"Swish's little brother" to quote the great M-Dizz. Glad this is their flagship beer and regularly available.

Another gem from Bissell, this has the look of grapefruit juice, and the aromas are in that general direction, but more rich.

I had this in a cooler, so it was overchilled, but as it warms, the dank flavors (I'm assuming from the Falconer's Flight hops) really come forward, and the feel is a little crisper than a typical NE-style IPA (more similar to Alchemist than Tree House, for example), which I actually enjoy more - the pillowy feel at times comes across as watery.

There's a reason Bissell is so popular in the beer nerd world. This beer is a great example why, IMHO.

Canned late March 2017; drank 4/21/17 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque dull orange/yellow appearance.

A violent pour yielded a huge, noisy white head; a thick curtain of tree-rung lace.

Lemon, cane sugar & fresh, funky ganja notes in the nose.

Soft, medium mouthfeel.

Lemon zest & mild cane sugar flavors up front; dry grass & faint tangy soy sauce notes on the finish.

A bit unpleasant on the finish, but a decent NE IPA.

A: hazy pale oat white yellow with lacing hanging to my glass edges.

S: Aromas are very faint here, I was expecting more but got very little in that way . Some light pine, some light citrus, a bit of chalk

T: Light citrus rind, and pale malt, a bit of pine. underwhelming coming off some substantially hoppy and double dry hopped IPAs, but putting this one in its place.

M: Medium body with a LOT of carbonation. Stinging the tongue

O: first Bissell Brothers that I have had and was slightly underwhelmed, however I know they make some others that stand above this one
