Served in a tulip glass from the can.

Appearance: Cloudy yellow with medium bubbles to the body creating a thick white head rising maybe one full finger's length off the body.

Smell: Grapefruit skin with hints of floral and oranges.

Taste: Bitter yet sweet complex brew. Citrus zest meshed with a deep grainy floral feel it's like a ridiculous complicated hop flavor.

Mouth: Soft carbonation with a sticky but dry body. Heavy hop finish.

Overall: Good brew, for the one not in love with IPAs this one might away you a bit. Too smooth yet hoppy enough to make love to your palates. Salud!

 

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 1/3/2020. Pours opaquely hazy deep golden/amber/light orange color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light biscuit/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light biscuit/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness.Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light biscuit/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Excellent complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%, or lingering hop burn after the finish. Overall this is an excellent NEIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish; nicely soft, and not overly aggressive. Awesome Mosaic, Galaxy, Vic Secret profile. Very juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy hops; with a nice sized wheat/oat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example. Loved the hop profile as expected.

A very impressive beer. This is from a brewery that is well respected but one that I’ve barely sampled from before. No date printed on can. Pours a nice hazy yellow color with some fluffy white head and glorious sheets of lingering lacing. Looked incredible, reminded me of Tree House’s hazy IPAs. Smells of nice ripe tropical pineapple, grapefruit, mango, tangerine, lemon and some passion fruit. Also a little guava, malt, vanilla, caramel and bread. Nice floral notes in the background. Taste follows the nose, great vanilla creaminess with excellent balance and depth. Smooth, sticky, quite soft mouthfeel with good carbonation. A very surprisingly excellent New England style IPA. Will definitely look for more from this brewery.

Poured from a 16 oz can purchased at the brewery 2/10/20. No date on can, but tastes fresh. Hazy grapefruit color with nitro type bubbling, nice lacing, thin foam head. Very dank pineapple taste with a pine west coast IPA finish. Nice complex brew!

 

A: The beer is slightly hazy yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a narrow collar consisting of medium-sized bubbles around the edge of the glass and a thin film covering the remainder of the surface.
S: Moderately strong flavors of pineapples are present in the nose along with hints of passionfruit.
T: The taste follows the smell, except that there is a little more balance between the flavors of pineapples and passionfruit. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This IPA isn't nearly as juicy compared to other beers in the style but has a nice mix of tropical flavors in the taste.

Serving type: can

Nice beer...I don't think Im as much of a fan of the Vic Secret hop as I am of others??....Still learning....

 

Tall can......"NEIPA DDH Vic Secret"....no canning date or other kinda info.

Great looking NEIPA kinda pour, looks like lighter squash soup, custardy/creamy/luscious and intriguing. Super creamy/fluffy/lasting and large cap....lasts forever and then leaves more then ample lace bands and fields all up and down the glass.

Fresh tropical sniff, loaded with pineapple

Delicious, overly flavorful, super fresh and pungent....pineapple juice, leafy tea, ginger, lime...great achievement in NEIPA creation..impressive stuff...go DUBCO
