The syncopated rhythm of fruit-froward Hazy yeast and new-school hops pump the volume on a style that's uniquely American. The latest and greatest hop mix hits soft on the palate, but loud in tropical pineapple, stonefruit, and citrus.

12oz from the mixed IPA pack

Unfiltered, hazy with chunks. The smell is lemon-lime along with tons of pineapple. Boozy with a silky and milky feel and plenty of orange/pineapple citrus hops. It's too sweet and reminds me of pure honey.

Pours out of the can a foreseeable hazy golden-orange with a finger of head with little retention. Smells dank and fruity, specifically grapefruit. Taste follows the nose, but in addition a slight dryness on the back end and some pine notes as well. Really a solid hazy for sure

This beer releases the titans of aroma right out of the can!! Dated Dec 22’ glad to get this one a little fresher. The look is cloudy but clear enough to see through, it almost betrays the feel and flavor which are remarkable. Big points just for hop choice here; nectaron, Nelson, & Zappa, wrapped with citra to add the lemon twist. Really an inspired brew and awesome to see this kind of hazy in wide distribution with soul hero, another outstanding beer. Really a worthwhile variety case this season!!!!!

Picked-up as part of a mixed twelve-pack at Bradford's in Plymouth for about seventeen dollars. My fifth brew reviewed from these guys. Canned on date of 12/28. Very good.

Canned on 11-29-22. 12oz can poured into a tulip.

Pours a hazy yellowish golden; fluffy white head that fades leaving solid retention and sticky lacing. It looks like your typical hazy IPA.

The aromas have a nice blend of citrus and tropical fruits. Some fresh bread. Malts are there.

The flavors basically follow the nose. Some pineapple, orange, grapefruit, and apricot leading the way. Some pine along with some fresh grass. Solid bitterness. Moderate sweetness. Malts do their thing. Finishes clean and juicy but also has a dryness to it. Alcohol is well hidden.

Mouthfeel is very nice. It's medium-bodied with active carbonation. It's crisp, sharp, spritzy, fluffy, and smooth.

This is a solid hazy IPA. It's very clean, crisp, and refreshing. The craftsmanship is on point and takes this one to the next level. Not bad at all.
