16oz. can into a Heady Topper stemless snifter.
Nose is citrus, pineapple, starfruit and cane sugar. Moderately aromatic with a fruity sweetness. Beer opens citrus, lemon, cantaloupe, starfruit and pineapple. Some starfruit and a zesty dryness in the middle. Finish is waxy. Reminds me a lemon rind and grapefruit bitterness. Body is light with moderate carbonation. Soft and dry on the palate and goes down bone dry with a sticky, lingering, filmy aftertaste.
Really solid flavor overall but the body and feel work against this somewhat.

A: The beer is very cloudy yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a dense webbing of bubbles covering the surface and thick lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of grapefruit, lime, and pineapples are present in the nose.
T: The follows the smell and has a mix of flavors consisting of grapefruit, honeydew melon, lime, mango, and pineapple. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and somewhat juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The citrusy and tropical fruit flavors in this New England IPA begin to intensify as the beer warms up.

Hazy yellow color with a white head on top. The smell is pretty pungeant, oniony dank hop notes on the nose. The taste has a spicy resin flavor going on. The feel is smooth and creamy. Overall a really nice IPA.

Tall can - "Canned 2-12-19"
Nice looking Sloop NEIPA pour, fully hazed, yellow squash soup in color and supporting a lasting and frothy cap, leaves a load of wispy lace on the glass.
Lime, mango, kiwi bursting on the nose.
Mighty fine creation, fresh and tasty with more of the nose on the palate, and adding some pineapple juice goodness. Love this take on the style. Go get some
