This beer was inspired by both East and West coast IPAs. Drawing its dank piney hop character from the West, and its smooth light bitterness, along with its dry "crushabilty" from the East, Vine Shine combines both styles to make a truly unique IPA.

Poured from a pint can, the beer has a faded yellow color with good head. Excellent Lacing.
Nose is light pine. Taste is dominated by the pine hop flavor, kicked up from the aroma. True to the New England style, the bitterness is low. Not much malt here. Unbalanced by design.
Mouthfeel is average with solid carbonation.
Light and easy drinking, this one is a pine lover’s beer.

I tried this on a business trip to New Jersey. It pours a moderately hazy gold color with a tall, thick, and firm lasting white head. The aroma is of fresh and 'wet' hops. There is a central citrus note...I get orange and grapefruit. The taste is softly sweet with some malt and juicy hop flavors. Pleasant mid-taste bitterness keeps this one engaging. Lingering hop finish. Very nicely done.

16 oz can poured into an IPA glass
Pours a beautiful golden/ copper. Slight haze & foamy head that fades. Hop forward on the taste. Pine. (I never really got the "pine" thing to be honest.... but this is it). This is West Coast to me... but apparently it is New England style.
Either way, good.stuff.

Canned 9/7/22. Poured a hazy golden straw color into a standard pint glass with a finger high off-white head that dissipates quickly and leaves spotty lacing. Dank citrus nose with whiffs of lemon peal and pine. Taste is hop forward, pungent & piney with hints of citrus & grapefruit, light maltiness also present. Medium bodied with slight carbonation and good structure. Overall a great NJ brew that's nearby and has a descent presence on the shelves now. Really like their DDH version of this whenever I can find it.

Would drink this IPA any day...canned 8/23, consumed 8/29. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with a bubbly white head that dissipates quickly. Dank piney, floral, and fruity aromas jump out of the glass upon pouring. Flavor is well balanced with a crisp, spicy finish and solid malt backbone. Drinkable but lets you take your time with it.

east meets west meets NJ. My 1st review from brewer.
a) Hazed with big lasting splashes of lace over puffy head.
s) Pungent citrus and pine, dank.
t) Follows smell, big, balanced. Seesaw of malt sweetness swinging to spice, resin, and sticky pine bitterness.
f) Melony creamsicle
o) One of Jersey's best.
