Canned on 1-28-19. Hazy appearance. Aroma is decent citrus, mild grass, soft yeast. Flavor is the same. Good amount of juice. Mosaic or galaxy must be used with this level of grassiness. Nice but overhyped.

Can. Medium violet in color. Flavor has a decent amount of blackberries that last through the sip. Sourness / tartness level is on the medium to strong side. Overall, for the style is is about what you would expect. Sourheads may like it a tad more than I do.

16 oz. can. Bright hazy yellow color. Flavor has weak tartness, mild floral and a nice crisp texture. Overall, simple and easy to drink; rustic character.

16 oz. can. Was surprised at the 8.1. Drinks much easier. Aroma has grapefruit and light grass clippings. The mosaic hops and grapefruit flavor is equally balance. Neither overwhelms. Bitterness mild with a slight juice character. Enjoyed this more than the base brew.

A older take on the New England IPA style. ( Heady Topper-ish )Aroma shows pineapple chunks and various tropical fruits. The flavor has the fruit but also a danky herbal character. Grassy and marijuana hints. Also some floral character. Layers of hop flavors. Bitterness is sturdy and balances the fruit. Quite the IPA! The best I sampled from this brewery.

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.
