Pours opaque bright gold with a off white dense sudsy one finger head. Aroma has dense tangy lightly sweet orange. Flavor is similar up front with a great ruby grapefruit and orange flavor. Bitterness kicks in midtaste and as it fades in the finish you are left with a buzzy tongue sweet grapefruit flavor. Fantastic! Feel is very soft and thick with tons of effervescence that plays well with the thick body. Love this one a lot! Hard to find a realistic grapefruit flavor from hops alone. Will pick up a 4 pack while I'm here.

 

16oz can dated 11/4/21.

Pours milky gold with a short-lived head of white. Minimal retention or lacing. Candied grapefruit with guava in the nose. Pungent. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Juicy tropicals on the palate. Pithy and green with candied citrus. Grapefruit, tangerine, and guava. Finishes fairly dry with minimal malt, a firm bitterness, and lingering unripe citrus.

Had on tap at the source, then again in cans. Pours dark golden and fairly hazy with a dense pillow of white foam that fades slowly and laces nicely. Aroma is tropical fruits and some caramel sweet. Flavor follows similarly, and though the sweet is never too cloying it does unbalance this one. Seems the hop/malt bills go in different directions, but the end result tastes pretty good. Mouthfeel is a bit dense given the amount of competition (including Stoneface) that brings smoother, lighter NEIPA at the same ABV.

 

 

 

Poured into a 16 oz Nordic pint glass canned March 4th. Pours a very hazy an attractive murky orange with a solid finger head. 4.5

Smell is apricot, papaya, pineapple, and white grapefruit. 4.5

Taste follows tropical all the way papaya, apricot, pineapple, and some moderate grapefruit bitterness. 4.5

Mouthfeel is bigger than average, soft mouthfeel, sticky not dry, and at 8.2% insanely approachable. 4.5

Overall this stuff is really special! Puts Stoneface back in the conversation of NH finest brewery. 4.5

 

PDT is good...on the path to a balanced New England hazy IPA. Best carbonation I have had from all of stonefaces beers. Crushable for sure....not boozy. Slightly sweet. Rock candy tongue popping feeling but not a creamy mouthfeel.
Canned only 2 days ago so it may change....in fact, the last sip was better than the first. One of my favorite NH ipas but not on the treehouse/bissell tier in my opinion, YET. Happy to drink more in the future.

 

Sample at the NH Brewers Association Brewfest. Hazy murky grapefruit juice color with a bubbly white head. Bready sweet maltiness behind a juice tropical citrusy hop assault. Very tasty but ugly beer.
