Appearance: Pours a nearly completely hazy (5-10% clarity) light and pale orange color that layers with a moderate white head. SRM of 6. (4.00)

Aroma: Aroma of lemon orange, grapefruit, brightening with hints of berries. (4.00)

Flavor: Flavor of Orange, lemon, tangerine, with a earthy pine and hens of tropical berries. Leans relatively dry. (4.00)

Feel: Medium body, appropriate, carbonation, finishes, relatively clean and dry. (4.50)

Compared to Hop Butcher Maxwell and Comey Go To A Ballgame 5/26: Pours darker, milder aromas. More pine. Less herbs. Drier and cleaner.

Overall: another Hop trio. Nice Citra, El Dorado base for some tangerine and pine. Then some Belma for a balance of tropical berries. It drinks lighter and drier than most Hop Butcher IPAs. Excellent hop trio combines into an extremely drinkable and enjoyable IPA. (Rating: 4.05)

 

Canned 4/6/26. Yeeaah, I still don't believe anything that's not closer to an 8%er than a 7.5%er counts as a 2x, but I'm obviously in the minority. All that sed, it's a good, well balanced NE ipa with thickish haze; medium hoppiness; a lighter, subdued citrusy/fruity/juicy/tropical-kinda flavor and a clean, quick-fading aftertaste. Very quaffable.

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, hazy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy lacing. It smelled of orange, pineapple, guava and caramel. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel, toffee and resin.

Good NEIPA!! Poured from a 16 oz. can into a pint glass, this beer features the standard NEIPAhazy yellow color (a bit less pale than most) and a big foamy white head with tons of foamy lacing on the glass. Head retention is very good!!! Aroma and taste feature tropical fruit and orange, nicely done with some mild bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied - half way between crisp and a juice bomb. A bit more bitter than many of the NEIPAs I've tried lately. Worth a shot!!!

 

 

Pours like a can of mango juice in color and texture, 1" white head, moderate retention and lacing. Nose is rather subdued; tropical sweetness, hint of musk and pine. Taste is juicy for sure, but far less than the appearance hinted at. Juicy Fruit gum, creeping spice on the finish along with some grain. Feel is straight up Jumex juice with very light carb.

 

 

 

Pours a hazy golden orange with a finger of foamy head that slowly settles to a thin cap with some lacing. Aroma of orange and grapefruit with a trace of pine. Taste follows nose.

 

 

 

 

I got a can of this beer from my good friend and old neighbor from the 'Wego. It poured a hazy orangish with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had melon and pomegranate notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright citrus, guava, and papaya presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.
