Counterpunch is an IPA focused on Amarillo and Galaxy hops. Very fruity nose, reminiscent of tropical fruits, as well as some grassy notes. A balanced malt backbone lets the hops really present nicely.

On-tap at Willimantic Brewing Co.
Pours a hazy gold with a slight 3/4 of a finger of white head.
Aromas of soft orange, heavily dank grass, light pineapple, and a citrusy sweetness established throughout.
Tastes a bit more dank upfront, with nice grassy notes, pineapple rind, orange juice, tangerine, and juicy tropical notes all-around.
Mouthfeel is smooth and clean throughout; low-moderate carb meshes really well in building towards a juicy, refreshing finish.
Solid tropical hazy stuff here; this one does everything well, which is nothing new from Counterweight.

Super hazy brew, very orange with some yellow coloration. Getting a lot of the Amarillo and Galaxy hops on the tongue, I think the citra just sort of blends in here with both, but you get the herbal qualities of Amarillo with that tropical fruit from citra/galaxy. Pretty well balanced beer with a touch of cracker like malt backbone. Very easy to drink this one fast.
