Same base beer as the previous IPA but dry hopped first with charges of Mosaic, and Wai-it then dosed with Kohatu, Motueka, and a tropical experimental hop for the second helping.

The "Greatest Story Ever Told 2.0," the same base beer as the OG "The Greatest Story Ever Told," but with different hops, was a SoPro Taproom-only release in Sept. 2020 on draft and in green-label pint can 4-pks. Had GS 2.0 poured from green-label pint can, no date, into nonic pint.

Pours cloudy but bright-gold with 2-finger to huge, creamy near-white head, which leaves thick, overlapping rings of etched lace down the glass. Oddly, the head seems larger and creamier than for the OG TGS. Very juicy initial fruity aroma, then hop resin and sharp citrus rind aroma, and nice melon following on. With melon added and dominating dankness absent as compared to the OG TGS, GS 2.0 has a definitely more delectable NEIPA aroma. On tasting, carbonation floats sweet malt into big hop resin, and then bitter citrus rind moderates into tropical melon before a crisp yet malty finish.

On side-by-side comparison, the OG TGS started sweeter and got crisper, but GS 2.0 seemed a more unified, homogenous beer. Less piney resin than in the OG TGS better allows the tropical melon to shine, as this version 2.0 of the Story never strays far from New England.
