Let’s face it, sometimes things just get weird. For us it happened when we learned that the hops we needed for our next beer were abducted by aliens. Our brewer wasted no time and jumped into action, going after them like Buck Rogers!
Unfortunately, he’s now curled up in the corner of the brewery in the fetal position rocking back and forth like a child. So, for the sake of our brewer and his sanity we hope you enjoy this juicy IPA of Mosaic, Enigma and Hallertau Blanc hops that glows with an orange hue; tasting of tropical fruit, rockmelon and citrus, before a mild earthly finish of lemongrass

Such a strong bitter finish of grapefruit pith. As hazy as anything you will find

This is a very good NE style IPA. It really reminds me of a milkshake style IPA. NE style IPA is most likely my favorite category right now and this one is as good as any ive had. I had this poured out of a 16oz can and into a tulip.
It smelled a lit loke grapefruit amd citrusy. The taste and finish was very similar to a mango milkshake IPA i had from ebergy city. I would buy this every single time i saw it and especially if im in the mood for a ridiculously hazy and juicy IPA.

Canned 9/24/18; drank 10/16/18 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque orange/yellow appearance.
A violent pour yielded a nice off-white head; a thick curtain of lace.
Dry grass, wheat & orange peel notes in the nose.
Medium thick mouthfeel.
Orange peel & wheat flavors up front; dry, bitter grass notes on the finish.
Too dry & not fruity enough for the "New England-style" IPA they're advertising.

Pours a murky mustard yellow with a finger of white foam. Aroma is orange, papaya and tangerine with biscuit and toasted malts behind. Flavor profile is orange, tangerine, papaya, and clementine. There is light biscuit malts. Mouth feel is fizzy and lightly chalky. Overall, pretty good, but rather chalky for a good NE IPA.
Served in a 12oz snifter from a 16oz can. Reviewed on the phone.
