Developing a new social handle can be a pretty daunting task. Balance between target audience appeal and originality is of the upmost importance. Much like a freshly minted user name, we think we've struck the right balance between the in your face juicy hop character of Idaho 7 and the pillow soft mouthfeel for this double dry hopped New England Style IPA. Drink fresh and enjoy!

Poured from a 16oz can stamped 12/30/22 to a Nonic glass at fridge temp.
A deep apricot body sits below a stiff white foam head of about ¾”. The head fades to a ring after 3-4 minutes but continues to lace heavily.
The aroma is heavy apricot and it greets you during the pour without any extra sniffing effort.
Taste is somewhat apricot but also mango and grapefruit. All that fruit is in the front because the finish is somewhat bitter with a small amount of hop burn.
Mouthfeel is on the heavy side of medium but not creamy.
Overall, pretty good especially for a 3-month old can. I will certainly try this fresh if I run across it.

Had this on tap and thought it was spectacular. Amazing aromas of citrus and beautiful color. Tasted delicious, clean and fresh and slightly fruity. Bought some cans, and they were nearly as delicious.

A- Tallboy pours into a tall, narrow chalice with a lightly hazed deep golden hue and a massive head. The cap rockets up to three fingers high and stays there for quite some time, great retention. Large sheets of lacing form with each sip.
S- The aroma boasts hops which is a surprise to absolutely no one. There is a hint of tropical fruit here but it seems Beer'd has captured a lot more of the floral, herbal and piney character that Idaho 7 can bring to the mix as the juicy fruits just come off as secondary in the overall balance of the aroma. Dank skunky weed eventually comes out with hints of mango, melon, mint and bubble gum as well.
T- Much like the aroma the flavor profile is all about the hops and again it has bitter floral and herbal notes leading the way with the fruity stuff secondary to it. A touch of mango, bubble gum, grapefruit, pineapple and tangerine secondary to the aforementioned. On the dry side with a hint of booze and a sharp bitterness. Overall this one is dry and malts are clean.
MF- The mouthfeel is great. Puffy and soft with a certain creaminess and frothy texture nucleated by the high level of bubbles. Ends with a sharp citrusy bitterness despite there not being all that much citrus flavor. Really nice on the palate.
Not the NE DIPA everyone is looking for but still a nice floral and herbal beer with a great mouthfeel.

16 oz can into IPA glass.
Look is fairly clear golden yellow. Smell is dank tropical fruit. Taste is sweet citrus with a grapefruit ending. Feel is fairly light. Overall a very nice IPA that could be a problem because it is a very easy drink. Would get again.

Poured from a can.
Looks nice, golden, and clear with a light white head.
Smells of topical fruits with a hint of biscuit.
Light sweet fruit flavors with a hint of syrup and citrus.
leaves a nice thin coating on the tongue that fades and leaves sweet tropical fruit notes.
