Relatively crisp riff on NE-style IPA with notes of strawberry & passionfruit. Simcoe & Azacca take the starring roles here.

Poured from 16oz can into a dimpled mug. Canned 12/11/24.
Appearance: pale yellow hue with plenty of haze and a thick finger of frothy ivory foam atop.
Smell: nice aroma with citrus and passionfruit notes. The citrus has kind of a sharpish orange rind quality that is a little bit rough, but overall it’s still pretty good.
Taste: moderately sweet malt with a kind of dank-ish tropical passionfruity flavor, along with some more of those kinda rind-ey citrus hops. Not bad, although not mega smooth.
Mouthfeel: medium-rich body with a decent carbonation and a good creaminess.
Overall: a pretty solid beer .. it’s listed here as “American IPA” but the can calls it a hazy, so that’s how I’m judging it. The can is neither old nor fresh, at about 2 months old; it could be that straight from the tap it doesn’t have that sharper citrus peel element. But in any case, I’d definitely have it again if I saw it!

Classic Grimm IPA haze. Not too foamy and thus an easy pour and easy drink. Better aftertaste than some of their others.

Picked up 4pk at MaPa’s. Nice lighter but still flavorful IPA. Passion fruit more of a standout though berries and a bit of mango like stone fruit... combination added some interesting (sipping vs quaffing) complexity

A: The beer is hazy yellow in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high bright white head that died down, leaving delicate lacing on the surface and a web of bubbles down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of passionfruit are present in the nose along with notes of orange citrus.
T: The taste follows the smell, except that there are notes of strawberries and the flavors of orange are more subdued. There is a slight amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a little crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is packed with lots of aromas and flavors of fruits. There is a bit of bitterness and crispness so I wouldn't classify it as being "juicy" like some of the other New England-style IPAs out there are like.
Serving type: can
