Great beer, easy to drink, tastes a bit lemoney and not too hoppy. I agree with the other reviews however that it is not much of an IPA, still fantastic though.

Poured slowly into a 13 oz Weyerbacher tulip glass not sure when it was canned. Pours a sliggtly hazy straw yellow with a 2 inch fluffy white head that leaves behind some attractive thin lines of lace.

Smell lemon, mango, coriander, pine, biscuit, and grapefruit.

Taste follows lemon, mango, biscuit, coriander, pine, and grapefruit.

Mouthfeel is a tad thin, a lot of carbonation, a little dry, and drinkable enough.

Overall pretty underwelmed with this one, more like a hoppy Belgian than a New England Style IPA.

12oz undated can.

Pours clear light yellow with a haze. Nice head and good retention. Aromatics are light on the hops with hints of lime, peach, and faint grapefruit. Thin bodied with a watery mouthfeel. Mild notes of citrus pith and peach fuzz on the palate. Dry with a mild bitterness. Finishes quick with faint citrus.

Tasty beer but not an IPA or muchly NE style for that matter. Quite watered down with minimal hops and drinks like 4% not 7. Closer to a hoppy blonde.

Ok for an IPA. Maybe a stretch going with New England style IPA. I get lots of floral notes and a bit of a spicy taste. I see little of the hazy that I associate with NE IPA's.

Can from a Lazy Dog.
Fairly clear light golden color with a huge rocky head that persists. Lemony citrus and mango with a fair amount of grassy notes and some restrained bready maltiness. Light alcohol note in the finish. Not bad, but not overly cloudy or tropical fruity or creamy like I would expect from a "New England IPA"
