L: Poured from 16oz can into pint glass. Thick golden hue, looks like it would drink heavy. Slightly off white head with nice lacing.
S: Well balanced on the nose, pulpy citrusy smell, hints of orange, mango and melon, slight maltiness as well.
T: Intial taste is comparable to its nose, blasting orange and melon with a quick bitter aftertaste.
F: Not highly carbonated, smooth and creamy but not overly so.
O: Solid offering from CW (what isnt), though not one of my favorites. Still head and shoulders better than most of what is out there.

L: Poured from a tallboy can to a snifter glass. Had a dark orange color and a very cloudy consistency. There was an inch and a half of foamy, somewhat long-lasting head. Above average lacing.
S: A very nice aroma of hops, citrus fruit, malt, and tropical fruit.
T: Tasted of a good amount of citrus fruit (orange, in particular), a hint of malt (mostly in the finish), a moderate amount of hops (just enough to make things interesting), and some tropical fruit (mango, passion fruit). This is a sweet and subtle flavor. There are fruitier NE IPAs, but this one definitely did dump a whole lot of fruits in it. Pretty tasty.
F: An average amount of carbonation with a smooth and creamy finish. Medium-bodied.
O: An extremely solid NE IPA. Worth a try.

A: The burnt umber label with abstract white confetti and sky blue balls bespeaks a day at the beach. Beer itself is very turbid, peach colored nectar. Head is a dirty white akin to sea foam.
S: Pretty outrageous fruit salad explosion like walking into a tiki hut. Sensing fresh pineapples, mangos, cedar, coconut, and tangerine. Takes a turn for the astringent with just too much sharp rubbing alcohol.
M: Med-body with lots of juice. Very creamy and superfine carb.
T: Very cocktail-esque. Strong elements of coconut liqueur, like digging in and getting the macerated pulp and letting it ferment with crushed pineapple. The coconut imparts a distinct earthy floral quality, of which I'm not the biggest of fans, and it is very pronounced in this beer. Has an orange-mint tic-tac finish. No bitterness. I had a beer from Carton recently, Blue Milk, which had the same albeit sharper flavorpoints. They nailed the creamy sensation on this beer.
