The beer pours a nice white and creamy head that actually takes a while to dissipate. The beer itself is an opaque and cloudy yellow with a bit of an orange hue to it. It, like very other NE IPA, looks like orange juice.

The smell is pretty good. It has a light pine smell in addition to the more dominant orange note with a mango to it.

The taste follows the smell but with slightly more bitterness to it.

The feel is good. It has a medium heavy body to it with a bit of carbonation that makes it tingly. The feel is smooth and juicy with a dry finish to it.

Overall, another NE IPA. It's good and worth getting if it's available.

A: The beer is hazy light yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head.
S: Light to moderate aromas of mangos and stone fruits are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has flavors of tropical fruit hops without any associated bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation. No crispness is present and there is a bit of "juiciness".
O: With the lack of bitterness and juicy nature of the mouthfeel this could be considered as a New England-style APA.
