I got a can of this beer off the single shelf from my local beer store just around the corner. It poured a juicy hazy orangish with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had mellow dank citrus fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bold juicy fruit presence and fruit peel spice highlights. The mouthfeel was fuller in body and had good carbonation. Overall its a solid beer.

The New England style AIPA market is filled with similar tasting ales that are mostly excellent. This is a DIFFERENT tasting ale that is excellent.
It pours a dirty yellow with nice head that lingers. The aroma is a nice deeper hops smell than the usual. The taste is uniquely dark and less weedy than most of these. The hops profile is the big difference. It's very boozy throughout the experience, lingering nice and alcoholic. You won't hear any complaints from me.
Recommended. A bit overpriced, but this one is darker and boozier than you usual New
England, and thus more worthy.

Hazy orange gold with two finger foamy head, plenty of lacing. Aroma of peach, nectarine, pear. Taste is more sweet than bitter. Flavor; in addition to peach, nectarine, pear, there are tropical fruit and floral notes. Mouthfeel is medium full with a clean dry finish. Soft carbonation. Overall, I like this and I hope they keep it around for a while. Nice complexity, great flavor, easy drinking. Highly recommended.
