Pours a very hazed straw color with plenty of effervescence with 3+ finger of whippy pearl colored head. Great head retention & lacing
S: Oranges in spades, along with pineapple
T: Follows the nose, plus dryness & a little mango up front. A little orange and pineapple, along with dryness as this warms, Finishes with grapefruit & a little dryness
MF: Fairly light-bodied, slight carbonation, decent balance
Very drinkable, a pretty good shot at the style, but just middle of the pack

Draught Pleasant aromas of pineapple and evergreen forest translates to taste. Very nice mouthfeel.

Unfiltered New England style IPA brewed with Citra and Mosaic. Poured from a pint can into a New Belgium tulip. The pour is very hazy and pale gold in color - almost like pineapple juice - and sports about a finger of rocky white head. I get soft, juicy citrus fruit on the nose. Lemons, peaches, oranges, and honeydew melon.
Medium-light body with a firm feel. Up front I get oyster crackers with a little lemon rind, then those citrusy hops kick in and I'm met by more lemon, some grapefruit, and some pineapple. Finishes dry with lingering hints of lemon. Very nice!

In the same vein as wicked weeds pernicious on all levels but just with a fuller body and leaning more toward the NEIPA trend. For NC IPAs, this one is in the top 5 for me for sure. If you want a clean and smooth IPA that won’t be a bitter bomb or juice bomb, this is a pleasant one worth snagging. Candied fruits, peach rings and blueberries. Price point at $4.99 a can is kinda steep though?
