Had for the first time. Very pleasantly surprised, very tasty, smooth and clean. Has a smooth, juicy, and hazy “New England” style IPA. Very happy and highly recommend.

 

 

 

Cloudy orange yellow color,medium body and carbonation. Aroma was definitely orange followed by grapefruit,tropical fruit, and a mild sour smell. Taste was almost identical, a bit sweet, just a tad bit of bitterness on the finish. I can see people not liking this but it was different and had a lot of flavor. It was lacking the pine bitterness that is common but that made this even more easy to drink

2018 batch: opened 6/7/2018
Stand by my 2018 review. This separates itself from the others by their flavor.
Totally drinkable. You can down it before you realize its over 8%
Fresh too. Nice !

Look: looks like a beer ( I almost always say that now!) gold IPA color. You can tell the malt i present in t he color.
Smell:mellow smell. Not dank or hop in your face smell. Mellow.
Taste: creamy malt taste with the IPA hop presence. Mellow hop. Almost like 60 malt 40 hop taste.
If this is there way to be different , then this is how they are doing it.
OVERALL: for a local NJ brew. Its a drinkable IPA. I think the booze hits later
Almost a “bready”imperial IPA you smell the hop but taste threw creamy bready malt flavor.

And thats my review.

 

A butter bomb. Smells and tastes just like butter. Not even sure I can find anything else about this beer. Not hazy just straight creamy.

I've had this at the brewery several time. Still don't get all of the hype. They claim it's a "New England Style" but it isn't at all. It's still tasty, but 17 mile blows it away for what it claims to be.
