Tons of pineapple, papaya and citrus aroma dominate the nose of this double dry-hopped IPA. Brewed using a select yeast strain, this beer has a creamy mouthfeel and finishes with a crisp refreshing touch.

Opaque straw to maize yellow with a short white head leaving rounded but thin arms of lace on the glass.
A little pungent and astringent, while also juicy and citrusy, it’s not an ideal NEIPA, but it’s passable. Still, there are resinously potent notes that aren’t too harsh (I’m fine with resin) but are a little Brillo-esque.
The softly medium body has a firm froth that comes to a semi-dry finish.

8/28/22, Jake and Amy's wedding day!
Enjoyed at the brewery in Pittsburgh, Millvale.
Very hazy; very light head that dissipated quickly but lingers on the glass.
Quite the juicy aroma...and right through to the flavor!
Immediate bite on the tongue. Guava and papaya flavors carry through the entire sip and swallow and linger in the mouth. Really enjoyed this!

Thanks to Adrock314 for this one, from the recent Can Cans BIF. 16oz can (no date) poured into 14oz teku. poured a fully murky medium yellow color with 3/4 inch of white head that had good retention and light lacing.
The aroma was the expected frooty hops-no grain combo of the style.
Same on the tongue, but there was a touch of hop bite to add some interest.
The body was the typical light of the style, with a semi-sweet finish.
drinkability was good, if one likes the style.
Overall, another average murkster. Try it if you're into it.

Excellent and solid NE IPA from Grist House Pineapple and papaya presence with some overall citrus flavor. Nice aroma - pours a deep hazy yellow. Marvelous full-bodied mouthfeel.

Color is awesome, obviously.
Tons of pineapple and mango comes through in this via nose and palate. Little bit of resin, quickly overcome by juiciness. Super soft and just easy to drink. No off-tastes or detectable alcohol in this one.
