A New England Style Pale Ale brewed with Eureka and an experimental hop currently called 07270. Resinous and fruity, this beer sings with notes of spruce, mango, and tangerine, and drinks smooth wIth semi-dry finish and velvety mouthfeel.

Canned 7/11/18
Pours a decent foamy fizzy 1/2 finger head that fades at a med pace, touch of lacing, hazy sediment laden pale orange color
Nose big fruity hop, citrus, grapefruit, a little pithy, tangerine, rind, touch mango like tropical but mild creamy malt
Taste more of the same, but starting with toasted pale malt, slight touch of creamy note, fair bitterness, lots of citrus especially orange rind, citrus oils, a little grapefruit pith, tangerine, little grassy note, drier finish but get super bitter, lots of orange rind and earthy ESB like bitterness
Mouth is med bod, a bit light on carb but decent
Overall this is a nice beer but misses a lot of marks to make it a "New England Style" pale. If it didn't say that I would give it much higher marks. Not really that soft creamy, same with haze, not a huge tropical/citrus fruit juice forward, but most of all it's very bitter like super bitter finish that is completely opposite of a NEIPA style.

Cloudy pineapple-golden color in a Stone IPA glass. 4F head. Excellent head retention.
The aroma is not as pronounced as expected: earthy, fruity.
Taste: one of the best tastes that I have tasted in the style. Sharp, pronounced citrus- grapefruit, orange, perhaps some tropical fruit.
The mouth feel is very smooth for an APA, and is a little sticky. Usually, the MF in a APA is light body with an emphasis on carbonation.
Very hoppy, spicy finish.
One of the best APA's I have tasted. I am generally not a fan of the style, especially when the beer is over-carbonated and hoppy which dwarfs the taste. Great beer!

Dated 7/11/18 on the bottom of can, 2.5 weeks since brewing.
Pours a hazy dark golden with a finger of dense white head. Nose of strong dank resinousness and citrus; notes of nectarine, kumquat, sage, slight pepper and toasted white bread. Taste, just like the nose has a strong dank resin note, along with hefty herbaceous character that I only picked up as sage in the nose; herbs like lemongrass, clover and majoram. Even the citrus notes taste over-ripened and dank because of it. Not bad, but a lot more than I was expecting. Mouthfeel is a smooth medium body with a lower than average carbonation. Overall a 50% West coast, 25% East coast 25% European brew. Reminds me of Lamplighter's Sneaker Wave collab with Borg Brugghus, although it focuses on other herbaceous notes than the thyme of that brew. If I see this around again, I'll definitely pick another set up.
