East Coast IPA: Hazy and hoppy, brewed with barley, wheat and spelt malts, and hopped with Mosaic and Galaxy, Kitties in sunglasses...Decent.

Pours a cloudy murky light orange with a fast receding head that leaves an almost flat look. Smell has tropical berries and dark garden hemp.Taste fruity with stone,and passion fruit some citrus and a dank herbal finish. Mouth feel was soft and under carbonated it dis have a good amount of hops in the finish. This IPA was Decent and that was about it, would not buy again at @ $12 crowler,very expensive.

poured from a 750mL crowler into a forager pint glass. pours a murky orange with that soapy off-white that does not look dense and fades very quickly leaving zero lacing or any evidence it was ever there to begin with. smell is dank and tropical. really nice. the mosaic and galaxy play off each other so well. taste is a nice mixture of overripe tropical fruit and dank, pungent hops. feel is somewhat weak. borderline watery thin. definitely a negative mark on this beer, which otherwise showed promise of an exceptional IPA. pretty low ABV but still a lot of flavor, just wanted a little more mouthfeel.

Poured from a Crowler into a snifter. Canned 3/9/17.
A: Pours a super hazy, rusty orange in color with a one inch, frothy, tannish-cream colored head with short retention. Thin, white lacing throughout.
S: Big tropical fruit notes of pineapple, mango, guava, melons, orange, and tangerine with dank, piney, and floral hop notes as well.
T: Starts of with big grapefruit and citrus rind notes followed by tropical fruit notes of pineapple, melons, and guava. Finishes with a mild, lingering piney, resinous hop bitterness. Somewhat juicy.
F: Medium bodied. Smooth and crisp with moderate carbonation. Slightly dry on the finish.
O: Overall, this is a really good IPA. Hoppy, bitter grapefruit bomb that's slightly juicy. Would definitely give this one another try.

Pours a murky orange-brown with a foamy white head that fades fast.
Great aroma, orange juice and a bit of grapefruit.
Taste is OJ and grapefruit with a strong pithy bitterness. A touch acidic.
Mouthfeel is a bit thin.
Does not seem true to NE IPA style and not as good as their other efforts.

Poured from a crowler purchased the day before. Pours a murky, tawny color with minimal head. Almost no lacing is left down the glass. The brewpub pour looked better. Does not really look like something a person should drink, but this is the hot new thing in the beer world. If the color was brighter, it would look much more attractive. Amazing aroma however. Strong aroma of orange and grapefruit juice. Just pure unadulterated citrus. This does not really taste like beer and definitely not like an IPA. It tastes like citrus fruit juice with a bit of pith involved. Some zesty wheat in the finish is the only give away that this is a malt beverage. I do not think this really has a creamy mouthfeel that NE IPA purists say the style should have, but it is a nice medium bodied beer with lively carbonation.
