Good NEIPA. Great hops lineup!!! I drink so many "Grapefruit flavored, low bitterness, some dankness" NEIPAs that it is nice to taste one that seems "New England-like" but still leaves you wondering exactly what flavors and aromas you are experiencing. Poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass, this beer featured a hazy straw yellow coloring, a medium sized foamy white head with good retention and good lacing. The aroma and flavors stand out!!! Citra Lupomax, Strata, Citra and Simcoe hops (Double dry hopped too!) left me with a myriad of aromas and flavors to savor. Definitely a good strong pleasant nose - aromatic and fruity. The same with the taste: strawberry, a little grapefruit, lots of tropical fruit, stone fruit (mostly peaches) and some non grapefruit citrus (probably lime). Not a juice bomb but a flavorful, aromatic brew. Mouthfeei was crisp, moderately bitter with a little dankness. As complex as a NEIPA gets!!! Well worth experiencing!!!

I love that this is not a juice bomb. The dry hops are what makes it woek so well for me. Aroma is full and varied, exceptional for me since my nose is usually so weak at picking up much. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, not cloying or sticky. Dry clean finish. I am enjoying it more for my second time. Overall I will come back for this again. I had gotton tied of so many hazy NEIPAs being too juicy or biteing. This has renewed my appeal.
