This can is a month old, but it was in the cooler when I bought it. Maybe I got a bad can, but this is nowhere near a Tree House beer, no idea why reviews keep comparing it to TH. Boozy sweetness all over it with hop burn, would not buy again.

 

 

 

 

a: hazy dark orange and copper color. some burnt yellow noes in here as well. frothy, white 2 finger head. nice looking brew

s: huge punch of pineapple, mango, passionfruit, guava, tangerine, and orange sorbet. some thick oat notes and a hint of red pepper. peach and clementines with some bready crackers at the end. extremely juicy and tropical aroma. not too sweet. fantastic aroma

t: oh baby this follows the nose. sweet pineapple, mango sorbet, sweet orange juice, and some faint melon. there is a noticeable oaty note, as well as some deep citrus sweetness. there is a touch of hop rawness in here though which helps to balance out that sweet hit. passionfruit and guava follow, as well as some peach juice. papaya and some sugary sweetness at the end with a hint of crackers

m: solid medium mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. a touch sticky

o: i think this is a fantastic beer. the nose and flavor on this have a great tropical complexity. it brings tropical, sweet, and a touch of rawness which provides excellent harmonization. this is called a NEIPA, but the can labels it as a DIPA, so i am rating this as a NEDIPA

Had on tap at the Brick Farm Tavern in Hopewell, NJ. Solid but unexceptional New England imperial IPA.

 

 

 

Poured from a 16oz can into pint glass in June 2022. There was a canned date of 05/02/2022 on the bottom of the can. I bought this at the brewery in Ardmore, and drank less than 1 month from purchase.

Appearance: Medium yellow color with a little orange. Had a huge 3-finger white head. It is deep with a very hazy complexion, like New England IPAs. The head is very thick, and it lasts a few minutes, leaving a 1-finger covering. There is a large amount of lacing on the glass.

Smell: Large aroma of citrus, pineapple, and pine aromas, as well as some hops. Also, some fruity aromas like orange and peach. The citrus, pineapple, and pine aromas are more prominent than the other aromas.

Taste: Some bitter taste from the hops that is not overpowering, along with a moderate fruit sweetness like pineapple. Also, some orange flavors. The sweetness and bitter edge are well-balanced. Has a very nice after-taste that lasts a moderate amount of time. Overall a nice balance and very drinkable.

Mouthfeel: Medium body. Above average alcohol, which matches the 8.6% listed.

This is a very good IPA. It has a nice mix of citrus, fruit, hops, and other flavors, which makes it enjoyable. I like the overall balance, and would buy this again. Another very good IPA from Tired Hands. Tired Hands along with Tree House are my favorite IPA brewers, and consistently provide high quality IPAs.
