New Sensation pours a cloudy, yellow color with a fine measured head that leaves some spotty lacing on the glass.
The smell is big and juicy, as expected from this NE style Imperial IPA. Tropical fruit and hops, no mistaking this beer.
Taste bursts with pineapple and grapefruit with a hint of guava and passion fruit. The Galaxy hops dominate from the first taste to the final swallow.
Amazing flavor and smooth but drinks very thick.

Cue up the INXS tunes, bc Fieldwork brings you new sensation. Pours a cloudy yellow with a small bubbled, fine white head measuring around 1/3". Nose if full of hops bringing the tropical fruit. Galaxy hops seem to have the most impact providing plenty of pineapple and passion fruit like scent up in the nose.
Taste is another bursting hop flavor, relatively low bitterness kind of beer familiar to Fieldwork fans. Still dropping a little bit of that grapefruit/lime/tangerine citrus impact, still giving pineapple and papaya as well. Hiding the alcohol amazingly well, this seems so drinkable and crushable, then 16 oz later you're left with a nice start to a buzz and a hankering for another. Really is upper echelon stuff. I hate that is sells out so quick, if they could up the supply, it would help the overall score. I fuck you up for scarcity. But damn if I don't love this beer.

Awesome flavors of tropical fruits and a keyed down taste of grapefruit. Haze in full effect. The aroma for some reason brings out rubber to me but the taste is great!
Great collaboration brew.

Another great NE style Juice Bomb. Very drinkable for a double. Great nose. The smell hit you right away. Mouth feel was thick. Got a lot of tropical fruit.
