On tap at the public house neat Queechee Gorge.
Lightly hazy light gold in color with a decent bubbly off white head that slowly dissipates. Juicy fruity citrus and light earthy grass against a sweet bready maltiness. Pretty Nice beer.

This is pretty good. Pours super hazy light dirty-orange with a tall fluffy head that coats the glass. Smells tropical and a little piney. Taste starts out really good but deteriorates fairly quick with a slight off flavor. Mouth feel is a little chunky with hop debris. Overall, a pretty solid NE IIPA.

Moderate pour yields a one inch egg shell head over a murky, golden body with sticky lacing. Nose of tropical fruit, citrus, and a bit of onion. Taste mirrors nose with a citrus pith bitter finish. Good feel and overall, A nice example of a NEIPA. Cheers to BHB!

Tall can, no freshness info..purchased in Burlington, VT.
Fully hazed and thick NEIPA kinda pour. Leaves nice looking fine lacing on the glass.
Ripe tropical fruit nose, melon, mango, soft lime notes.
Soft in the mouth, ripe fruits abounding, again melon, mango, pineapple, dank notes in the finish, complex and quite delicious.
Mighty fine stuff, go get some...

Can to tulip.
The appearance was a thick pale orange color with a small finger's worth of white foamy head that slid off quaintly. Sly lace appeared but slid with the sips.
The aroma had a nice blend of papaya, mango, and pineapple rolling into a light sweet cream.
The flavor mildly leans towards the sweet side of the prior mentioned aromas. Sly bitter edge came in underneath with a nice aftertaste of mango and papaya.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied to have a fine sipping quality about it. ABV felt appropriate. Carbonation felt nice and low as it should be for the New England styled DIPA. Creamy finish with those prior noted fruits.
Overall, another well done New England styled DIPA by Bent Hill. Great job, Mike and company. Now don't let up, you're on a roll and I'm rooting for you!
