22 ounce bomber, 16 ounce shaker pint.
A - Clear golden color with a finger thick foamy near white head.
S - Big time citrus, grapefruity hop smell. Some earthy tones in there as well.
T - Taste is definitely hoppy, but also has a nice balance. A nice earthy flavor comes through with sweeter malts, all while allowing the citrusy hops to come to the forefront. A nice tea like finish/aftertaste cleans up in the end.
M - Fairly light bodied, but it really works here with lively carbonation.
D - No complaints here. Some nice hop flavors, nice hop bitterness, and a decent malt bill to back it. A nice IPA overall.
Notes: Always exciting to see another reknowned brewery hit NJ. This one is definitely for the hopheads, but is still nice and drinkable. Could be a nice quenching IPA for the summer months.

355 ml bottle, from Fakta Hirtshals. BB date is hard to read, but probably 25.03.2014. Slightly hazy deep golden to amber colour, moderate to low head, slightly off-white. Strong and unpleasant aroma of stale orange marmalade and rotting fruits and vegetables. Distinctly hoppy and resinous flavour, better than the aroma, not too sweet, with a solid bitterness in the finish.
