11/20/21 Canned 11/15. Wasn’t expecting it to be this good. Perfect dry bracing bitterness. Dank Galaxy. A sleeper. Buy more. A fav.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just the right amount of flavor. Not too light, not too heavy.

 

 

 

Outstanding brew, My favorite from New England Brewing.

L: Pours a pale to deep gold color with a medium haze. A gentle pour yields three fingers of pillowy, white head with good retention. As the beer goes down it leaves a mass of ringed and webbed lacing on the glass.

S: Tropical and citrus aromas abound. I get mango, passion fruit, papaya, grapefruit, orange, herbal dankness, notes of pine, and a light (almost imperceptible next to the hops) grainy malt character.

T: Not as tropical as the nose would suggest. I get grapefruit, bitter grapefruit pith, caramel malt character, bitter pine resin, dank herbal notes, and oranges, As the beer warms I begin to perceive a light over-ripe to rotten tropical fruit character (mango and papaya) and a very light grainy malt character. This one has a good bracing bitterness mixing with just a bit of juiciness, but the bitterness wins out.

F: This has a medium-full body with medium to medium-high carbonation. The mouthfeel is creamy and smooth with an assertive dryness on the finish that brings you back for another drink.

O: This one is a winner. Probably one of my favorites DIPAs from Nebco up there with Supersupernaut, Gandhibot, and Double Fuzzy.

Overall – Pretty darn good beer. Well put together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great tasting beer. Goes down smooth. Very refreshing.

Wow. Tropical paradise. Thank you Lord, thank you God. Say n'more,... nudge nudge, aye aye. Love it.
Hops. Pretty much blows your face out. Not to mention tongue. Finally abbitter IPA.

 

Pours nice dark orange yellow. Good amount of haze with nice pillowy head. Nose is super ripe melon,berries with some minty scents coming through. Pretty dank. Nice! Mouthful is good and coating making the flavor profile all that much better. Front end palate follows the nose with nice ripe apricot and melon with flavors of berries , kiwi, and serious resinous mid to end palate blast leaves you rather stunned. The flavor builds throughout the sip and bitter dry finish is perfect. Flavor bomb with tons of tropical flavors make this amazing. A little more harsh on the palate than say, treehouse but every bit as good. This beer knocks it out of the park. Top of the line. Prob my favorite from this brewery. I need more!!!
