Dated 01.18.19. Hazed unfiltered gold look. Hop and Fruit aroma mates with taste including a back of the palate IBU bite and feel. The name fits the brew. Have one..........

Poured from 22oz bomber into a tulip. There's a spot for a bottled-on day to be printed, but there's no date there, so I guess we're rollin' the dice here!
Appearance: super-duper hazy, milky body with an orange hue, and a finger of frothy ivory foam atop. Fills the bill for a hazy IPA!
Smell: big fruity aromas; tropical and a bit citrusy, there's plenty of juicy aroma here. There's something aromatic here that reminds me of fresh latex paint -- and somehow, it's not a bad thing. Bodacious.
Taste: the juice is loose! Admittedly, it's hard to determine what fruit the juice is from, but let's go with ... hops? It's kind of grassy, along with a bit of a mango-ey fruity flavor. I really like it.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a good carbonation and a very nice creaminess indeed. For an IPA, it's really wonderful.
Overall: this beer ticks all the boxes for me. Although the flavor is more "miscellaneous hop character" than any particular fruit, it really works exceedingly well for my palate. Outstanding!

This beer has a gorgeous yellow haze to it, its cloudiness as mysterious as it is inviting. It has a delicate flavor that seems to be Massachusetts standard for IPAs: sweet without recalling any specific fruits, though this brand of sweetness might be a bit closer to peach and pear than to pineapple or mango.

Pours a very hazy orange yellow with a nice inch plus head that leaves plenty of thick foamy lace on the sides of the glass, with some very solid retention. 4.5
Smell is papaya, tangerine, passionfruit, pineapple, and just a hint of grapefruit. 4.5
Taste follows tropical front to back with papaya, pineapple, tangerine, and passionfruit dominating with a subtle hit of grapefruit in the amazingly balanced finish. 4.5
Mouthfeel is a little bigger than medium, just the right soft carbonation, juicy but slightly sticky from all the fresh hops, and at 8.2% ABV it is dangerously approachable. 4.75
Overall I just really loved this beer, just exactly what you want in a NEDIPA. A friend gave me this and I want more!

Very Good DIPA. Somehow the distribution makes it's way to central/northern Vermont. I like it
