New England Style IPA
It’s a wonder how juicy and smooth this beer can be – hopped with Simcoe, Mosaic, Citra, Ella, and Falconers Flight. The citrusy/floral hops are balanced with a smooth mouthfeel and peachy aroma from the Vermont IPA yeast.

Wonder Dust a a yummy offering that is fresh, fruit forward, and nicely hopped. This SF Hazy IPA is a great match for spicy food, or on it's own. I would compare this to top NEIPAs from New England and it would be toward the top of my list.

Cloudy, light orange color with minimal head and beautiful lacing.
Smell hits like a tropical fruit punch with notes of apricot, orange and peach.
Taste follows nose but not overly sweet, tropical flavors linger. Light mouthfeel with exceptionally smooth finish and almost nonexistent alcohol notes.
Overall, this is a delicious beer that drinks like a session. Would definitely buy again.

Tropical fruity, slightly yeasty, hoppy nose on this one! Taste follows with a citrus hoppy bitter bite. This is better than I was expecting! It finishes clean and crisp. It has a good mouthfeel and is really crushable coming in at 6.9% ABV!

The least of the 13 phenomenal Barebottles I've tried. Malty and yeasty and dominated by apricot more so than peach. This was thicker bodied and probably a wonderful juicy beverage, but less so for me.

Poured from bottle.
A: Light crisp hop scent, resembles pine and tropical fruit. Hint of green tea.
A: Hazy, copper hue with thin head. Head retention was quite short.
F: A little malty, with evidence of yeast. A sweet kick with light pine on tongue.
M: Light body, smooth finish, easy to drink
O: A light body IPA with some uncommonly seen scent and flavor. A good beer to drink.

Pours murky orange, with a bright white frothy head. The head retention is above average, but lacing is below average. Smell is fairly pungent, even for the style. It's full of tangerine and tropical notes, that undoubtedly come courtesy of crap ton of Mosaic hops that went into the recipe. Taste follows the nose well. The beer is quite juicy, with the same sweet citrus flavors (if that makes sense). There is just enough bitterness in there to round out the overall experience. Feel is spot-on NEIPA: fairly light carbonation, pillowy body, zero hints of alcohol. A very good NEIPA, probably the best that these guys make.
