Consider yourself lucky that you are holding one of our New England IPAs, because it's the only style that we can brew. We reached out to our brewing friends on the Brewers' Net, which is like the Darknet, but for brewers, to scare up some of the choicest hops money can buy: Australian Galaxy and Australian Vic Secret. Hugely tropical with notes of passionfruit, guava, and mango, these high oil content hops are truly a treat

16 oz. can. Hazy bright orange. Smells of passion fruit, white grape, and some melon. Tastes of tropical fruit with an acidic and harsh back end. It has a touch of garlic and earthiness that distracts a bit from the acidity, but it's still strong. Moderately high sweetness. Medium body. Another acidic hazy IPA.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated 6/05/2020 into a Willi Becher pint glass.
L - Poured a hazy light orange color with a white head that dissipates quickly, leaving some nice lacing on the glass.
S - Smell of tropical fruits. Like a tropical fruit salad.
T - Starts out with some bitterness, followed by the tropical fruits, with almost a dry finish. Definitely getting pineapple, with some mango.
F - Medium body and carbonation.
O - Very enjoyably IPA.

Started off looking and smelling good but went slowly downhill from there. 6/5/20 date printed on can. Pours a great looking hazy pale yellow color with some fluffy white head and small rings of soapy lingering lacing. Seemed almost like a NE style IPA. Big aromas of fresh ripe pineapple, grapefruit, mango and orange. Also some vanilla, bread and malt. Tastes similarly, except the balance was off - at times too bitter and astringent, other times the hops were faded and the breadier malt came through. Odd. Smooth, mild, slightly sticky mouthfeel with decent carbonation. A little disappointing considering I had high hopes for this brewery after I tried their Flat Earth NE IPA.

Appearance: Pours cloudy and honey colored with a bit of a bubble show; good retention and a nice curtain of lace
Smell: Passionfruit, pineapple and mango
Taste: Passionfruit forward, with the pineapple and mango tones adding a touch of sweetness; dank, with pithy bitterness, in the middle, with the passionfruit lingering in the finish
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: One of the better NEIPAs I have tasted recently; has a nice, moderately bitter finish
Thanks, N-Gogol, for the opportunity

I'm having this latest #hazebro IPA on draft at Fat Head's--how cool is that?
Appearance is opaque corn yellow with a bubbly uniform thick white comforter on top.
Smell is dank onion, garlic, burnt rubber, lemon and orange. As it comes to temp, mint, Smarties and a little veg arise.
Taste is spicy dank weed and burnt rubber with cracked wheat, toasty cracker, and an orange-lemon-mango blend.
Full of body, velvety carbonation, but very dry on the swallow.
