The outcome of our collaboration with our good friends Thin Man Brewing from Buffalo and Sloop Brewing from the Hudson Valley came a SUPER hazy New England IPA. Using Vic Secret and Moteuka, this new age IPA is velvety smooth with a resinous bite! Drink cold, drink fresh!

Pretty damn good! Looks like opaque dirty water. Those east coast ipas they say "drink from the can" because "they taste better" yet it's really because they are just plain ugly!

On tap.
Looks like a NE IPA, opaque milky yellow, with a thin head that quickly fades.
Smells and tastes great! Huge amounts of juicy, resinous hops, lots of pineapple, orange and grapefruit.
Thick juicy feel that finishes with a strong bitterness. The pithy end is a little harsh to me, especially following the initial smoothness.
Overall, a great NE IPA, an excellent collaboration. Glad I could drink it!

An excellent fruity NE style IPA. It's the closest thing made in Ontario I've had to a Treehouse beer. Bellwoods was the previous leader but this had the head which Bellwoods IPAs lack & the thick cloudiness of a Treehouse. Fruit galore in both the aroma and taste. Pineapple, grapefruit, and more. They were only offering it for drinking onsite or I would have bought more. Get it while you can!

Moderate pour yields a 3/4 inch slightly off white head over a very murky golden body with some sticky lacing. Head and lacing are gone in a few minutes. Nose of very strong orange and more orange. Taste of orange with a very strong orange pith and grapefruit pith bitterness with a very dry finish. Feel exhibits what I dislike about many NEIPAs as it has very little carbonation and is taken over by a raspy dryness between the tongue and roof of the mouth. Blech! Overall, many who enjoy NEIPAs such as this should seek it out, you'll love it. Cheers!
