Good, but lacking that something extra. You want something more from it, but it just doesn't have it. Get a Built to Spill instead.

Cloudy gold color with a white hue. Foamy, long lasting head that settles to film and rim bubbles. Wider streaks.

Apricot, bubblegum aroma. In a word, juicy. Mild floral hop nose.

Surprisingly well-balanced with lots of flavor. Full bodied with lighter carbonation. Less juicy (and sweet) than the smell but the malt is fully present. The peppery hop is mild and it enhances the overall flavor positively. Shorter aftertaste.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy goldenstraw with a two finger head; good retention and a few shards linger

Smell: Pineapple, kiwi, passion fruit and lime tones

Taste: Juicy flavors forward, with pineapple, kiwi and passion fruit flavors; like the other Foam beers, a lemon/lime flavor appears in the middle; increasingly resinous and moderately bitter, in the finish

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation

Overall: This is the juiciest of the four Foam NE IPAs I have tasted this go round

I've had several beers from Foam. This one is definitely my favorite. Tropical with noticeable bubble gum flavor. Medium high carbonation with a medium body.

Picked-up a single can at Stowe Public House in Stowe, Vermont for seven dollars, drank on premises. My eighth brew from these guys. Like all Foam beers that I have had, good, not great, very expensive.

Good beer and started to open up as it warmed up. It has a light straw hue and poured nicely with an inch of “foam” on top which disappeared after 5 minutes. The smell is dank hidden fruit punch. Nice and tasty and has a tinge of fruity bubble gum taste with very little bitterness. The feel is crisp and noticeably vibrant. Great beer.

ONE PINT can
Served in a stemless wine glass

This beer pours a dull yellow and is topped with a couple inches of eggshell head that leaves spotty lacing.

Not a whole lot of aroma. i get some tropical fruit. I get an almost tart smell.

Light flavor for a DIPA. I get some citrus and tropical fruit. Hints of melon. Mild bitterness in the finish.

Medium bodied with a slightly chalky mouthfeel

Another hazy that gets lost in a crowded style. I like the style. It just seems like a lot of them taste the same. This one has no attributes to elevate it above the masses.

Unimpressed. More boring than most in a world of copy cat/can’t fail NE IPAs. 3.25

Canned on 3/31/21 8:59 “Hibernation.” Poured into a shaker pint.

A - Typical New England IPA. Pours a brownish dull cloudy yellow. 3.75

S - Muted aroma. Not bright. Some spiciness. Low to no fruitiness. 3.5

T - Low bitterness, some citrus, more malty almost chalky. 3.0

MF - Medium bodied, dry finish, smooth almost coating. 3.75
