Inspired by and brewed for Run The Jewels. Pours hazy pale yellow. Aromas of dank pineapple lemon honeydew. Tangy citrus piney flavors with clean bitter finish. Brewed with Golden Promise and Vienna with Malted Oats for body and mouthfeel. Fermented with American Ale yeast. Hopped with Citra and Mosaic, and double dry-hopped with Mosaic hop dust.

Picked this up last year (yes, I'm behind! ) at Interboro as I grabbed the last 4-pack of this beer's initial run. It held up well over this time as there weren't any floaties in it and the taste was pretty spot-on with what other reviewers on here also detected. Acrid, slick, and smooth, this had quite a bit of fruit flavor to it but just needed a bit more hops and body to truly stand out!
Of course, the pour to this was gold with plenty of head to top it off. Plenty of haze to the liquid as there was quite a bit of lacing left behind as well, coating much of my pint glass. Tons of grapefruit and apricot in the nose with the malt coming through as well. White grape, champagne, lemon, and oats came through in the taste as this was full of citrus slickness and tang. A mild, earthy herbal undertone emerged as this warmed up with a strong floral presence coming through before all was said and done.
A low amount of alcohol and carbonation kept this from feeling too overpowering as there was enough body to counter all of the dank grapefruit that nearly overtook everything else. Not a bad brew but not among Interboro's best either. As usual, the label was on part with the liquid inside and was fitting for the Golden Promise Malts that served as it's backbone. Glad I snagged this before it ran out!

Murky peach color with off-white head. Aroma is quite yeasty but also hoppy with overripe citrus fruits. Taste is quite juicy and hoppy at first but the hops kick in with a grapefruit pith bitterness on the finish. Medium to light body and carbonation. A bit rough on the finish with a light burn but otherwise really tasty.

Another tall can, something printed on the bottom, but I cant make any sense of it
NE IPA look, fully clouded, delicate and fine strands of lacing left behind, after the moderate off white cap fades away.
Grapefruit, melon, mango on the sniff
Brightly flavorful and citric on the palate with again loads of grapefruit, soft mango, lime, melon, ample malt underlying it all. Simply delicious and nicely crafted. Yet another super tasty brew of this style, that now seem to be more and more available and that is a good thing, a real good thing.

L - nice golden golden body but head fades fast
S - super pungent!, dank, tropical, vinous, a little malt in the background
T - lots of flavor, lemon, onion, pine, toasty malts, medium minus sweetness and medium plus bitterness
F - low thickness and medium carbonation, burns in a hoppy way rather than an ABV way if that makes sense
O - wow, for a 6% single this really explodes in aroma and flavor, the dry hopping must have been massive on this one
