Not that I'm a fan of the murky style, but this is actually a decent NEIPA. Pours a slightly hazy amber with long-lasting foam in the tall goblet. Very fruity with a welcome tangy edge, but not the usual acidity that mars so many hazies. The taste is orange, of course, but fruited up with some pineapple perhaps and mango. Sharp and juicy to the max, but quite sippable. From the 16 oz can purchased at Elizabeth Station. Dated 12/2/24 so it seems to prove my belief that aging is good for NEIPAs.

Light amber, hazy pour, tight head. First nose is a blast of mixed fruit and vaguely Hawaiian Punch-like. The tropical fruitiness is a muddle of taste with no layering. We agree with the earler reviewer: it's unbalanced and seems low on bitterness and weak malt bill. It's ok, but could be bettered. Canned 7/13.

Pint can from the brewery, served in a pint glass. Canned on 07/13/20. Pale kind of hazy beer, which is to say more yellow than orange. Aroma has kind of a weird chemical note I can't place. Flavor is loaded with a multitude of flavorful hops. Good, but hard to describe the muddled mess of flavors that come through. Sultana, Sabro and Mosaic with some Simcoe and Amarillo. The can label claims 45 IBU, which is simultaneously not that much for a 6.5% IPA, but maybe a lot for a NE IPA. In any case, this isn't a total non-bitter juicy NE IPA.
Decent.

Look- Hazy darker orange juice color, large off-white head that slowly recedes to a thick cap of foam, ample sticky lacing. No carbonation streaming visible as it sits.
Smell- Huge coconut, tropical fruit (pineapple, passion fruit and mango), citrus (orange/tangerine, grapefruit and lemon), peach/nectarine, grainy malt, slight pine and mint, spicy/herbal notes.
Taste- Citrus and tropical fruit, coconut and stone fruit, grainy malt, light pine and a hint of mint.
Feel- Medium bodied, soft and sticky sweet up front with a slight lingering bitterness, pretty well balanced. Moderate/light carbonation on the tongue.
O- Pretty nice overall, but you'd have to be a big fan of Sabro hops to fully enjoy this one.
