Pours a golden hazy cloudy color with a fresh i finger white head. Smell has slight strawberry and other tropical delights . Taste was fruity but not strawberry forward it was faint ended with some pine resin. Mouth feel was dry with hops and malt. this is a Meh brew for me would not buy it again.

 

 

 

L-Nailed the New England IPA look. Murky and cloudy apricot color....

S-Getting garlic and onions on first impression...catty...simcoe will do that sometimes...guessing that must be in this..

T-The catty hop impression remains but a strawberry jam like flavor blends in nicely...

F-Medium bodied...drinks easy....no biting hops on the finish.

O-I like the strawberry impression but I'd like to see that blended with a hop bill with more juicy fruitiness rather than cattiness. It's decent enough but not what I was hoping for. That's OK. I love how this place is constantly trying new things and experimenting and most turn out fantastic. I see the other reviews loved this so I am probably the minority.

Looks awesome. Turbid, murky, cloudy, dense, muddy and thick. Yeah. Hard to place a color on it. How about copper/bronze/brown. Sounds good. Nice looking crop of dirty white froth leaves nice looking spotty lace. Aroma is bright and hoppy with a faint, but distinct, strawberry milkshake note to it. Onto the flavor. What a great experiment. It works. The combination sounded intriguing and I'm not disappointed. Juicy hops play over a slightly tart strawberry milk backbone. Some other fruitiness as well...papaya comes to mind. Creamy mouthfeel with a lingering tartness and hop bitterness.

This beer pours a completely opaque muddy orange with a large head. The aroma offers up sticky mango, pineapple, strawberry, banana, kiwi, and honeydew. The flavor is quite bitter to start, with mango, pineapple, brown sugar oatmeal, all present, an a finish of strawberry and candy. The mouthfeel is foamy and fullish. Overall this i a cool experiment at this hazy fruited IPA - not brilliant, but very tasty.
