Hazy orange. Citrusy hop aroma and flavor with light berry hop character from Mosaic; juicy. Good balance with moderate bitterness. Medium bodied and smooth with a warming finish.

Pours a hazy pale gold, white head provides some nice lacing.
Nose says fruit, tastes buds agree. Smooth, creamy texture.
Can't believe this one a gold medal.

16 ounce can into a tulip snifter. Had 7/1/21.
Pours a hazy yellow orange, with a one inch foamy head and some foamy lacing. Aromas of orange, some grapefruit, malt, mango, some grassy hops. Smells lightly dank. Flavors of orange, grapefruit, malt, pine, light mango, grassy hops, a light hop bitterness. Smooth, a very good light to medium body, well carbonated.
Lots of citrus with a solid malt backbone. The resiny and grassy hops sharpen the flavor. Enjoyable.

poured from an undated 16oz can into a CW snifters. pours a neon orange with a finger of firm white foam head. aromas of pine and oranges and to a lesser extent blueberries and peach. the pine comes in strong with a slightly off-putting malty smell. i don’t get any of that malty, almost west coast flavor that i get on the nose. instead the citrus and blueberry from the nose are there and met with a touch of peach. a medium-full mouthfeel with a fairly soft creaminess to it. really enjoyable DIPA. glad to have finally tried.

A: The beer is very hazy amber yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of mangos are present in the nose along with notes of limes, lychee and stone fruit.
T: Moderate aromas of mango and lime are present in the nose along with notes of lychee. Little to no bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels nearly medium-bodied and juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This New England-style IPA has lots of citrusy and tropical aromas and flavors in the smell and taste.
Serving type: can

Hazy yellow with a sudsy white head that slowly fades into a collar and lacing. Orange creamsicle, grapefruit, leafy and grassy hops in the nose. Taste starts with a combo of papaya, peach, and grapefruit, before the bitter and leafy hops cascade down, but then surprisingly from the depths come orange creamsicle, honeydew, and lime. Memorable. Feel does great to have hop sharpness and movement, fruity haze, and a generally bright feel

Regular beezer is better. The boozy abv overwhelms the taste.
