Good NEIPA from a local brewer!! Poured from a 16 oz.can into a pint glass this beer has a dense, hazy honey yellow color and a big foamy white head. Head retention is good and there are thick irregular bands of lacing on the glass. Aroma and flavor feature some pineapple and other tropical fruit. This beer is somewhat sweet, with just a minimal amount of bitterness. There is some NEIPA "dankness" here as well but not a lot. Mouthfeel is medium weight, slightly bitter and fairly crisp. All in all a pretty tasty brew!!!

From the label on the can, under the barcode: "CANNED ON 03/23"

Appearance: It has a medium orange color that is slightly dark and the body is completely opaque. It has a medium-sized fluffy white head that stands for a short while then drops out to a short frothy cap. It has nice sheets of lacing.

Aroma: There is a light aroma of what smells like orange gummy slices.

Taste: Up front there is a light orange flavor with a bit of a caramel flavor. The flavor stays pretty consistent throughout, focusing mostly on this orange gummy slice flavor. There is a bit of alcohol that comes through in the middle and a touch of vegetal character. After a while it takes on a very light bit of gummy peach flavor.

Mouthfeel: It is nice and smooth with an easy drinking medium body. The can states that this is "7.0% ALC. BY VOL." and it does appear in the flavor but it doesn't hamper drinkability. It has a very light hop bitterness which feels right.

Overall: It's an alright New England IPA that focuses almost exclusively on orange aromas and flavors which is simple but nice. It has very good drinkability which is great. It's worth trying but it might be worth grabbing a single glass or can. I could drink a pour of it from time to time.
