Pours an unfiltered, murky burnt orange with a golden hue. Looks like a New England-style IPA.

Smell consists of candied and juicy mango, pineapple, papaya, grapefruit, and tangerine. Slight pine in the background. Very sweet and somewhat nutty malt presence.

Taste takes a 180 on the aroma. Pine is more at the forefront with a background of juicy tropical (mango, pineapple, papaya) and citrus fruits (grapefruit and tangerine). The juicy fruits start to come through more as it warms. A slight yeastiness to it as well. A much dryer finish than anticipated.

Medium body with a somewhat creamy and oily mouthfeel.

If the taste on this was more in line with the juicy and fruity aroma, I would like this even more. Nevertheless, a very good IPA that is definitely diggable as the title says.

5oz sample at the brewery.

Pours slightly hazy, smell is hollow citrus. Taste is floral, honey, citrus, hop resin. Light and very dry. Overall, pretty good.

2014 vintage; drank 12/31/14 @ the Yarchives.

Hazy light orange hue.

Big, fluffy white head; frothy lace.

Grapefruit, pine & fresh soap nose.

Medium thin mouthfeel.

Grapefruit & fresh soap up front; wheat notes on the overly dry finish.

Too bitter for me; a drinkable session brew but nothing special.

Solid IPA here - and on the reasonable ABV side too at 6%. Good color, aromas, and taste, and strongly leans to the pine-grass, with some tropical fruits in the background. Good, but not exceptional, mouth feel on this one. Well done IPA - an all around hitter that will appeal to most folks.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.25
Look: Pours a hazy orange like pulpy orange juice with minimal head that sticks around for half a pint
Smell: Citrus fruit, Orange, grapefruit, Citra definitely makes itself known
Taste: Orange, Mango, Citrus matches smell nicely. Substantial flavor for such a light IPA that leaves you wanting more.
Feel: Light and pleasant. Cloying stickiness really brings beer up a notch.

Overall: Crushable but still flavorful. Dare I say this is perfect summer can drinking. Here's hoping this becomes a more regular offering. Worth seeking out, especially if you want flavor without ABV. Cheers to Spiteful!
