Light At The End of The Tunnel uses Photon as its inspiration with some modifications and upgrades including an all Survivable hop blend for the whirlpool and a large dose of Lupomax Citra in addition to a supersized Photon hop bill. Aromas and flavors of soft pineapple, navel orange, stone fruit, EQ’s rainbow melon, and lime juice radiate with a touch of pine resin at the finish making this beer an easy drinking accompaniment to celebrate the fact that we hopefully have the finish line in site.

Pours a super-hazed gold with 2+ fingers of whippy/tight pearl colored head; slight gusher. Very good head retention & even better lacing
S: White grapes, breadyness
T: Follows the nose, pomelo notes & dry as well up front, some peach as well. Faint grapefruit, more dryness, white grapes & some green melon once this beer warms up. Finishes dry with pomelo, white grape & green melon
MF: Medium body, soft, creamy carbonation; great balance
Nice drinkability, nice fruity IPA

IPA - New England / Hazy
Very light bodied and airy feel for the style
. Strange how 6.8% abv seems so light, mild, and easy. Earthy, tart citrus, golden grains, and stone fruit hop blend had a very hearty balance.

Undated can into pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy medium gold with a persistent off-white head. Great lacing. Initial impression is orange, pineapple, and a slight pine bitterness. Mouthfeel is smooth and soft. Finish fades to citrus and a bit of piney bitterness. Quite enjoyable.

Poured into a Trillium glass a pretty nice cloudy yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice creamy sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (oranges, tangerines, pineapple, grapefruit, mango, apricots, nectarines, peach, melon, papaya), pretty nice diesel like. The taste is very nice, hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, apricots, nectarines, peach, melon, papaya), very nice diesel like. Medium body, ABV hidden very well, with a nice dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a very tasty beer. MilkShake! Orange Julius! Addictive!

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of orange, melon, pineapple and sweet caramel. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a sharp, grassy bitterness.
