A mammoth feast of papaya, passionfruit, mango, tangerine and key lime. Properly hazed, mellowed bitterness and a round mound of ripe and juicy hop flavor.

Pours a pretty hazy golden orange with a head that sticks around for a few minutes. Smell is mostly grapefruits and oranges with undertones of guave and mangoes. Taste is rather tropical and is dominated by grapefruit and guavas. It starts out very sweet but is finished by a prefect bitterness to balance it out. The feel isn't anything super special, it's lightly carbonated with a slight alcohol warmth at the very end. Overall a more than solid offering if you can find it.

Had this on tap. A hazy IPA that fits the description nicely. The aroma was a lot of citrus and it comes through big time in the taste. The first sip was loaded with mango, passionfruit and orange. The taste lingered and the was very little bitterness. Very nice.

Very nice NE style IPA - Picked this up from a local Chicago Beer store on August 11. It was brewed on 6/18 but seemed to have been kept cold and tasted great. All the flavors blended well and this will definitely be on my list again when I am visiting the Chicago area

From a tall aluminum can, this hazy brew has a tall white head. The aroma is fruity...with some must and malt. The taste is semi-sweet with some yeast and balanced bitterness. Full in body. Interesting.

16 oz can poured into a Pilsner glass.
Appearance
Hazed-out blonde. 1 finger of creamy white head with excellent retention.
Nose
Mango, peach, guava, passion fruit, grapefruit, and dank.
Taste
Grapefruit pith and pine needles. Slight peach, papaya, and mango. Some earthy bitterness.
Mouthfeel
Medium-light bodied, crisp, well carbonated, off-dry, and moderately bitter.
Overall
Decent enough NEIPA. I feel like there should be a lot more flavor for being double dry-hopped.
