Good NE IPA. Poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass. good hazy orange/yellow color with a big, foamy white head and a good amount of lacing on the glass. The head is long lasting - a good looking beer. Aroma and flavor feature the main NE IPA characteristics. Mildly bitter, some citrus and tropical fruit - mostly orange but a bit of mango too, and kind of a mild "dankness". Mouthfeel is somewhat bitter, no alcohol presence, some balancing bready maltiness. Light, but rich enough for the style. Enjoyable IPA, well worth a try.

 

 

L: Poured from a tallboy can to a snifter glass. Had an orange / yellow color and an extremely cloudy consistency. There was a half inch of foamy, somewhat long-lasting head. Above average lacing.

S: A very nice aroma of hops, tropical fruit, citrus fruit, and malt.

T: Tasted of a good shot of citrus fruit (orange, in particular), light malt notes (mostly in the finish - not a big factor), a below average amount of hops (a very subtle presence), and some tropical fruit (mango, especially). This is a juicy, sweet, and well-balanced flavor. It's not terribly hoppy, with the fruit taking up the slack. Pretty tasty.

F: A fair amount of carbonation with a smooth and creamy finish. Medium-bodied.

O: Across the board, this is a solidly made, easy to like beer. Worth a look.
