I got a can of this beer off the single shelf from my local beer store located just around the corner. It poured a hazy orangish with thin white head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had a sharp hop nose that featured almost a subtle lime with hint on mint....mojitoish. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with a childhood memory like flavor....I remember getting rainbow bubblegum from Baskin Robbins and the taste reminds me of the bubble gum from that wonderful summer treat. There is a sharp citrus peel hop flare. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

 

 

Looks like a typical NE-style IPA. A touch on the dark side. Also could be a bit hazier. Burst of citrus at first, but descends into a blueberry/onion nose (Mosaic?) that I don't particularly care for. Tastes of an absolutely average NEIPA.

 

 

 

 

 

Milkshake whitish, dirty gold. Excellent streaky lacing from the modest starting head.

Smooth, creamy, and bitter. Solid malt base.

Straight up bitterness nearly from the start. Neutral body with an above average carbonation level. The malt is so brief as to make it hard to capture. It's definitely dry and pale. The hop is rather one dimensional -- bitter without nuance.
