Pours a hazy golden straw color with a nice fresh head ...looks great. Smell is herbal and dank with citrus ,pear and melon. Taste is more vegetal and herbal than tropical it musty and dank with hops in a medicinal way. Mouth feel herbal fruity and dank also with some bitterness, 1 can enough for me, not NE ,WC or 3rd coast.

 

 

Reviews for this beer are all over the map but the can I got was really nicely dialed in. Whatever diacetyl issues might have been present two years ago have been cleaned up. It’s a gorgeous looking beer with great aromatics and falls right in my wheelhouse for ipas these days - its got tropics fruitiness and medium sweetness but that’s quickly swept away by dank undertones and moderate but welcome bitterness that cleans it all up and has you back for another taste. Feet in both NEIPA and west coast (ish) camps and that really appeals to me.

Minimalist label with little info including the brewery name and logo you have to search to find.
Murky, deep yellow beer with a big bubble head with no tenacity or cling.
Aroma is a n inviting mix of citrus, boiled white sugar and some flowery scents.
The flavor is sweet up front that quickly segways into sharp hop flavors and a bitter bite. All in fair balance until the finish where it's all hops. Mouth drying and astringent, the initial lush mouth feel is sucked away by the puckery, wet grass and endive after taste.
The medium body carries the malt just so far but at least this has a firm hop character - nothing soft here.

Tall can, w/o canning date or freshness info to be had.....from the Green Growler Grocery, Croton-On-Hudson, NY

Fully hazed/clouded NEIPA style, leaves a load of fluffy lace, and assorted froth.

Pungent and fresh smelling brew with tropical fruits abounding.

On the palate its more of the same from the sniff, pineapple, melon, mango, kiwi and a hint of soft lime all coming to mind. Flavorful, soft, smooth and thoroughly delicious and fully worthy brew....Fine creation from Civil Society in Florida

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy whitish yellow in color. It poured with a short white head that quickly died down, leaving a minuscule collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of grapefruit and herbal hops are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of herbal hops along with notes of stone fruit and hints of grapefruit. Only a slight amount of bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and somewhat juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer goes down very easily and has no traces of alcohol whatsoever in the taste.

Serving type: can
