Hopped exclusively with Citra, the tantalizing aromas of grapefruit and melon burst out of the glass. The ale that follows is light bodied, yet juicy and finishes clean; indicative of the house it is named after. From the arid desert of Dorne to a sunlit patio in Portland, this is truly a beer fit for a Prince.

Rated 12-13-2019. I remember going to this brewery with friends and the place was crowded. I ordered a flight, and this was one of them. From my rating it was decent but nothing special. 55 IBUs

A little dry citrusy and a bit understated because it's not a dyed in the wool NE style hazy. A touch of dank too which I appreciate. Nice brew.

More cloudy than hazy golden body with a white ring. Dank hops with lime, orange, and grapefruit pith, nothing too inspiring so far. Taste is undercut by a watery body, herbal and slightly dank hops cuts in briefly, offering up grapefruit and lime, but faintly so. Like house martell itself, it just falls short, body is verging on broken it is so watery, hops are short lived, haze doesn't mold texture at all. Technical flaws bring this one to its knees, hop water

Pale gold haze with a formidable, rocky foam head. A lot of mellow lime, guava and pear. Slight sweetness, decent bitterness. Fluffy, smooth. Pretty well-balanced and enjoyable hazy. Nothing too crazy. Prefer this one to some of the more subdued neipas. I should add this was about two months old and a lot better than the first I had over a month and a half ago

The current version in 16 oz cans is brewed with "copious amounts of Mosaic hops" as well as being dry-hopped with Citra. There's moderate haze with a little murky flavor to put this in the New England category. Sudsy mouthfeel and plenty of foam in the tulip.
Pleasant aroma of lime peel. Rather dry taste. Citrus flavor dominates with grapefruit peel and lime finish. Somewhat bitter though it doesn't linger. Quite drinkable, but a little more austere than likeable. At least it doesn't have the overly herbal and mucky taste of the hard-core NE style.

Hazy, apricot colored body; flimsy, soapy head, fades to thin, splotchy patches of foam very quickly. Intense fresh orange juicy aroma; grapefruit. Fine light malt base fully supporting a huge grapefruit flavor; fine blend of citrus sweetness with a tart, acidic balanced; bitter. Heavy body; watery flatness but with some prickly feel to the palate; dry.
Citrus-forward beer, big on the red grapefruit juiciness, bitterness, and tartness.
