Canned 12/17 poured 1/30 pours golden yellow murk milk with outstanding three finger merengue head that remains creamy and sustained like whipped cream on hot chocolate. Melon, peach sweetness anre aroma is hitting me. Taste is lemon lime , stone fruit, melon, lemon grass. Feels creamy, sweet, mild hop bitterness, more sweet and soft.

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass

A: Pours hazy golden yellow with a frothy cream white head that settles to a firm layer and very nicely.

S: Zesty citrus, solid hit of tropical and stone fruit, a touch floral, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.

T: Bright ripe juicy citrus leads the way, lemon lime and a hint of tangerine, some tropical and stone fruit, mango, passion fruit, peach, apricot, and papaya that really comes out as it warms, light floral notes, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.

M: Just a touch on the fuller side of medium body, moderate carbonation, creamy smooth.

O: Motueka has been one of my favorite hops for a while now, but somehow this might be the first single hop beer. This one really gives it a chance to show off everything it brings to the table. I knew it brought big bright lemon and lime, but I had no idea how much extra tropical and stone fruit it was packing, especially the papaya. When paired with this luxuriously smooth malt bill it really makes something special.

Purchased at Beer Belly's in State College. Pricy at $6.99 for a pint. Brewed in District of Columbia.

LOOK: Pours much like my Boal City IPA from yesterday. Extremely hazy, that light barely passes through. This one has a white head that demonstrates pretty good retention and also displays copious amounts of side glass lace.
AROMA: Lots of citrus, with oranges or tangerine the most prominent. Other citrus includes apricot and mango. Some very wet dough also noted.
TASTE: Solid New England IPA, with the taste following the aroma.
Smooth IPA, that delivers, just the right of amount of hops and a taste/flavor.
