Poured into a grip shaped pint glass: color is hazy gold, head is brighter off white with fine bubbles, some lacing on the glass.
Smell is peppery, pineapple, earthy, floral.
Taste is similar with sharper peppery flavor, very short burst of pineapple, earth, herbal, floral hops then sharp bitter finish.
Mouthfeel is crisp, super bitter for a sub 6% abv ipa.
Overall a solidly bitter ipa, with moderate to sharp carbonation initially then subsides, interesting hop flavors but don't work for me other than for tasting purposes.

16 oz can poured into a pub style pint glass.
Appearance
Extra hazy blonde. Short white head.
Nose
Dandelion, mango, peppercorn, woodsy, oats, and perfumey florals.
Taste
Cedar wood, dandelion, and pink peppercorn. Dried florals, potpourri, and hints of under-ripe mango. Oaty creamy maltiness.
Mouthfeel
Light bodied, crisp, dry, and bitter.
Overall
Certainly has a unique hop profile. I would love to see Weyerbacher attempt another NE style IPA with less bittering hops.

Look - Has a nice slightly hazy straw color very similar to pineapple juice.
Smell - Very mild stone fruit. Slight apricot and peach.
Taste - Follows the nose with a mild stone fruit. Finish fades fast.
Feel - This is a light IPA at 5.5% but has a good mouthfeel. Light and viscous but velvety. Not overly heavy.
Overall - One of the better IPAs I've had from Weyerbacher. Absolutely love this brewery but IPAs are definitely not their strong suit. Would love to see them go forward in this direction and develop some hazy/fruity IPAs with a big mouthfeel and loads of dry hops. This one does well as a fruity session IPA and proves to be a step in the right direction for the brewery.
