Poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass.

Pours a hazy golden straw color with 2 fingers of fluffy white head. The head leaves a few splotches of lacing before settling into a thin halo.

The aroma brings a ton of grapefruit, pineapple, apricot and honeydew melon. There's a touch of mango and fresh berries as well as a hint of spicy pine on the back end.

The flavor is tropical upfront, bringing notes of pineapple and mango. Then comes a huge wave of citrus; namely grapefruit and tangerine. Finishes earthy and piney with some mild peppery spice.

The feel is medium bodied with pretty good carbonation. Crisp and highly drinkable, yet very smooth with a relatively dry finish.

Overall, this is a great IPA that is exceptionally well-balanced and extremely drinkable. It's a nice balance between a fruity, tropical NEIPA and a citrusy, earthy West Coast IPA.

Can to English pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-soft burnt yellow to paper orange color with a small white mostly foamy head. Some bubbles were seen here and there. Mild lace sliding.
The aroma was absolutely fantastic! Lots of pineapple and papaya in front while pulling in a subtle hop oil spicy character. Some bitter citrus peel for balance. Super mild on the malt backbone.
The flavor moderately blended with an "iced fruity citrusy" hop tone running through an ample bitter tone. More of a bitter aftertaste of dried citrus pith.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionable to mediocre sipping quality about it. Some smoothness but with some dryness. Finishes semi-crisp with citrus peel and subtle grassy bitter tones.
Overall, nicely done American IPA well worthy of coming back to.

Poured into a 16 oz Nordic pint glass canned on 12/05/19. Pours a very hazy orange yellow with a finger sticky white head that leaves plenty of webs of lace with solid retention. 4.5

Smell tangerine, pineapple, papaya, hints of boysenberry, and some apricot. 4.25

Taste follows tangerine,pineapple, papaya upfront with boysenberry and apricot in the finish, excellent stuff. 4.5

Mouthfeel is a big medium, soft gentle carbonation, sticky not dry, and drinks bigger than the 6.7% it actually is, but really drinkable. 4.5

Overall this is a great NEIPA, I will be keep my out for more of this stuff. Really a great beer. 4.25

This was the first beer that I ever had from Great Rhythm and it would have been nice to have a date on the bottom of the can, as I can't recall when I traded for this. This wasn't a bad beer, as it crossed off all of the proverbial boxes for an American IPA. While not outstanding or memorable, this was easy to enjoy as it held up well and had enough to offer an imbiber like me!

Good pour to this as this had the look of a New England IPA - golden, hazy, and topped off with plenty of foam. One solid ring could be seen around the middle of my pint glass as there was plenty of lacing above and below that with some semblance of rings being seen in the midst of all of that. The aroma to this was nice - lots of tropical fruit, soft hops, lively citrus, earthy burn, and Pale Malt in the nose. Bubblegum sweetness, fruit salad dankness, and deep pine forest came through in the taste as this had hints of weed and dankness in it as well. Lively, slick, and nicely carbonated, there wasn't a weak aspect to this beer as it went down easily and was quite nice by the time it fully warmed up.

Not a lot of booze to this as this was one of the weaker IPA's that I've recently had, when it came to it's alcoholic content. A light slickness lingered on the palate as the deeper notes of this beer remained long after I finished this off. While not particularly memorable, this had enough going for it that I'd give it another go should I ever come across it again. Nicely crafted and a good take on the style while having enough nuances to hold my attention from start to finish!

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Pint can. 6.7 % abv. Poured into a long stem style tree house glass.

A vibrant orange and gold color, thick, humid summer hazy appearance. A short white foam cap keeps only a minor presence.

Rich abundance of hearty scented and earthy herbals in the hops and malt. Tangy citrus, burnt wheat n grains, old spices and honey sweet malt tones in the nose.

A rather spice and dry, earthy-forward hop flavor that packs a hearty punch. A bit old school style with a rich, earthy, herbal but super crispy malt thing that plays a major part. Crisp, earthy and grainy malt hits a pine sap, grapefruit and sour earthy hop complexity that reminds me very much of some old classicly alpha...high toned hoppy thing from several years past. Rich, bitter and earthy finish, dry but clean in tbe aftertaste.
