange-yellow (looks just like orange juice, imagine). Aromas of citrus and sour washcloth. Flavor is citrus, with a ton of pine/spruce hop bite. It's smooth, not overly sweet, with a very bitter finish. Really well-done beer.

16 oz. can purchased at 7-11 Kittery, ME. Dark brown color. Aroma is lightly roasted, weak pine, maybe earthy notes. I kept a open mind with the flavor at 4.5 percent ABV. I get the brewer was going for a light stout but this is borderline watery. Mild Bitterness with an earthy character.

16 oz. can. Lightly hazy yellow appearance, lacy soapy head. Flavor has decent citrus and light grass hints. Low bitterness, just a very light juicy character. Lighter in body but plenty drinkable.
