A: 75% golden dole pineapple and 25% canary pastel. Just a slim slightly off-white head that clings to the outer rim.
S: Citron, aromatic Buddha's hand, yellow skinned tropical fruit--tons of pineapple pulp. The sweetness of the pineapple is just a bit domineering at times.
M: Soft and pillowy like floating on feathers.
T: One of the better tropical melanges featuring sweet/dank papaya, pops of lime peel, bursts of bitterness from passionfruit.

Tried this at Eli Cannon's in Middletown, CT. Came in a tulip glass with about an inch and a quarter of head, and it leaves behind thick lacing. The aroma is bright and hoppy with citrus notes. The flavor was a little disappointing as it felt watered down and overly dank. Alright IPA.

On tap.
Look is an opaque bright orange, with a thick white head.
Smell and taste are big and hoppy, lots of orange juice and tropical pineapple.
Feels soft and pillowy juicy, low bitterness with a creamy light sweetness.
Overall a fantastic NEIPA. Yeah!

Had on tap at Prime 16 last week. This beer does not disappoint and it is Counterweight's biggest, juiciest, and haziest DIPA to date. Super dense hazy yellow body with a small head. Just a bunch of ripe fruit upfront, signature dank and fresh hop pellets, pineapple, some malt sweetness, decent amount of bitterness. Galaxy on display here. Grab some of this ASAP.

On-tap at Willimantic Brewing Co.
Soft balance of a grassy, tropical haze followed by a smooth, juicy finish makes this a great, easy-drinking double IPA. The balance is tempered enough to make this one easy to go back to again and again without being a drain on the palate. Overall, a really well-put together beer. Has the profile of a genuinely sessionable brew, if only until its DIPA ABV sneaks up on you.
