Notes via stream of consciousness: We're off to a good start with a very hazy golden body that has a bit of an orange sheen to it beneath a thumb's width of bright white foam. The aroma displays a sweetish and oat-y malt base along with piney, citrusy, and otherwise fruity hops. It's not the brightest of aromas but it's good. On to the taste... everything found in the aroma carries over. I have no doubt that the grain bill is made up barley, wheat, and oats. The hop flavors are more diverse with pine, some herbs, orange, melon, berries, guava, passionfruit, apricot, nectarine, mango, ripe lychee, pineapple, pear, and white grape. The bitterness is listed on the label at ... haha, I just looked at the label and it says right on it "Flaked oats and wheat...". Where was I? The bitterness is listed at 30 IBUs and I totally believe that. There's enough there to keep it mainly dry in the finish while allowing the sweetness of the malt to act as a springboard for the hops to shine. It's medium bodied and crisp with a little bit of extra mouthfeel due to all of the proteins from the wheat and oats. I'm a little on the fence about the scoring for the aroma. Is it a 3.75 or a 4? What I am sure about is a 3.75 for the appearance as the head dropped rather quickly and then left little in terms of lacing. Still, this is a good example of the sweet and juicy NEIPA style.

was rather surprised by the overall outcome of this beer, seeing that IPA power house Kros Strain is next door. Really good NE IPA that i could drink all weekend. Great appearance, and good flavor. Could use better head retention for the style but the carbonation is still perfect for the mouth feel.

16 oz can, no date of course, into White Elm Willie Beecher glass.
Has a super milky creamy pour creating a similar-though-maybe-less-so body in the glass with a tall creamy head of 3 fingers, receding to 1 and leaving lots of lace up the sides.
Aroma is stone fruit-forward, with apricots, papaya, mango, and peach. Dank citrus tails behind it. Even more dank in general tails behind that. Wow.
The flavor is a bit of a let-down, it's full of mineral, so much that you taste the sulphur; and then some polite mango/mango sorbet, grapefruit rind, some lemon, and finally some orange zest.
Feel is acidic and creamy, intense in its carbonation which takes away from its soft-ish profile; and has minor burning alcohol and a juicy resiny finish.
Overall this one actually isn't too bad, but they gotta tweak that water profile. I was seriously thinking this was gonna be a new IPA killer for me. At the $12 price point, it doesn't do too bad for itself though.
Price paid : $2.99 / can
Would buy again : no
