Pours a medium yellow gold color, cloudy with a 1 finger off white head. Aroma is insanely sharp with tangy australian hops along with grapefruit notes. Taste is similar with just awesome grapefruit and tart orange notes with a lightly sweet base of pale malt. Can't stress anough how tasty this is. Feel is very soft and lightly carbonated with low bitterness.

This is just an amazing beer. Reminds me of Reciprocal from Bissell which is my fave beer, just a little thinner though. Damn am i happy.

Sample at the NH Brewers Association Brewfest. Hazy light grapefruit yellow color. Bready earthly with plenty of citrus tropical earthy grassy hops Light gritty mouthfeel pretty tasty,

 

Poured into a 13 oz Funk Teku glass canned on 3/06/18. Pours like a glass of pineapple oj with a 2 plus finger sticky white head that leaves a ton of thin wispy lace behind.

Smell papaya, guava, pineapple, some earthy hops, and grapefruit rind.

Taste follows tropical front to back, some mild grapefruit bitterness that lingers only slightly after each sip.

Mouthfeel is bigger than average, soft but not too soft carbonation, slightly sticky but not dry from all the fresh hops, and easy drinking but a ton of flavor for its ABV and it seems bigger.

Overall this is another excellent NEIPA from them, really juicy and insanely tasty.

From a 16oz can, dated 03/06/18. Served in an IPA glass.

Pours a murkily opaque grapefruit-gold with a half finger of cream coloured, soapy head. Retention is only so-so OK, leaving a thin misty cap, a bubbly collar and a thin, slippery curtain of lacing.

A fairly muted aroma of orange sherbet, lime and vanilla cookies.

Taste mostly accords with the nose, sweet orange creamsicle and shortbread, pear, pineapple, lime and a bit of cat pee. Thin malt, slightly dank, low bitterness, with a very mild catty, boozy aftertaste.

Feel is juicy in a thin-bodied sort of way with good carbonation.

Overall, a pretty decent NEIPA which somehow didn't quite manage to 'pop' for me in any way. I'd definitely drink it again but I probably wouldn't drive all the way to Newmarket to do it.

16oz can dated 11/1/17.

Pours opaque, milky, straw gold with an inch-plus of cream of wheat head. Tattered lacing with a wispy surface for the duration. The nose is catty and dank with some pithy citrus. Weed, wet cat, hard peach, and pear. Medium bodied with a creamy but slightly chalky mouthfeel. Ripe tropicals on the palate with zero malt. Grapefruit pith, peach fuzz, and tangerine. Finishes with some throat warmth and a lingering pithy bitterness and quite dry.

Great beer! Juicy, dry, and a pleasure to sip.
