Pours an opaque pale orange with two fingers of white foam. Aroma is tropical fruits and grass with hearty green, rindy undertones. Tropical fruits start to come out more as the beer warms slightly from fridge temperature. It leans into sweet, but never goes deep into sugary, being balanced out by the rindy, green hops at the finish. Flavor profile is tropical fruits with rindy, grassy, mild herbaly hops. It still has a pronounced green character in line with the aroma, but it's more subdued, allowing the initial sweet tropical fruits to control the mix. Mouth feel is medium-thick with a light rindy grist to the otherwise plush texture. Overall, while displaying some sweetness, it also carries some notable green hop characteristics that keep it balanced, albeit, it doesn't lean as sugary as the NE IPA category tends to go. That balance is welcome and preferred by some.

Served in a 15.5oz Speigalau tulip from a 16oz can.

 

Sweet peachy stonefruit and subdued hint of white wine grape nose on this one! Taste follows with a sweet tropical hoppy, juicy peachy, and subdued citrus bitter swallow...thisleans more juicy-sweet than hoppy dank. I am missing a little bit of than Nelson heat on this one. This is more Juicy-soft than murky...and that works okay since this leans sweeter. A small bitter bite does shows up more, however, as it warms. Good!
