Taster at BitterCreek. Juicy in the NE style. Super hazy, flat pour. Fruity, juicy aroma, citrusy. Taste is more citrus. Nice heavy feel. Mildly sweet...

Pours a totally opaque sunny delight hazy
Nose is bright, fresh citrus
Taste is melon, citrus, and peach juice in the finish.
Full bodied, silky smooth, with a soft mouth, but still a bit of astringency in the finish. Really nice.

L: lumber like yellow, I see NEIPA are super pale or more orange and this is right down the middle nice hazy above average lacing / head
S: bright fruit loops / juicy fruit hops and non of that over ripe, so clean and enjoyable something not as found in NEIPA
T: taste follows the nose which is what I was hoping for and there is touch of malt sweetness to balance off all the hops and I would say on the lower range of bitterness
M: low to average carb a touch thin but also leaves wanting another sip after putting down.
O: a above average NEIPA and would love to move more cans of this in rotation in my fridge.

Pours a mango juice gold, with creamy white head rising up and leaving nice even gobs of lace around the inside of the glass.
Overripe mango and sweet malt greet the nose. Grapefruity undertones and aromas of milk sugar as well, although I'm fairly certain there wasn't any added to this particular beer.
Huge citrusy flavors on this beer, grapefruit and lemon peel. Getting a lot of influence from the Amarillo, with potent floral hops cutting through nicely as well. Sweetens more as it opens up and warms a little.
The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, sticky but without too much of a mouth-coating. The carbonation is mild but fairly sharp, but it's smooth as hell going down. Only a hint of boozy warmth lingers in the finish.

16oz can, snifter glass. Pours a cloudy golden body, one finger white head, big lacing, good retention. Smell is citrus, grapefruit and a fair bit of mild sugary sweetness, not much malt or grain. Zest. Bit of minimal lemon. Flavour follows, a bit more resinous than the nose suggests, but a big grapefruit zest and citrus throughout, slightly herbal and resinous finish. Mouthfeel is medium in body, appropriately carbonated and mildly bitter. Good stuff for sure!

Pours a hazy peach color with a foamy white head. Nose is fresh, full of melon and citrus. Taste is sweet. Melon, citrus and mango with a bit of grassy notes and sweet dough malt. Smooth medium body. Low bitterness. Can happened to be 4 days shy of 2months. Hedge witch is holding up nicely.
