A: Pours a golden orange color with 2 fingers of head that fades down to a thin cap

S: A mix of citrus, tropical fruit, and earthy/herbal hops. Fruity and dank

T: Follows the nose. Starts off with a mix of herbal and citrusy hops along with some lighter tropical fruit notes and moderate bitterness that is perceived higher than what it is with some grapefruit notes. Finishes with lingering dank and herbal hops

M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation

O: A good IPA that pushes up the perceived bitterness with the citrus rind and herbal focus of the hops. Makes for a nice and interesting sipper. Worth checking out

No can date
Pours a giant frothy thicker head of 2 fingers, great retention, fair lacing, very hazy cloudy pale almost murky tan-brownish color, head is great, color is not so great

Nose brings lots of fruit, citrus, tangerine, with some apricot fruit, plenty of tropical as well with some pineapple, unripe mango, some interesting tropical fruit aromas mixed with the citrus, light cracker doughy malt, hops get a little grassy and dank

Taste brings more hops out front, juicy citrus and various fruits, citrus out front, a bit of ruby red grapefruit and generic citrus zest, with a bit of a tropical note, less distinct than the nose, hops then getting grassy and a bit of a green dry hop character, with some pith, getting a touch dank, mild sweet creamy malt, doughy with flaked proteins, med to lighter bitterness, drier finish, med bitterness

Mouth is med to a bit lighter bod, a bit soft creamy and a little juicy, med lighter carb

Overall mixed, wish the malt had a bit more presence and body, as well as carb, hops brought some really nice characters esp the aroma, body and malt just couldn't boost it up

 

 

Can stamped 10MAR20 on lower left corner.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a restrained murky orange to woody brown/yellow color. Small sheet of white foamy head slid off delicately to leave some concave lace.
The aroma started with some pineapple dry tones then grassy to semi-grapefruity tones follow in rounded out by some citrusy skin. Light zesty citrusy hoppiness.
The flavor took all of those prior mentioned aromas to blend together with some bitterness but with a keen sweetness. Mellow aftertaste of grassy hops.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a mild sessionability about it. Good carbonation. Dry zesty semi-grassy harshness on my tongue. Finishes with some grassy hops.
Overall, it's got enough style to fit into the New England classification. I would come back to.
