IPA #2 is the second in the series of Collective Project India Pale Ales. This cloudy, “New England” style IPA is beautifully balanced with tropical, citrus and piney heavy hops: Mosaic, Simcoe and Waimea. This is a small batch brew that will only be around for a limited time.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated May 17th 2017 into a teku glass.
L: Pours a golden honey color with some haze making it difficult to see through. About 2 fingers of white head that take a while to settle down. Tons of lacing remain on the side of the glass.
S: Mostly pine with some notes of grapefruit and another fruit I can't quite figure out.
T: Citrus upfront followed by the pine and some bitterness on the finish.
F: Medium carbonation with a smooth creamy mouth feel.
O: An easy to drink IPA. It is an older can so I'm thinking the flavors have changed a bit.

16 oz can - doubled stamped date but I think it is 6/2/17.
Pours a vibrant cloudy orange gold color with a just-off white 3 finger fluffy head that settles down quickly to a half.
Aroma is apricot, grapefruit and something a little sweeter at first like honeydew but it dissipates fast.
Taste has similar hop flavor with the addition of pine notes that ride along with a surprising amount of bitterness. Low but sweet malt backbone lending to the fruit tones. It really is all flavor through to the finish.
Feel is smooth and creamy with a touch of seltzer.
This is a nice, more bitter take on the NEIPA and with a distinctive stone fruit profile. Very nice job.
