Crowler. Thick white head with lace. Very hazy muskmelon orange color.

Very soft and easy drinking. Lots of melon and honeydew. Strawberry. Mango and papaya. Very tropical. Massive flavor for 6.3%. This needs to see more time in the BT rotation.

A big thanks to Jeff for this one. 750ml swingtop growler into a Surly teku.

Looks even worse than the traditional NE IPA. Not only cloudy, but muddy color too. Nose is pine, resin, tree sap, bark and overripe pineapple. Certainly interesting and plenty pungent. Taste is easily one of the most unique takes on IPA that I've had to date. Beer opens with notes of pine, bark and tree sap and brown sugar. There's some tropical fruit sugariness in here but its not any real identifiable combination of fruit, just the malt that the fruit provides. Juicy and sappy at the same time. Middle is accented hints of maple and more sap mixed with possible papaya and pineapple. Its weird but it works. Body is light with moderate to ample carbonation. Finishes quenching with a dry aftertaste.

I'd highly recommend this for east coasters that have developed a love of the NE IPA style and think they know what it's all about. This one will make you think twice.

This beer pours a very beautiful, very hazy, very murky golden color. Very dank looking. The head was 2 finger, white, and very frothy. Beautiful lacing on the glass as the head recedes.
The nose is very juicy. I get a sweet grapefruit aroma from this beer. It's quite pleasing to the nose.
The taste is OMG! Juice bomb! This is a NE IPA! Juicy, It's like drinking a citrus juice.
Thick, is the best word for it. It's feels like it's coating my throat all the way down to my stomach.
DAMN! This is the second beer that I've had, that have stated that they are a NE IPA, that hits the what is describes as this style. BT and Disguntled here in Minnesota have hit the bullseye with this style.

Hazy yellow with minimal lacing, with moderate citrus aroma. Flavor is extremely citrus forward with minimal bitterness and really nice mouthfeel
