Amazing DIPA. NewPark makes great beers and this is one of the better DIPAs available. As good as Spectrum is, this is slightly better. I’d consider this one a must-get once they have it available. You cannot go wrong with it and it is right up there with the best of TreeHouse and Trillium.

Look...tremendous look of a double IPA a yellow opaque with a white a pillowy white head. No pieces of suspended yeast involved.
Smell...peaches and mango, with nectarine with a strong hint of dank hops.
Taste...sweet juice peach and nectarine. A mango tanginess that seems sweet but never too sweet. A NEIPA juice, with a bittering overtone and drying on the completion of the swallow enticing further sips. Very easy to drink at 9 percent. I detect no alcohol.
Feel...A strategic fullness designated to this exceptional lightness and swallow ability. A well carbonated bev. with plenty of sticky lacing
Overall... I am not sure if I like the original Spectrum more but this beer is no slouch and will definitely require continued evaluation as needed. Another excellent beer from the Boys down the street to me .. Awesome stuff

Drank from a 1 pint can purchased at New Park Brewing, West Hartford, CT

Served in a tulip

Very impressive appearance. The cloudy, pale straw yellow body was topped by a fluffy, inch-tall, off-white crown that slowly dropped to a lasting cap of froth. Copious amounts of drippy lacing cascaded along the sides of the glass and stuck around for a while.

The aroma was uber dank and juicy. Fresh cannabis came through big time. Loads of overripe mango too. Good dose of honey as well. Fairly sweet overall but appropriately so for the style. Nectarine and peach notes were also apparent, along with some punchy honeydew melon. Durian also came to mind.

The flavor profile was just as amazing as the nose. Honeydew melon was most apparent here. Perhaps some durian too. Loads of peach and nectarine as well. Cannabis notes were also quite prominent. There was a nice honey-like sweetness in the center. Tangerine notes appeared on the back end and carried into the finish. Hint of lingering pith and bitterness.

The mouthfeel was also outstanding. Medium bodied for the style. Super fluffy and supple on the palate. Ultra smooth. The liquid contained a fine, greater-than-average effervescence that worked perfectly.

Full Spectrum is one of the most impressive double IPAs I have tried in a very long time. New Park Brewing are regarded as being one of the best breweries in Connecticut, but I am not sure that people outside the state are aware of how good their hoppy beers truly are.
