Pale, creamy orange with a sudsy head that leaves nice lacing. It seemed pretty opaque when I first poured it but after sitting for a couple minutes it is a little more translucent.
Sour citrus and grass on the nose. There are some floral scents in there too. Almost soapy...
Floral notes are big in the taste as well. But there's also a nice balance of tart fruit and a little hit of bitterness. It makes for a nice complex, lingering finish. No hint of the booze. The more I sip it, the more I start to pick up on the fruit notes. Mango comes through really strong with some melon too.
Mouthfeel is nice and light with a really good zing from the carbonation.
The more floral IPAs can be hit or miss for me but I think this one works pretty well. It's not off-putting and is overall really well balanced. There is a great mango undertone that works really well with the more floral notes. Complex and balanced.

Can from Pioneer Supermarket on the UWS. Pours a nice medium hazy orange with nice head retention and excellent lacing, smell is sticky almost dank, pine sap flecked orange blossom, honey, slight biscuitiness, taste follows with mild floral citrus, and nice pine bitterness, this beer is creamy and nicely carbonated, with a dry finish. A nice NE offering from 5Boro.

A: The beer is very hazy yellow in color—too hazy to see if there is any visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high dense white head that consistently left a thin layer of bubbles covering both the surface and sides of the glass after it died down.
S: Moderate aromas of lime, mango, and stone fruit are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell, except that the flavors of lime and stone fruit are more prominent than those of the mango. Little if any bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer has the intensity of aroma and flavor that you would expect from an Imperial IPA but has the drinkability of an IPA given its wheat malt base, which helps to lighten up the body to some degree.
