Delivers a nice mix of tropical & citrus fruit with plenty of drinkability

16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of pineapple, orange, grasses, pine and caramel. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a sharp bitterness.

Very hazy golden color with a respectable foamy white head and some decent lacing. The aroma is citrus, mango, pasion fruit and a bit of pine. The taste is mildly sweet grapefruit, lemon, tangerine, mango, guava and passion fruit, with a bit of caramel malt. The finish is dry with lingering grapefruit and pine, moderate bitterness . The body is medium/full, good carbonation, fairly smooth, very easy to drink. Altogether, this is s classic New England style IPA with some west coast notes, very tasty and refreshing, excellent.
