I don't see a date listed on the can.
Appearance: The body of the beer is a very hazy light yellow. It is nearly opaque but shadows are easily visible through it. The head is large, white, fluffy and creamy textured, and has good retention.
Aroma: A very obvious mango aroma comes out at first. There are some hop bine oil aromas hanging out under the nose.
Taste: It has a light and pleasant flavor of peach and mango. Up front there isn't a lot of flavor; it really hits towards the middle and end of the palate. It finishes with some grapefruit peel character. There is a very light bit of grain flavor that comes through from time to time but the palate needs to be cleansed to taste it.
Mouthfeel: It is very smooth and light; an easy drinking beer. Carbonation is good and the bitterness is mild but present. Bitterness is about what you would get from pulpy orange juice.
Overall: It is a solid beer from Benchtop. The flavors and aromas are pleasant and and fruity which make this an enjoyable beer to drink. It will please anyone looking for an outstanding New England IPA. I would drink it again in a heartbeat.
