For the style, or really any beer, this is gross. It tastes like milk, so much lactose and unbelievably sweet. The hop aroma is very minimal, and the hop flavor is underwhelming to say the least. Decent body

Pours opaque and hazy orange. Nice head and lacing. Aroma is fruity with citrus, peach and melon notes. Taste follows the nose with more of the same and a nice gentle mellow rind-y hop bite - not bitter at all. None of the hop burn I often get from this style is present here. Creamy mouthfeel, mild carbonation. Very smooth. Overall an outstanding NE style IPA. This is legit and a must try.

I tried this at the brewery. It poured a slightly hazy golden with white head that left a lace. The scent had tropical fruit. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall its a very good pale ale.

Low bitterness, juicy peach, sweet tropical fruit, tangerine dipped in sugar
Super drinkable with sweet juicy fruit flavors and a balanced hop bitterness.
