These are grenades which will explode foam all over and make a mess if you try to open them. It's not cool. I would prefer to drink my beers instead of clean them up off of my hands, wrists, floor, and so on.

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a lightly hazed golden straw color with a small head of white foam. The head fades rather fast, leaving a touch of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is very light with just a hint of cracker malt and a touch of grapefruit and herb.
Taste – The taste starts out with a crisp cracker malt flavor paired with a moderate showing of grapefruit rind hop and a bit of pine. There is a touch of orange and peach sweetness upfront, which both fade over time. At the same time there is an increase in the hop and a bit of graininess and straw that develop at the end, and with a touch of lemon one is left with a crisp and clean taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is moderate in thickness and carbonation level. Both are great for the crisp nature of the brew and make for a nice sipper.
Overall – While I am certainly not a Pats fan, to whom this brew is looking to attract, the beer itself, I must say, is easy drinking and tasty. Not a super powerhouse, but good for what it is trying to be, a game day brew.

 

Sample at the NH Brewfest in Portsmouth 10/14/23. Pours a light gold color with a decent sized bubbly white head that persists. Seltzer like bubbles earthy spicy bready fruity.

 

 

 

 

Look: Very pale and cloudy. Looks like lemonade.
Smell: Fruity. Reminiscent of pine apple.
Taste: Perfect balance of bitterness and grain with lovely fruit flavors through out (lemon/grapefruit). A little more bitter than most similar beers which is a GOOD thing!
Feel: Medium body with a delightful bitter feel on the tongue.
Overall: A perfect example of the style (lower ABV New England IPA) It's perfect in every way!

Light, citrusy and refreshing.

 

 

Nice taste for a 5.4% IPA. Not quite as flavorful as the typical Hazy/NewEngland IPA but a good alternative when you don’t want the higher ABV. Love the look of the label, perfect for game day in New England.

 

Canned 2022/07/21, of course enjoyed during the game

Pours a frothy creamy 1 finger head with fair retention, soapy lacing, hazy semi cloudy orange color

Nose citrus, big vanilla cream and possibly lactose, candied apricots, little mango sorbet, lots of sweet candy fruit

Taste citrus and a bit of spicy green hops, mild tropical fruit, mango sherbet, hint of papaya, tangerine candy, apricot, orange citrus, sweet creamy malt, bit bitterness, dry finish with long lingering spicy green hops

Mouth is med bod, soft creamy, med carb

Overall not that great, most was super candy and vanilla lactose like, taste was very spicy green hop which is unpleasant

 

 

 

Pours a lemon yellow color with a short duration fluffy head. Aroma is rather non-descript. Nice, pleasant hoppiness without being juicy - a plus IMHO. This is actually 5.4% ABV and is an IPA, not a pale ale. It's pretty tasty and worth a try,

First of all, this beer is mislabeled here. It is an IPA, & the ABV is 5.4%. That being said, I really liked this. Picked-up a four-pack of cans at Bradford's in Plymouth for about fourteen dollars. My thirteenth brew reviewed from these guys.
