Draft at rail trail
Fair creamy fizzy head with moderate retention, some lacing, cloudy pale orange color

Nose brings plenty of citrus, tangerine, a bit of berry, some melon fruit, some other exotic citrus

Taste brings more fruit, citrus tangerine, a little stone fruit apricot, then into mild berry notes, juicy soft, a bit of green spicy hop, some bitterness, no extra water softening minerals so thankfully not chalky, little creamy flaked proteins, alittle melon rind, finishing with more green spicy hops, a little resin

Mouth is med bod, soft juicy, med carb

Overall not bad, good hop fruits, no extra water softening minerals, hops do get a little green spicy so maybe it needs a bit more conditioning for that too drop out

16 oz can

pours a cloudy light yellow color, with white head. decent head retention. very fruity aroma - strawberry, lychee, white grape. taste is similar, very mild bitterness, but also not overly sweet. softer mouthfeel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Crazy flavor like nothing I’ve ever tasted. Grape bubblegum. Maybe strawberry or kiwi. But it is unique.

 

 

Pours a hazy golden with pillowy white head. Ripe strawberry and kiwi on the nose. There's strawberry and some mint or maybe sage. Some citrus as well, like that Halo clementine. That herbal note on the finish is earthy in a not bad way. It gives it some nice dimension.

Poured from a can dated 12/15/21 to a Nonic at fridge temp.
A 2-finger white puffy head sits on an opaque hazy apricot-colored body. Held up to the sun only the sides of the glass glow slightly. The head creates some pretty good lacing.
Aroma is mild citrus- grapefruit and orange with some dankness.
The taste is sweet citrus, mostly orange with a slight hop burn finish.
Mouthfeel is slightly coating and the carbonation comes on stronger at the finish for some reason.
Overall, a pretty good NEIPA, but not super one.

16oz can served in a Mayflower pint glass. Dated 08/18/21. Received as a retaliation from @WunderLlama in NBW BIF #14.

Pours a hazy light golden with a medium sized head. Smell is fairly mild, but I get tropical and melon juice out of it. If I sniff straight from the can, maybe some bubble gum.

Taste is lots of bubble gum and a little melon. Moderate dry/bitter finish leaning toward melon rind but also exhibiting some pith.

Mouthfeel is medium to light, fairly dry, very nice. Overall, very nice beer.

Canned 8.18, opened 10.7

Pint can received in an Lif associated with Bif13 from @roguer

Poured into a handbell ipa glass, one finger frothy white foam cap over a translucent golden orange liquid, active streams of micro carbonation, good lacings

Faint orange citrus aroma, whiff of strawberry

Taste is dank , cannabis,

Mouthfeel is smooth , soft, plush hop taste , soft hop bite

Picked-up a single can at Fox Farm Brewery in Salem, Connecticut for about four dollars. My fourth brew reviewed from these guys. This wS fine, just did not stand out.

Excellent head production and lacing; great retention. Body is fairly hazy but not quite opaque, and a dark orange color, almost like burnished gold or light brass.

Juicy, tropical fruit aroma, laced with a modest dankness and sharp herbal character.

Similar on the palate. Light citrus and tropical fruit: melon, mango, lemon, and tangerine. The dankness is notable up front, along with a slightly dirty, earthy pungency, but that quickly fades, giving way to the fruitier hop notes. Not a ton of malt character; fairly light and thin bodied.

Soft mouthfeel, but a touch thin; really nice up front, but lacks any lasting impact.
