A pithy explosion of aroma and flavor, beyond hazy, and hopped with Mosaic and Citra to the point of stickiness.

Pours a hazed gold with a pinky of beige head. Above average head retention & lacing
S: Some tropical fruits, a little citrus. Picks up steam as it warms up. Mango & melons also
T: Follows the nose, but in spades, plenty of orange especially, a little dryness & green melon up front. Oranges, green melons, dryness as this beer warms. Finishes with pomelo, lime & a kiss of pineapple
MF: Medium body, subtle carbonation, good balance
Very easy to drink, plenty of awesome flavor, pretty much everything you look for in this style

16oz can at share.Normal pour for the style, pale and hazy. Tropical aromas and flavors abound, kind of a milky consistency. Pretty standard for a NE IPA, but not too shabby.

16 oz. can dated 10/3/2023 from a local store’s refrigerated storage
Light dull golden haze with two fingers fine white head. Full curtain lacing and surface cap. Nothing floating nor mucking up the can.
Very nice pine, grapefruit, melon aromas.
Tasty pine, pineapple, pale malt, grapefruit pith, light pepper flavors.
More bracing hoppy mouthfeel than many NEIPA’s. Good carbonation. Hops still vibrant two months after canning. Nice bitter hops aftertaste.
Very much to my liking.

Pours hazy, milky gold in color with one half inch head. Taste is lemon, lime, and citrus hops. Medium body, moderate carbonation, slightly bitter. Solid but not spectacular neipa. Would not turn it down, would not rush out for it again.

Good Hazy IPA. But didn't seem great my last few times. Maybe I'm getting tired of hazys. Update: Drinking one now, smells good, lightly floral & citrus poured in a glass. Tates... perfectly OK. Just not as complex as I'd like. Also - is it "retired?" Packaged date on my 16oz can, purchased at Whole Foods UWS Manhattan says "10/2/23."

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a good-sized, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of orange peel, grapefruit, pineapple and sweet caramel. Great tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel, piney bitterness and some toffee sweetness.

Pours cloudy hazy golden yellow with a frothy white foam head. Smells like grapefruit, orange citrus, tropical fruit, peach, mango, pineapple, passionfruit, pink berries, bubblegum, watermelon, mild doughy malt, with dank resinous earthy herbal grassy pine. Tastes like bubblegum, watermelon, pink berries, tropical fruit, passionfruit, mango, pineapple, peach, orange citrus, grapefruit, some doughy malt, with dank resinous earthy herbal grassy pine. Feels medium bodied, creamy with smooth moderate carbonation. Overall a nice hazy IPA.

Typical of the NE pale ale style, it's a hazy and unappealing looking yellow with a dense, clotted cream head of white foam that has good retention if little lacy cling.
The aroma is citra orange and mosaic grapefruit ( or have I got them mixed up? ) in a citrus overload nose that just warns of carbonated juice to come on the palate.
Not a lot of malt or grain flavor or character to balance and subdue the harsh citric acidity and this just kinda sits there on the spectrum of all the cloudy not-at-all-like a real IPA beers that dominate the store shelves and bar taps wherever I go.
This just makes me want a real beer.
