Juicy IPA that features fruit (orange, mango, and apricot) notes in aroma and taste. Low to no bitterness though plenty hoppy, so true to style. Fruit notes mask the high ABV well.

Good carbonation and mouthfeel. Creamy and textured on the palate with a soft finish.

 

 

Decanted from a 16 oz (473 ml) can into a Sam Adams Perfect Pint; canned 08/27/21.
A: Pours an opaque, dark orange color with solid carbonation, leaving a one to two finger, off white head, more than rim retention, and broad bands of lacing.
S: Significant herbal note up front, dry basil/oregano. Aromas of orange citrus, apricot, caramel, corn, and barley.
T: Semisweet. Fruit flavors and caramel reprise themselves on the palate with quite a bit of caramel, corn, and barley grains part of the melange, providing a balance with the solid bitterness.
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
O: Enjoyable, easy to drink, a solid NEIPA from Kane.

 

Off-white, almost orangish tan head, little under two fingers crest, thick sheet of soapy residue on the glass. Good brightness to the liquid but it’s the same boring apricot juice look, note to self it seems no one cares any longer about the visuals. Smells like you walked into a marijuana dispensary, dank and damp, pine and peppercorns, tangerine to grapefruit citrus, the guava, mango, peach scents not overwrought, albeit hard for anything to be in the face of the potent ganga scent. Medium-bodied and close to full due to the strong expansive creaminess. Carbonation keeps the fluff going deep into the finish. The herbaceousness tempered some by the texture but still the major component. Notes of whipped cream and orange creamsicle enrich the flavor palate, arguably more floral than piney. Mango, guava to peach, apricot, maybe some cherry, much more juiciness than bite. Given how it fills the mouth up does have good drinkability. Preferred it closer to ice cold than nearing room temperature, added brightness. (Canned 1/13/21)

 

Pours an opaque deep mango color with a long lasting white foamy/creamy head, Smell is orange,some grains,mild fresh cut grass.Taste is orangeade, grapefruit pith,dark bread, Feels a tad bit chewy, almost thick.Well carbonated. Overall this is a good New England style IPA.

 

Appearance: Pours cloudy and honey colored with a one finger head; good retention and splashes of lace

Smell: Papaya, kiwi, lime and orange tones

Taste: Papaya forward with the kiwi and lime emerging; in the middle the bitterness builds, bringing orange citrus and pith tones; moderately high levels of bitterness in the back

Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied and slightly creamy; moderate carbonation

Overall: An unusual blend of tropical flavors with a good degree of bitterness in the finish

Thanks, The_Kriek_Freak, for the opportunity

A - Opaque tan gold with medium hue.

S - Pineapple, papaya, guava, and overall very tropical "fruity" on the nose.

T - Pineapple, guava, papaya, and finishes on the fruity sweeter side with a tropical fruity finish.

M - Thick and pillowy soft with a dry finish on the palate.

O - The ABV is completely well hidden in this beer.

Can to snifter. Happy hour tasting with the wife of 6 IPA's on a belated IPA Day celebration.

LOOK: medium hazy yellow, above average white head, lacing, excellent retention
AROMA: light citrus and palm, touch of grass, lacking strength
TASTE: orange, malty base, lemon, wood, light touch of hairspray
FEEL: light to medium body, OK carbonation, smooth sipping,

Slightly disappointed in this based off the description, and surprised I had never had this before. Maybe I have, but forgot to rate it. The best of this group by just a touch.
