Date stamp not decipherable. Poured into a Samuel Adams Perfect Pint.
A: Mildly hazy golden with 1-2 fingers of off-white foamy head with decent retention and lacing.
S: Faint citrus lemon-lime with herbal undertones and some fruit punch popping through
T: Flavor is much bolder than the aroma with more pineapple, grapefruit, melon, mango, and lemongrass herbal notes coming through. Bitterness is sharper than most NEIPAs and I like it.
M: Mouthfeel is also more assertive with a more WCIPA feel in some ways, finishing drier and with less body than many in the style.
O: Kind of a hybrid NEIPA-WCIPA with good features of each. Definitely worth a try and another excellent IPA from Basic City.

Outstanding!
Hazy, pineapple juice pour with a fingernail head and little retention
Tropical, citrus nose right out of the pour that lingers and continues to contribute to the flavor.
Juicy and lots of citrus, tropical notes to keep the palate busy: pineapple, mango, mandarin orange...a little grapefruit rind in the back. A hint of biscuity malt that never rises up to interfere with "the juice". Crisp start, smooth finish, no lingering bitter. NICE!
