A: The beer is murky brownish yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a short head covering the surface and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of grapefruit and lychee are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell but has stronger flavors or grapefruit and lychee along with notes of gooseberry and orange. Only a slight amount of bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The combination of aromas and flavors in this beer aren't quite as interesting compared to other beers in style, but the magnitude of hops in the smell and taste and the juicy mouthfeel make it a good representation of a NEIPA.

Citra & Amarillo hops
It’s difficult to create a NEIPA that stands up to the rest of the competition in the central/eastern parts of MA. This is a very good option, it’s very fresh and available on tap or cans. Very faint sweet scent, flavor is flat, not overwhelming fruit flavored, color is hazy honey/marigold appearance, fairly thin, surprisingly refreshing, sorry, that’s all I have!!!

Poured from a 16 ounce can into an IPA style glass. The head is thin, kind of fizzy. Body of the beer is apricot in color, semi opaque. The aroma is mildly fruity. The first sip has some citrus overtones, muted hops. The mouthfeel is a bit thin. Overall not as good as some of the other NE IPAs that are brewed in the state.
