A: The beer is very hazy pale yellow in color. It poured with a short white head that quickly settled down, leaving a thin collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of blackberry are present in the nose along with notes of mango and pineapple
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional notes of pear. There is a light to moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer starts off with lots of berry-like aromas and flavors but once it begins to warm up it becomes more tropical in nature.
Serving type: can

A: Poured from the can into a Tree House tulip. Body is hazy dark golden with no head whatsoever.
S: Tropical fruit-based hops - think pineapple, but also something more dank and green - think weed and pine needles.
T: Wow - a lot more bitter than I was expecting, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, as so many of the juicy NE IPAs are quite sweet. . . . I get pineapple, citrus (grapefruit peel), limes, fresh-squeezed pine needles and pine resin, and fresh-cut grass. Overwhelmingly bitter at first, but as the palate adjusts, it eases up.
M: Doesn't give the impression of being "juicy" - I think because of the bitterness. Call it medium in weight.
O: Torn on this one . . . I think it's just a tad too bitter for me, but YMMV.

Tap can direct from the source
Canned 9/10/2021...so yeah its a freshie
Nice looking fully hazed up NEIPA pour, under a sturdy and long lasting 1/2 inch cap...leaves some loose and slippery lacing on the glass
Mild ripe tropical fruit sniff, with mango and light lime coming forward
This is a delicious offering, well crafted and well worth seeking out.....soft on the palate and subtly flavorful with a load of ripe tropical fruit notes abounding....melon, pineapple, mango, stone fruits, and lime all joining in on the fun....compares with the heavy hitters of the style - well done captain....go get some
