Super murky orange color and very nice head and retention.
No shortage of scents of fresh squeezed orange juice here.
Real upfront citrus, orange and grapefruit. Not sweet and good hop notes.
I would gladly drink more.

Gorgeous hazy golden color with a white head, this beer features dank citrus notes including ripe oranges and grapefruit, and some berry notes as well.
The taste is led by the dank citrus flavors with ripe berries on the finish, really well balanced. Mouthfeel is soft per the style. A really delicious NEIPA from anothe Massachusetts brewery that’s new to me.

16 oz can, dated 4/13/21, into Pipeworks Willie. Thank you Evan!
Juice here, very blonde and creamy, with a finger of head that recedes to a creamy thin ring leaving a wall of lacing.
Clean pine and fresh water along with mango, peach, red grapefruit, starfruit, and juicy oranges make up this aroma.
Flavor is banana milkshake, peach yogurt, grapefruit, lemon zest, fresh pine water, and doughy malt. It finishes up on fresh wet pine and slight grass. Fantastic.
Feel is juicy and assertive; buzzing in its carbonation; semi-creamy; slight heat; and a final hit of hop resins and palate cling.
Overall, it's beers like these that turned me into an IPA fan. I love how balanced and flavorful this is. I don't care how many brewers are doing haze these days, this is where it started and where it remains. Fantastic brew artistry. Would have again.
Goes good with heavy petting.

S:. Notes of kiwi, pineapple, lemon and grapefruit, notes of earthy hops, and a weedy dank hop.
T:. Sweet and sugary, notes of kiwi, melon, grapefruit rind and notes of lemon. Very little bitterness.

I really enjoyed just about every aspect of this beer from look to aroma to mouthfeel and finish, this is easily in my top 10 now. I know I can be prisoner of the moment sometimes but I really think this is one the best New England IPAs I've had in a while.

As a beer connoisseur this is just a hit. Love the taste to the palate love the hops the tangerine aroma is mind blowing. The ripe stones fruits, the hint of grapefruit to the back makes this beer really stand out and stands out bold. My wife says she thinks I’m going crazy now . I’m a professional, and personal chef. Also do chef consultant in my spare time runs my own business and now I’m a beer connoisseur. But IPA is just my favorite beer of all time.

Can from Vinyl Beer on the UES NYC. Pours a hazy golden orange with a finger of fluffy white head, nice lacing, smell is citrus rind and pine-y cotton candy, hints of stone fruit and marshmallow, taste is grapefruit zest, pine, hints of caramel malts, mild pithy bitterness, feel is medium bodied, creamy, sharp carbonation. Edgy, mysterious, but sweet, just like a cat’s meow.

by UWDAWG from Washington
Poured from a 16 ounce can into a IPA glass.
Look- Straw, very hazy, slightly above average head retention and lacing, frothy white head.
Smell- Grassy, grapefruit, pineapple.
Taste- Grapefruit, super abrasive and unsavory grassy/earthy flavor.
Feel- Between thin and medium body, medium bitterness, very astringent lingering finish that crawls down the throat, average carbonation.
Overall- Very unbalanced aggressive and unpleasant grassy/earthy flavor.

Pours a hazy orange/yellow with a fluffy head that diminishes to lacing.
Smells of pine , citrus and pineapple. Tastes of peppery grapefruit citrus and pineapple. Mildly bitter finish.
Medium body and light carbonation. Lush lightly syrupy mouthfeel.
A very enjoyable NE IPA!
