Pours a hazy orange. Tangerine and pineapple on the nose. There's tangerine, pineapple, some mango. It really gets that gelatinous, tangy citrus fruit character. There's some peppery bitterness on the finish. This is a pretty good NEIPA.

From a white rectangle on the sticker label: "10/30/19"
Appearance: The body of the beer is a pale manilla envelope color. It has a thick frothy white head with very good retention. The body is opaque.
Aroma: It smells like over-ripe mango and it has a bit of a sangria scent.
Taste: It has a bit of a grapefruit pith and pulp flavor with a light bit of tangerine character in the mix. There isn't a lot going on with the flavor but it's decent.
Mouthfeel: It has a medium-low bitterness that is more present in the aftertaste. The body feels thick and smooth but a bit chewy.
Overall: It is a pretty good New England IPA that has just enough aroma and flavor to keep it slightly interesting but not enough to really make you want a second one. It's worth a try as a single. The highlight here is the appearance as the beer is able to maintain a very lovely head and develop some very nice lacing. The aroma is pretty good to and the mango character was nice. I could probably drink it again but I'd get a single beer and move on to something else. It would pair well with a cooked fish or a Cobb salad.

L: Had this beer on-tap at Growlers to Go - Short Pump, poured into a pint glass. Had a pale yellow color and an extremely cloudy consistency. There was a quarter inch of foamy, somewhat long-lasting head. Excellent lacing.
S: A very nice aroma of hops, citrus fruit, pine, malt, and tropical fruit.
T: Tasted of a small amount of malt (mostly in the finish), some tropical fruit (passion fruit, in particular), a good amount of hops (just enough to make it interesting), light pine notes, and a good amount of citrus fruit (orange, especially). A light, sweet, and lively flavor. It's almost like an NE IPA, but this doesn't matter. Pretty tasty.
F: An average amount of carbonation with a smooth and creamy finish. Medium-bodied.
O: A well made, easy to like beer. Drinkable.
