L: Poured from a tallboy can to a snifter glass. Had a bright yellow color and an extremely cloudy consistency. There was a an inch and a half of creamy, very long-lasting head. Fantastic lacing.
S: A solid aroma of dank hops, some tropical fruit, pepper, a vinous quality malt, and citrus fruit.
T: Tasted of a fair amount of citrus fruit (orange, lemon), a bit of the peppery quality, a decent bit of dank hops (more than average for the style), a tinge of malt (mostly in the finish; not a big factor), some of the vinous quality (a subtle presence), and some tropical fruit (guava, mango). An interesting, well made flavor. Pretty tasty.
F: A well-carbonated beer with a smooth and creamy finish. Medium-bodied.
O: A solidly done NE IPA. Drinkable.

Poured from a 16oz can into a spieglau glass
Look: Hazy peach juice with a thick white head. Completely opaque.
Smell: Muted fruit like unripe melon, white grape, pepper, and some guava. All hops.
Taste: Much like the taste. Though there is a pronounced bitterness from the white grape and pepper note that muted everything even more.
Feel: Medium plus bodied. Medium bitterness. A hint of alcohol. Soft carbonation.
Overall: Just alright. That weird bitterness and muted fruit bites is just not what I am looking for in this style of beer. Good for them in try new hops and making something different. Just didn’t hit the heights of their other beers.
