Appearance: Poured from pint can a very cloudy golden, with little white suds and a short lace.
Aroma: Some citrus hops. Not bad.
Taste: Unusually bitter here, approaching sour. The body here is really light, but the harsh bitterness here seems off-putting, somehow, like maybe somehow something here was infected? Thumbs up to PBRmeasap1980 who put it best in his/her review “bitter hop water”. I agree. Not very palatable and pretty disappointing.

It's an alright brew. Kinda wish there was more flavor, but I understand that it's a session beer. Here goes:
A: Just alright. I'm not a big fan of cloudy, NE-style IPA's, though. Pours a cloudy orange with a decent head. Carbonation is alright; lacing is abysmal.
S: Best part of the beer. Orange, mango, papaya, lemon, grapefruit, and other tropical flavors. Definitely a Citra beer.
T: Hops are good but somewhat muted. The beer is incredibly light; very water. It's so light that it impacts the flavor. While the hops are good, they're very faint. There isn't that much to this beer.
F: Incredibly light. Not very good, but the carbonation is alright.
O: Alright beer. Good if you want to crush cans.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy amber color with a brief bubble show that creates a couple of fingers of foam; the stickage is good and a few shards of lace hang around
Smell: Tropical fruit wafts with lychee, papaya, kiwi and tangerine
Taste: All fruit flavor with minimal malt backbone with all of the elements detected in the aroma and then some; melon and strawberry join, through the middle and all of the fruits combine in the finish
Mouthfeel: Light bodied with moderate carbonation
Overall: Move over New England, there is a flyover brewery that can give you a run for your money
Thanks, darktronica, for the opportunity

Really good. Get this again NYD. You really like the aroma here. The taste is really good. Not terribly filling. They mean sessionable here. And it's pretty nice to have a pale like this as an option to have a couple/few.
