The Juice is Loose. Rochester Mills New England Style IPA was once a limited release but now is available year round. Juicy tropical fruit aromas and flavors with a subdued bitterness have been achieved from a considerable amount of Citra and Mosaic hops added to this brew. Enjoy the Haze.

Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a slightly hazy golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is full of tropical fruits. Taste is mild and has hints of mango, pineapple, oranges, mild bitterness. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer.

Pours a pale gold. Not really hazy so much as cloudy. Faint nose of generic fruit and botanic. Taste is fairly bland, with no one thing standing out. Good hops presence throughout, but I'm note sure this counts as a neipa.

Pours a hazy amber color with a foamy head that lasts quite a while. Aromas of tropical fruit and caramel. Tropical fruit flavor up front; a light bitterness at the end. Creamy and smooth.

Just another in a sea of hazy NEIPAs. Great name though.

Got this one from the Duvel guy in Utrecht.
From a 16oz can into a pint glass
IBU: 69
Best Before 9 April 2019
Hops: Citra and Mosaic
APPPEARANCE: Pours a 2+ finger, medium looking, foamy and fluffy white head with very good retention. Hazy amber orange with no real carbonation evident. Foamy head slowly fades to a foamy half cap and clings to the glass. Splotchy wisp remains until the end leaving touches of lacing down the glass. A slightly foamier head on this one.
SMELL: Tropical fruits, mango, pineapple and passion fruit, with notes of caramel and sweet honeydew melon on the nose. Bold enough for sure.
TASTE: Lots of tropical fruits and melon up front. Mango, passion fruit, pineapple, honeydew melon and caramel sweetness up front. More juicy flavor at the swallow with a bold and lingering finish of tropical fruits, pineapple and passion fruit, mango, melon, some bready malts and light hop bitterness as well. Flavorful and enjoyable.
PALATE: Medium body and medium levels of carbonation. Creamy and smooth on the palate, goes down smooth and finishes a touch dry. A bit of bitterness lingers.
OVERALL: This is really nice. The nose is plenty bold and fruity while the flavor profile definitely follows suit. Quite an enjoyable creation that I’d be happy to drink on a regular basis. Worth checking out if you’re a fan of the style. Cheers!

My first beer from these guys, the pour reveals a very hazy golden yellow beer with a bone white head.
The nose is filled with dank hop aromas ubiquitous to the Citra-Mosaic hop bombs that have been around for a few years (which I love), with juicy pineapple and tangy oranges leading, and an earthy herbal note that is intriguing.
Dank citrus flavors dominate the taste as well, led by the pineapple and oranges, and there’s a spicy passion fruit flavor as well. The mouthfeel is soft, per the style, but has a little bite, too.
Really nice example of the style, IMHO, glad I tried it and look forward to trying more from this sorta local brewery.
