L - Poured from a fresh crowler into a tulip glass. Exactly what you're expecting out of Shaun and out of a NE Style IPA! Bright orange, hazy, with a thick, white head that bursts with citrus notes.
S - Tons of citrus and tropical fruit come screaming off of the head of this beer. Grapefruit, pineapple, orange, mango all have a presence here. It smells like a giant bouquet of very fresh fruit.
T - Follows up the nose of this beer perfectly. Citrus fruit peels and tropical notes dominate your palate with just enough bite on the end to keep you wanting more!
F - This is probably the best mouth feel offering from Ram yet, it's right up there with, if not better than, Juicy. Exactly what you think when you compare it to a Treehouse IPA (thicker, fruity milkshake feel).
O - What else needs to be said? Shaun is killing the game with this style and this offering is right up there with the big boys to compete for the best NE Style IPA to come out of the Midwest! Excellent job!

Had this yesterday. Some bitterness, but the Citra shines through. Love the beer and excited to try it from the Crowler.
My only complaint - I wish they hadn't put it on Nitro. Just doesn't work for this type of beer to me.

Had on tap on release day. Super hazy bright orange appearance even in low lighting. Super pungent citrus fruit nose that actually got better as it warmed up. Taste follows the nose with a nice subtle hop bite and good finish. Yet another solid NE IPA from Shaun. He is easily the most consistent and at this style coming out of Chicago area!

Cloudy golden color with 1/2 white head poured in a ram snifter, minimal lacing.
Melon , grass and a little musk on the nose.
Taste pretty much follows the smell, grass, melon, lemon peel and a little cracked pepper.
Decent mouth feel, a little prickly on the carbonation and a dry finish.
Overall a really good take on a New England style IPA and a nice compliment to Juicy and Morning Fog. Shaun really keeps a nailing it.
