Overall, a great NE IPA, drinkable but punchy.

Appearance: Pours a nearly completely hazy (10-15% clarity) medium and pale golden color with a strong white head. SRM of 7. (4.25)

Aroma: Strong aromas of papaya, tangerine, and some hints of mango and melon. Some resinous herbal notes within. (4.00)

Flavor: Strong and ripe flavors of papaya, pineapple, and melon. Some faint resinous and dank herbal tones. Hints of resin, but ultimately finishes ripe, juicy, and tropical. Lots of papaya here. (4.25)

Compared to Hop Butcher Scrap Metal 1/2023: Pours lighter, stronger head. More ripe papaya, mango, melon. Less lime citrus and herbal cannabis notes.

Compared to BlackStack TDH Pocket Dial 3/2023: Pours darker, stronger head. Milder aromas. More papaya, orange citrus, sweet pineapple. Less green lime, melon, and mango.

Overall: Some fantastic flavors here. At first the flavors seem muddled, but I think this one actually subtly shows the flavors quite well. Some nice papaya notes here which is unique and not easy to pull off. Otherwise drinks tropical and leans sweet with a smooth and soft body. This one comes alive in the flavor. Subtle but completely fantastic here. (Rating: 4.17+)

 

 

 

 

The look was a hazy orange with a nice fluffy head. The smell had lots of grapefruit, pineapple, peach and some berries. The taste is tropical and a little earthy and spicy. Some bitterness at the end. Overall I liked this beer and it is very well made BUT...the price point is pretty prohibitive. I will not be seeking it out again.

Beautifully hazy golden pour with a ring of white bubbles. Smell has plenty of grapefruit, melon, pineapple and some hops. The taste brought the hops up front more, giving the drinker both bitterness and sweet juicy fruits. Add papaya, lime and herbal notes to the fruits detected in the smell. All there but all pretty light in taste though, want more weight in flavor. Feel is soft, creamy and fluffy, like biting into a soft fruit.
