Dated 1/31/23 - drank in early May on a beautiful, long awaited sunny spring day.
Enjoyable hop complexity in the aroma with tropical fruit citrus and some sweet grass and spice. Pale hazy yellow and somewhat dense head that settles down and out. Short shot of bitterness right away and flows through the rest of the drink but never dominates until the finish when it lingers all by itself. Hop flavors round out the flavor profile with complexity but not intensity. Nice tasting but not outstanding. Smooth feel with slight richness.
As with all this series that I've had. A nice drink and a solid worthwhile choice. Can't go wrong.
thank you once again Anne

Pours a hazy golden, with fluffy dense cloudy head. Like @papposilenus, into a spiegelau IPA glass. I get peach, papaya, and mango on the nose. It's got a peach that evolves into a really nice menthol, eucalyptus herbal finish. Mouthfeel is creamy. I dig this. It's more complex than your run of the mill hazy IPA.

Funny that a couple New Englanders are the first to review it.

From a 16oz can, dated 02/07/22. Served in a spiegelau IPA glass.

Pours a moderately hazy grapefruit juice-gold with a huge three-plus finger head of whipped cream-like froth. Retention is excellent, leaving gobs of bubbly lacing. I don’t think I shook the can or anything but damned if I can get the whole can into the glass.

Nose is floral, fruity, catty. Aroma of pineapple, lemongrass? and musk.

Taste is citrusy, grassy and herbal. Tasting lemon, lemongrass and underripe pineapple. Slightly watery taste with low-to-moderate bitterness and a faint grainy aftertaste.

Feel is spritzy and relatively thin bodied with fizzy carbonation.

Overall, pretty good but honestly I tired of it pretty quickly. Chalk it up to personal preference but I found it… not unflavourful, as such, but just sort of thin and uninspiring. Drank well enough and maybe on another day…
