16oz can poured into a snifter.
A: Amber/orange color with a good haze that is opaque, but not swampy. Fine-bubbled white head retains really well and sticks around at two fingers. Sheets of lacing.
S: Lots of underripe mango and pineapple. Freshly sliced orange wedges. Lighter tropical notes of kiwi and honeydew melon. Green and grassy, lightly floral.
T: Well-sugared ruby-red grapefruit up front. Freshly sliced orange. Almost a strawberry sort of juiciness. Mango. More delicate notes of kiwi and melon rind eventually make their way to the forefront. Grassy and very mildly herbal/spicy. Hop oils. Bitterness is extremely tame. Soft doughy and toasty malt notes underneath it all. Green and oily hop finish with a kiss of pine and some trailing tropical notes.
M: Medium-Full body. Round and creamy, almost chewy. There’s a definite sense of weight, but it’s well controlled and offset by a somewhat fluffy texture. Carbonation pricks stiffly at the tongue. Gentle hop astringency.
O: Great beer. Stupendously dry-hopped and bursting with citrusy-tropical goodness. It has depth too though. Slight hints of West Coast-style grapefruit and pine, and it drinks rather cleanly and easily for a big hazy beer. It’s a “best of all worlds” sort of IPA, and a true standout in an over-saturated Hazy IPA market.

Picked-up a four-pack of cans at Bradford's in Plymouth for about fifteen dollars. My twentieth brew from these guys. My can says 8.6% ABV. This was excellent, will get again.

Golden hazy orange color. Little bit of honey with more pineapple than grapefruit, but still a beautiful subtle bitterness. Very approachable for a 9.5% triple. Creamy off-white head and carbonation is perfect.

Served in a tulip glass from a 16oz can.
Appearance: Cloudy pale gold color with medium bubbles to the body with a subtle head rising maybe half of a finger's length. Drops after one sip with light stickiness to the top of the lip of the glass.
Smell: Floral aroma which is light to begin with doused with citrus skin. Descent smell but lacks potency.
Taste: Deep smooth bitter beer and another feel of yellow grapefruit with malts galore. Smooth yet addicting.
Mouth: Medium body with a soft carbonation. Comes off sticky but a little dry.
Overall: Good brew and definitely would love to buy it again. Mellow and complex all at once. Salud!

Pours a hazy orange with a medium head.
Hoppy citrusy aroma on opening. Tastes of citrus primarily. Lightly bitter finish. The alcohol content is not evident. Medium body and carbonation.
A very drinkable NE IPA!
Nov 2020 update: Opened an Oct 2019 can. Now I get a citrus and dank hop aroma. The bitter finish is diminished and citrus and pineapple tastes are more prominent. syrupy mouthfeel. I would say that it it aged well if one does not mind losing the taste of fresh hops.
December 2020. Got some 2020 Gravitas. It’s a 8.6% brew now.
Tastes of grapefruit, pineapple and mango with a slightly bitter finish.
Still excellent.
