"Tropical fruit notes.Straw colored with a hazy glow. Pineapple and Cantaloupe are dominant characteristics. This beer finishes with a slight tartness.

Pint can dated 10/10/23; served in a tapered pint glass. Frothy milkshake appearance, extremely turbid. Aroma of sweet pineapple. Flavor has a more assertive hop bitterness. Still fresh and juicy, but the taste has much more classic pine bitterness, typical of a conventional Double IPA. This is a really delicious New England IPA!

Pours a hazy pale yellow with a frothy off white head that leaves trails of lace.

Smells delicate fruit and floral notes lemon apricot and fresh baked bread.

Fruity earthy hops with a slight malt bread backbone.

Pours a deeply hazy dulled lemon gold topped with a finger or so of creamy white head; retention is very good.
Huge pineapple, grapefruit, malt sweetness, tangerine, juicy fruit.
Dank and juicy... grapefruit, pineapple, and mango. Mild melon and more citrus.
M/O Another super drinkable juice bomb from Fiddlehead. Great flavor... super beer.
