Pours a pale straw color with a finger of head. The nose has a mild juicy pithiness. The flavor has the same grapefruit pith and it's stronger than the nose would indicate. There's not much else to this offering, however.

 

Served on tap at their location in South Boston. Milky cloudy leaving whitish dirty gold color. Modest head. Some wide streaks on the brandy snifter.

As advertised, the smell is juicy, like Juicy Fruit actually. Very low hop presence.

The taste reminds me of homebrew because there’sa strong yeast bite. The taste is dryer and doesn’t have any Juicy Fruit present. Rich body with ample carbonation. The hop is of the balancing variety. The finish and aftertaste is mostly the yeast bite. If that’s your thing, you’ll love this beer.

 

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a super hazy orange-yellow color with a one finger head of off-white foam. The head has a good level of retention, fading over time and leaving a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is rathe strong of a tropical fruit smell of papaya and pineapple mixed with a whole lot of grapefruit and herbal hop. Along with these smells comes a strong orange juice smell as well as some aromas of pine and bread. There is a also a touch of hay and a little bit of peach and pear, producing a rather nice smell overall.
Taste – The taste starts out with a bready and wheaty flavor mixed with some flavors of tropical fruit of pineapple and papaya as well as a touch of tangerine. There are other flavors of a grapefruit hop and a bit of pine which create a start to the flavor profile. As the taste advances more hop comes to the tongue, with the grapefruit hop and pine getting stronger all while being joined by a touch of herbal hop. Toward the end, there is a little bit of a hay and grain, as well as a touch of yeast, leaving one with a rather malty, but nicely balanced hop taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is quite thick and chewy with a carbonation level that is lower. For the style the feel is good and makes for a rather easy and flavorful sipper.
Overall – A rather decent hazy IPA. Nothing too special, but enjoyable and flavorful none the less.

A: Bright, milky orange coloring with a yeasty dense nature, shows an initial rise of moderate carbonation. Spongey white capping, slight of half inch, had a good retention factor. Nice coloring, juicy milk orange, white bready capping checks all the boxes per style.

S: Sweet lime and lemon citrus first on nose. Fairly good strength. Sharp and to the point. Some fresh sweet tangerines and oranges arrive upon warming.

T: Initial flavor was bright and tart orange-citrus, along with some damp green hops. Some grassy and pine hop flavors is tart and refreshing. Some sour fruitiness, pineapple and grapefruit along with a touch of cantaloupe fruit. Good balance of grassy-pine hop bitterness and sweet, bready malt body.

M: Full bodied, malty with some gentle carbonation massage.

O: Overall nice color presentation, malty with some sour tropical and grassy-citrus factors hop flair. A nice lingering bitterness along with bready coating stays long on the tongue. Nice summer drinker, nice malty depth and solid hop levels.

Nice juicy IPA that’s not bitter or too hoppy
