Canned 12/7/16; drank 12/12/16 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque dull orange/yellow appearance.

A rough pour yielded a HUGE, noisy eggnog head; strong, frothy lace.

Melon, banana & mango notes in the nose.

Soft medium mouthfeel.

Melon, banana & mango flavors up front; mild dry grass notes on the finish.

NE IPA excellence; fruity, soft & just a touch dry. Another gem...

Fascinating hop trio with the always bold azacca and simcoe bringing a rye and grain spice that melds well with the hazy moteuka hop. Finding myself becoming a big fan of moteuka in these hazy beers. The dry hopping leaves a fruit rind-like dryness on the finish. Now all that being said it isn't overly fruit or flavorful beyond the hops, but the hops are enough to keep my attention for a glass.

This is a hazy, citrusy, medium/full bodied, juicy NE IPA. I personally find it very easy to drink and highly recommend this beer.

More citrus / tropical fruits than hops in the nose and taste. Definitely on the lighter side for carbonation.

16oz, canned on 03/21/18. Thanks to my friend, Derek, for finding yet another can from Hop Butcher for the World. Opaque peach colored ale with a creamy off-white head. The can says fruit punch, and it does smell like a tropical fruit punch. Flavor is citrusy fruit punch: grapefruit, passion fruit, cherry, lemon-lime, orange, piney mango, melon. Creamy and smooth body, bitter prickle of the tongue, finishing with a slight sourness. Not too bad and I've had others I prefered more from this brewery.

16 ounce can into a tulip snifter. Canned 3/21/18, had 3/25/18.

Looks like grapefruit juice, with a half inch foamy head and spotty lacing. Aromas of orange, pineapple, mango, some melon and peach, light yeast and malt. Overall, the aroma fades quickly. The taste is similar: pineapple, grapefruit, mango, light melon, some malt, a little yeast. Somewhat dank, some hop bitterness throughout. Smooth, juicy, a good lighter body, well carbonated.

Good, enjoyable, a nice hop profile. It could be more fragrant for a longer time.
