Had on tap at Pizza J in Prov, RI. Very good IPA, Hazy, New England juice bomb. I want to say I tasted a hint of banana. Perhaps that was the pleasant surprise?

On-tap 3/25/2017 at Pizza J’s in Providence, RI, served in a tulip glass.
A: The beer is a cloudy yellowish gold color, with a short off-white head that fades very slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains strong fruity citrus, floral hops and caramelized malts.
T: The taste starts out with a strong floral and dank hops bitterness that is quickly followed by a nice fruity citrus sweetness. The malt character is hearty but not too heavy and brings very good balance. The after-taste is hoppy and slightly sweet.
M: Crisp and very smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
O: Very tasty, goes down quite easily, not too filling, good kick, good representation of style, this is a nice hoppy juice-bomb to drink for a long time.
