LOUD! is obnoxiously dry-hopped with our loudest hops and screams with juicy tropical notes of mango, pineapple, and pine with a lusciously smooth mouthfeel.

Very good NE IPA from the left coast!!!! Poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass, this beer featured a slightly hazy gold color and a big foamy white head with good retention and lots of lacing. A good looking beer!!!
Aroma and taste include the signature NE "dankness", some mild bitterness up front and plenty of fruit. The finish included some stronger piney hops presence and a good hops "bite" not seen in many NE IPAs. Overall, the mouthfeel was crisp and smooth up to the end when more robust hoppiness kicked in. I really enjoyed this beer.

Light colored body. Super citrusy on the nose, orange, mango, sweet and tropical. Tastes much the same, tropical flavors abound, followed by a creamy sweetness that isn’t overbearing. Medium carbonation, with semi dry finish. Easy drinker.

18 oz can (“canned 05/20/21”) poured into a compostable plastic cup poolside at the Claremont Hotel (Berkeley, CA). Moderately hazy golden yellow with a lush head of white foam and spotty lacing. Mixed aromas of orange citrus, tropical fruit and dank hops. Flavor follows with more orange citrus, mango, pineapple, soft sweetness, and pleasantly bitter pine needles and resin. Medium body with a creamy smooth feel and moderate fine carbonation. Deceptively smooth for its higher ABV, well balanced, lush and drinkable, juicy but still hoppy.

Pours a hazy yellow with a thick white cap that leaves decent lacing. Aroma is bold with a blend of citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor follows the nose with sweet fruit in front and a piney hop bite in the finish. Feel is medium bodied with light carbonation. Overall a fine beer.

Usually not a fan of Almanac but this beer is good. Just enough fruit to add flavor but not be too sweet. Little boozyness, some coriander, and the hops come through. It did have an odd aftertaste, almost like prunes but it didn't completely sully the experience.

was surprised this beer was from a California brewery. This hazy dipa tasted as good as many dipa beers I've had from the east coast. Hazy golden appearance, lovely citrus smell filled with pineapple mango, taste not too bitter delicious. Ive had many NEDIPA's this year and this is definitely in top 5

Pours an orange-gold, not opaque just semi hazy. 2 inch head, nice lacing. good carbination, lots of sediment in the pour. No real nose and an indistinct, light nose. Taste of generic citrus and pineapple. Nothing stands out. It hides the booze of a double well, but nothing makes me want to buy this again.

Nice dull golden hazy with a decent white head from pounder can. Citrus based nose with some sweetness and a pineapple back. Actually really flavorful, not overly sweet and citric with just a little bite on the end. Familiar tasty profile. Enough carbonation and a medium feel. This is what you want, good stuff.
