The IPA that bears its name presents a hazy deep yellow in the glass. The aroma packs a bright citrus punch upfront, boasting notes of candied grapefruit and pithy orange juice. The secondary notes are complex, with Simcoe and Amarillo contributing underlying layers of papaya, fresh pine, ripe cantaloupe, and a melange of stone fruit. Medium-bodied and balanced, Franklin Park finishes with a subtle, refreshing bitterness.

Poured from 16oz can into my BeerAdvocate teku. No date on the can that I could see.
Appearance: medium golden-orange hue with a decent haze and a finger of frothy ivory foam atop.
Smell: fairly bursting with apricot, mango, and passionfruit — exactly what I like in a beer like this! There was no canned-on date, but this thing smells pretty darn fresh. Excellent!
Taste: moderately sweet for the style with a flavor that is more stone fruit and citrus than tropical. Maybe not quite the delicious blast of the aroma, but still pretty great.
Mouthfeel: medium-light body with a good carbonation and a pretty smooth texture.
Overall: this beer ticks most of the boxes for what I like in a hazy. Tasty, and more than that, suited to my palate. Yum!

Not only throwing a bunch of hops at the beermaking map, the Brewers also throw hops to tribute the famous region of the Boston area of Franklin Park. A double dry hopped, New England IPA that carries a new world hop aroma and flavor with an old world bitterness.
Franklin Park plops into the glass with a creamy and foggy pour as its grainy silt renders the beer basically opaque. As a creamy meringue slowly separates from the ale underneath, a radiant hop display of citrus, tropical fruit, melon, orchard fruit and fragrant woods create a bright and fresh perfume. Creamy and sweet once on the tongue, the early flavors are plump with cereal, honeysuckle and angel food cake.
With the grain sweetness stewing about the tastebuds, a rise of hops reveal a branch-ripe freshness of tangerine, pink grapefruit and lime while staying juicy with honeydew, papaya and pawpaw. A racier tropical taste of passionfruit and pineapple round out a tropical flavor before the beer eventually develops a malty-dry character balanced with resinous and peppery pine, hemp, tea and verbena.
Medium bodied and trending drier through the session. the beer shows remarkable refreshment, dryness and drinkability considering how bold with fruit and creaminess that the session starts with.
