Milky and cloudy with a yellow-white golden color. Lasting, dense head. Extensive blanketing on the glass.
Complex smell of the bark, apricots, and cotton candy. In a word, juicy. A bit of candy (Gummies?) sweetness on subsequent smells.
Higher carbonation than expected. Flavorful with the candy sweetness coming through strongest. There’s a mild sourness in the swallow with a lighter hop bitterness. If you like your IPAs juicy but not bitter, this is one to seek out.

Hazy pear color. Citrusy, light melon and light funky hop aroma and flavor; Motueka is not too strong in this one gladly. Good balance with little to no bitterness; fairly juicy. Medium bodied and fairly creamy.

Appearance: Pours a murky goldenstraw with a two finger head that fades to a thin cap; squiggles of lacing
Smell: Juicy Fruit gum, strawberry and orange tones
Taste: Strawberry forward with the Juicy Fruit gum flavor developing; while the orange flavors don't arrive until the middle, they are overwhelmed by the Juicy Fruit; low to moderate bitterness with a fruity finish
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate to high carbonation; somewhat creamy
Overall: The Juicy Fruit flavors make this a rather unique offering in the NE IPA style; not my favorite flavor profile but certainly enjoyable

Received from a beer advent calendar exchange. Canned 11/17/20. Looks like a glass of orange juice. Little to no head or lacing. Juicy taste with a more herbal and piney aroma. Maybe the most orange jive like Mew England IPA I have ever had.

Hazy yellow-orange to tan with no head...
Smell is dank with oat, spicy pepper and burnt rubber.
Taste is Smarties and tart lemon with strawberry, wheat, straw and spicy mint with a pillowy body and chalk dry finish.
