On tap at Lord Hobo in Boston, MA, pours bright gold color with a 1 finger off white head that faded average time and left decent lacing.

Smells and tastes of caramel, orange, pineapple, gummy bears candy, mango, brown sugar, sweet malt, piney hops, grapefruit, graham cracker, toffee and rum soaked grains which to me always come from using a ton of hops. The bitterness cuts the sweetness and hides the ABV, making this easier to drink than it should be. Overall pretty tasty and easy to drink, a real nice IPA.

Poured from a squealer into a Spigleau IPA glass.

Bright, vibrant gold appearance with plenty of carbonation. Not transparent but definitely filtered. Look great.

Light aroma of pineapples.

Soft pineapples followed by understated but pleasant resin that lingers but not aggressively so. Terrific mouthfeel.

Overall, it's a really, really awesome IPA. I wish it didn't signify a shutdown but the beer itself is excellent. I hope this is in the rotation when they're back.
