A big, juicy, New England style double IPA that takes Full Clip over the edge! Using the same yeast and similar malt bill as Full Clip, but with a bigger, bolder hop profile. The result is a hazy, flavorful IPA with a very soft mouthfeel.
Fun Fact: This is considered the “juicy” double in our portfolio. Dry hopped with over 3 pounds of hops per barrel!

Great IPA! Pours out nice and hazy with a beautiful white head. Smells faintly of citrus. Hops taste and smell is great--not too bitter but just enough to make it a great IPA.

Not sure why this beer is so highly rated.
I’ve had a number of the brewery’s beers which were quite good- not IPAs.
Nice look. But the aroma is too funky for me, the hoppy bitterness dwarfs the citrus in the taste.
The can date is 11/11 so it should still be fresh.
I think that the NEIPA set the standard of excellence for ipas. This beer is sort of a throwback, and the current assortment of craft beer IPAs just don’t do it for me.

Pours a hazy light orange with a 2-3F creamy head and a lot of lacing.
Smells of slightly dank hops with tart citrus.
Tastes of grapefruit, orange and honeydew with a mildly bitter warm finish.
Medium body with light carbonation. Lush and dry mouthfeel.
This is a bold, tasty and juicy brew that has well balanced bitter, tart and sweet elements.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours hazy yellow orange with a nice white head. Smells of bright fruit, especially melon and citrus. Tastes of citrus with some melon flavor and creaminess. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

On tap, pours a hugely hazy deep orange. Smell is very dank, with tropical fruit and citrus as well. Tastes fantastic, with a bit of bitterness in the finish. Massive mouthfeel, bordering on rich. Loved this one.

Extremely disappointing. Brutal, sour bitterness, unsuccessful and overused yeast, incomprehensible, messy hop character. Boring, weak malt backdrop.
Disappointed!

Pours opaque yellow gold with a one finger silky white head that leaves multiple rings the way down. Aroma has rich tangerine and pineapple notes with a touch of malt. Taste is thick with dense lightly sweet tangerine and melon and a touch of more tropical taste. The flavor lingers strongly well after the finish. There is a moderately strong bitterness in the finish that makes it come across as more robust. Feel is super dense and soft. Not too boozy for a DIPA either. This is a powerful beer that hits squarely in the NEIPA target except for the faint sweetness and a strong bitterness in the finish - unsurprising from Stoneface in a good way. These guys got creds and they dlcrafted this beer very well.

Swung by the brewpub yesterday (09DEC20) for a couple of pops. Started with a 12oz pour ($7.00) of this tasty offering.
It poured a cloudy, bright, medium golden color. Had a frothy off-white head which thinned rapidly, with ok lacing. Smelled of juicy, semi-sweet citrus, with pineapple and apricot in abundance. Had a medium-plus body and was quite smooth.
Taste was also rich with citrus. Had a lovely mix of pineapple, tangerine, apricot and mango. Was also dank and resiny, with some pine action as well. Quite nice! Prosit!!
