This double dry hopped fruity IPA is a hazy New England style charged up with the Belma hop variety! This dual-purpose hop is found to have an ambrosial mix of strawberry, fresh-picked melon, candied orange peel, and boasts a soft, creamy body with a juicy hop finish!

Poured from crowler into glass. Fill date is stamped as '9/11/2018'.
Murky, gold colored body. Two finger white head upon initial pour quickly retreats to interrupted cap and thin ring. Does not leave behind a real pattern of lacing, just a couple of scattered spots.
Aroma does express a mix of sweeter strawberry, a more tart orange, and a slightly earthy melon.
Taste is mostly hops - sweet berry and more tart citrus. Minor sweet melon. The double dry hops certainly introduce a burn to the tasting experience, but the slurpy NEIPA style of the beer is a clear balance.
Medium to full mouth feel. As required carbonation.
The initial sweetness in the taste and the smooth, comforting mouth feel urge this beer to be gulped but the double dry hopping brings forth a slight burn that mellows out the beer for a more nuanced drinking experience. In other words, the beer is not so sweet and pillowy that a continued gulp is encouraged. Overall, this beer is a very tasty to the taste buds and comforting for each sip (gulp). In appearance, smell, taste, and mouth feel, this beer is very inviting to experience (just be ready for the double hopping).
