A: super cloudy deep orange. Almost burnt orange in there. Medium white head clear bubbles
S: resin. Citrus. Auntie Tropical fruit.
T: bitter resin. Pine. Faint fruit flavor. Biscuits. Grass. West coast flavor for sure. Zero NE flavors
F: pretty soft. Not to bitter of the finish but bitter on the palate
O: here's the problem. This is advertised as something it by no means resembles other than the look. Blind taste would be guessed WC IPA no question. I can't believe that no one said something and
This was finished which makes me feel they just pushed it out anyway hoping the allure of NE IPA would get people buying. They did. But this is false advertisement without a doubt.

On my 2nd 4-pack, so decided to chime in with a review.
L: Cloudy, dark, almost brownish orange color. S: Sharp citrusy hop aromas, slight mango, touch of malt sweetness, earthy hops. The aroma is quite nice on this. T: Sharp, bitter and pungent hop flavor that is cut nicely by the malt sweetness and citrus paired together. There is a slight tropical fruit character. It's kind of a cross between a bright west coast ipa and a fruity NE style ipa. I'd call it a cloudy west coast ipa. F: Nice feel. It's quite smooth. While at the same time, not all the way "soft" as the true NE ipa's are. Still it's crushability is high. O: I really enjoy this beer. Not quite a NE IPA, but it's good in its own right.
