16 oz. Can
Canned On: 10.17.24
ABV: 6.5%

Poured into a Trillium glass a pretty nice cloudy pale yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit, mango, guava, peach, nectarine), pretty nice diesel like. The taste is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit, mango, guava, peach, nectarine), pretty nice diesel like. Medium Body, ABV is hidden very nicely, with a nice dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a pretty tasty beer. Orange Julius! MilkShake! Addictive!

A enormous head. Finely laced and slow to dissipate. The dominant note is lavender. It’s a bit like eating a bar of soap and not in a bad way. Hops are not out of control.

Fine, pale yellow body; semi-hazy in appearance; huge white head; dense and creamy; sculpted and sticky. Light citrus nose; a bit of lemon; biscuit and oats. Prominent hop bitterness; very mild base malt flavor; light lemon and grapefruit taste. Medium-heavy body; light dry tartness intermingling with a moderate citrus bite and juiciness.

This can has probably been sitting around in my beer 'fridge for a while, so it has some age to it. I got more lemon than grapefruit, and wouldn't call it 'dank' per the beer's description. Still, a decent little afternoon pick-me-up.

Poured at 38.3 °F; no canning data noted; ABV is listed as 6.5%; no indication about being DDH.

Yellow haze, frothy head with good lacing. Aroma is citrus. Medium to light mouthfeel, citrus flavors with moderate bitterness. Very good hazy IPA.

Released 4/14/20; drank 5/3/20 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque yellow/orange appearance.

A violent pour yielded a big off-white head; strong, frothy lace.

Wheat, lemon, orange citrus & faint table sugar notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel. Lemon, wheat, orange peel & faint table sugar flavors.

A nice take on the NE IPA style.

Pours a light copper with very little head like most their ipas. Mellow hop aroma. Extremely well balanced taste and feel with a distinct floralness. Another amazing ipa from these guys. They are crushing it.
