Cloudy pineapple color with a 4F head in a Spielgelau IPA glass.
Sweet melon, cantaloupe, earthy aroma.
Crisp, dry, and just the right bitterness to the finish.
Grapefruit, earthy, melon taste.
Excellent DIPA. My kind of beer and two of my most favorite hops.

Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a fantastic looking hazy burnt orange color with a good finger's worth of white foamy head stringing itself out appropriately. Moderate semi-foamy lace.
The aroma had touched down on some melon sweetness, mellow citrus pith, seems like grapefruit more as it warms. Some grassiness.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet melon side, somewhat honeydew. Citrus bittersweetness follows nicely. Mild aftertaste of grapefruit/citrus and melon.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Mild tickle of hop burn that seems to come and go. Fairly smooth on the finish with a citrusy sort of etiquette about it.
Overall, pretty damn nice New England styled IPA I'd drink up again. That hop burn luckily is faint enough to not get in the way.

Bought a can at the Beer Shop in East Longmeadow, MA. The beer is very murky with a dark brown color and a thin head. Thick lacing is on the side. The aromas definitely had a hint of melon with some mango citrus. The melon really comes out in the taste; a little too overpowering at times. Slightly creamy texture for the mouthfeel. Overall, I liked the idea of the beer; it definitely had an interesting aromas.

Pours a greenish brown with effervescent bubbles. About a finger of quickly fading head. Melon scent with bitter melon taste. Looks and tastes a bit thin.
