From a 16 oz. can dated 05/05/21. Sampled June 19, 2021.

It pours yellow-orange underneath a modest, lacing-leaving cream colored head.

The aroma is pine, herbal, bready, papery, and a little stale after 8 weeks. Some slight booze.

Medium albeit smooth mouthfeel.

The taste is at first sweet but then the fading hops and malt characters linger on the palate. Maybe it would have been better if it was really, really fresh. Although eight weeks seems a short time to fade out.

Pours a translucent golden color with a fluffy head and a moderate amount of lacing.

Smells of grassy, floral hops and pineapple.

Tastes of first hops and then pineapple and mango. There is a slightly bitter finish.

Medium body with light carbonation. Clean dry mouthfeel.

This is a very drinkable hop forward NEIPA.

16oz. can served in a Spiegelau tulip. Pours a dull, orange-yellow with a slight haze to the clarity and a loose, quarter inch, off-white head that slowly dissipates. Nose expresses citrus zest, pith and herbal notes. Taste consistent with nose; however, malty backbone enhances those characteristics. Mouthfeel is light-medium with an assertive carbonation. Overall, a solid DIPA but I prefer the original iteration.

In my mind this is the perfect double IPA. Too many double IPAs tend to be extremely sweet or boozy tasting. This is neither. It's well attenuated, but not too dry; there's just enough sweetness to balance out this beers massive bitterness.

The aroma features classic west coast ipa dank pine and grape fruit notes from chinook hops. Galaxy hops provide the citrus and tropical fruit aromas of this beer.

Taste follows suit with the aroma's of the hops, however there's a nice bit of biscuity and crackery garins not found in many east coast double ipas.

This IPA is truly a perfect blend of new and old school IPAS. Hugely aromatic and dank not too fruity. Not outrageously sweet, but not bone dry either. Alcohol flavor isn't present which is a feat at 8% I drank this room temp too. An extremely approachable DIPA. Seek out if you find it, it may not be unusual, but it's pitchperfect with no flaws.

My "Bro" Artied2 mentioned that he recently had this and quite enjoyed it. So I snagged a single 16oz can today at The Beer Store in Nashua ($4.50). Can markings indicate a canning date of 18JUL19. Yahd work now done, it's bier time out in The 'Zebo....

Poured into my trusty Smutty snifter, it's a slightly hazy, medium golden brew. Has slow, scattered carbo and a fluffy white layer of foam which leaves good lacing. Nice has some nice whiffs of apricot, mango and tangerine. The body is a good medium to medium-plus but it has a touch more prickle on the tongue than I prefer. Still a decent feel.

Taste follows the aroma, with a healthy dollop of sweetish fruit. Has more tangerine, mango, apricot, and a touch of pineapple. Sweeter, fruitier, and less bitter than Be Hoppy, though boozier, imo. All that citrus lingers very nicely in the somewhat dry finish. Solid!! Good call, Bro!! Prosit!!

Poured into a 13 oz Funk Teku glass canned on 7/31/19. Pours a slightly cloudy orange with a massive 3 finger head that leaves massive thick rings of wavy lace, with some very nice retention as it slowly settles. 4.5

Smell is big apricot, orange peel, mango, and grapefruit rind. 4

Taste follows bitter and tropical tangerine, mango, apricot, and grapefruit not insanely bitter but East meets West and really nice. 4

Mouthfeel is big, slightly sticky and slightly dry, and at 8% leaves its mark, but rather approachable. 4.25

Overall a nice beer on $11 a 4 pack and will gladly revisit. 4

cord from a brand new keg less than a mile from the brewery. It had a very pretty hazy orangish amber color. The smell was fragrant and sweet with very clear orange and citrus notes. The Taste was a little bit too harsh at the first sip but that numbed my taste buds to the second sip which was acceptable. A very champagne like highly bubbly feel. All in all not mind blowing but very nice.
