Gold in color with a light haziness. There’s an inch of densely packed off white on top. Light, soapy lacing is present. The aroma is lemon and lime hops. I’m tasting lemon, lime and tangerine. The mouth is resinous, lightly sticky, and dry.

Fantastic head production and retention. Body is super hazy and almost completely opaque, and a lovely shade of lemon yellow.

Aroma is a real puzzle, with both traditional and non-traditional IPA notes, some of which are really difficult to place. Lemon and lime zest and pulp, mint, oregano, papaya, peach, vanilla, orange, starfruit, guava; there's something exceptionally bright, pungent, and familiar but which I simply cannot place. It's really enjoyable, but also odd and unique.

Flavor follows - both the good and the ... interesting. I really cannot place that pungent note - distinct from dankness - that seems to be a cross between bright green kitchen herbs and pungent juicy fruit. Tasting notes match the nose almost identically.

Lively and crisp, but with a nice smooth body. Pretty much nails the low-ish ABV take on a NE IPA.

Really pungent burny weedy NEIPA. No cushion here, tastes like a West Coast hybrid with East. Not an easy drink, but certainly fresh and well-made.

Graciously sent to me in NBS BIF 14 - Thank you Ovaltine!
This has all the makings of an excellent NE IPA in all their hazy glory.
The look is very nice, raw honey golden and opaqueness. Beautiful white head caps the beer.
The aroma is very nice as well, the citrus and hops and almost literal "juiciness" are in there.
The taste, likewise, very good. The citrus leads and the hops swirl in to keep things from tending too sweet or malty, but the finish throws me a bit.
The feel - not a huge fan of the dryness (Is this caused by the DDH?) and while it does have the affect of making you want to drink again, it does so until the end when there is none left!
OA, really appreciated being able to try this apparently rare bird. If you like that dryness at the swallow, then this should be perfect for you. If you can find it!

Pours a nicely hazy straw color with a dense white head that provides beautiful lacing. The nose is dank citrus and a nice berry note.

Dank citrus is prominent on the taste, with oranges and grapefruit rind, and the berry flavor is accompanied by a smidge of pepper. Really flavorful beer, especially at the ABV.

The mouthfeel is medium and per the NEIPA style. Totally crushable beer that checks all my NEIPA boxes.
