Pours a very hazy yellowish orange color with a white head which dissipates to lacing. Aroma is of tropical fruit especially pineapple, peaches and some hops. The taste follows the nose but beautifully balanced. Juiciness of tropical fruit followed by an excellently balanced bitterness of hops. Wow!! Great brew!!

Purchased at Dominion Wine & Beer. My good friend Mike Capaldi gave me this beer.
A - a bit uglier than your typical Mew England IPA. Cloudy opaque yellow, brownish with a nice three finger head. 3.5
S - More tropical than citrus fruits. But no brightness. Muted and not the juiciness that one expects with a NEIPA.

16 oz can poured into a teku glass.
L: Pours a murky yellow color with about a finger and a half of white head. As the head fades it leaves some very nice lacing along the glass.
S: Tons of tropical fruit the moment I opened the can. Guava, mango, ripe melon,
T: Similar to the nose, loads of fruits. Sweet pineapple, mango and orange as well as some pine with a nice bitter finish.
F: Good amount of carbonation with a nice creamy mouthfeel.
O: Fantastic NEIPA if you still like a nice hop bite. Commonweath make great IPAs and this is one of the best I've had from them.

L: Poured from a tallboy can to a snifter glass. Had a pale yellow color and an extremely cloudy consistency. There was a half inch of foamy, somewhat long-lasting head. Excellent lacing.
S: A sweet and enticing aroma of hops, citrus fruit, tropical fruit, malt, and pine.
T: Tasted of a whole lot of citrus fruit (orange, in particular), a hint of pine (fleeting, but there), a fair shot of hops (more than expected; slightly dank), light malt notes (mostly in the finish; not a huge element), some peaches, and a ton of tropical fruit (mango and guava). This is a sweet, well-formed flavor. Hoppier than most NE IPAs, but still sweet. Tasty.
F: A fair amount of carbonation with a smooth and creamy finish. Medium-bodied.
O: A well made, easy to drink beer. Drinkable.

Poured from a 16oz can into a spieglau glass
Look: Pale murky yellow with zero light getting through. Thick white head.
Smell: Papaya, guava, green mango, and peach. All hops.
Taste: Much like the smell but slightly muted. All fruity hops.
Feel: Light and clean given the ABV. Soft carbonation. Pillowy on the palate. No alcohol.
Overall: Another tasty NEIPA from these guys. Starting to become quite impressed with them.
