16 ounce can poured in to tulip. No known date. Muddled rosy peach pour, one finger head with some lacing.
Huge tropical nose of papaya and passion fruit. Oh no...that nose does not translate into taste. Bitter white grapefruit pith, pine forest, some citrus hop finish. Oddly slick initial mouthfeel with a prickly finish. Easy one and done for me.

Thank you Grizzarky for this
16 oz can poured into a tulip
A- A murky orange copper with a small white head.
S- Tropical, some citrus, somewhat dank and piney
T- Citrus, tropical fruits, pineapple, some mango, touch of malts, piney/dank.
M- Smooth, medium body.
O- A solid hazy DIPA, color was a little ugly but the taste is what I want out of a hazy IPA. Great balance of the flavors.

Thanks goes out to Buck89 for this brew.
My second from this brewery. This one being way more NE style IPA compared to the other.
16 oz. Can
Poured into a Tired Hands glass a pretty nice cloudy dark orangy color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger off-white head, which leaves some nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex ( orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango), with some diesel like. The taste is really nice, hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango), pretty nice diesel like. Medium body, ABV hidden very nicely, nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, a very tasty brew, Addictive! Orange Julius! Thanks John!

Poured into a pint glass from a can. Very hazy/turbid golden color with a two-finger white head. Nice retention and lacing. Big fruity aromas: berries, pineapple, mango, tangerine, and some earthy resin. Prominent citrus/grapefruit taste up front, accompanied by an interesting mix of earthy tones and berries. Soft feel and slightly warming on the finish. Overall a great NE-style DIPA. I will definitely revisit this one.

No canned date, but release was 8/28/17. Poured into a 16 oz tulip glass.
A: Pours a murky hazy bronze, with no head despite a fairly aggressive pour, just a thin white ring.
S: very juicy, mango, pineapple, and kiwi come to mind here
T: The mosaic hops seem to dominate here, following the nose with tropical fruit, with a slight warming from the alcohol on the finish.
F: smooth and soft, not quite as pillowy as others, but definitely fits the NE style criteria.
O: A very solid offering, seems they've got their haze game dialed in now with this one. Abv is a bit high at 8.9, but it hides it well.
