Holy dankness Batman, that's some dankity hops in there. Nose got white wine, overripe pineapple, and a touch of gasoline. Taste is cannabis, floral, tropical. Pretty darn good and not exactly the same taste as every other hazy. Nice.

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace. It smelled of orange, pineapple, caramel and pine. Great tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a piney, sharp bitterness.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy goldenstraw with a three finger head; excellent retention and webby lacing
Smell: The vinous character of Southern Hemisphere hops is readily apparent here, with the white wine grape and pineapple mingling with dank pine and grapefruit pith tones
Taste: Sugary pineapple and white wine grape forward with the dank hops building; pine and grapefruit pith emerge to bring a distinct bitterness; the finish brings a blend of the tropics, the Southern Hemisphere and the dank bitterness
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate to high carbonation
Overall: This is an excellent NE IPA that lets you know that it is an IPA and not a juice bomb; it has the juicy elements but marries that with the bitterness
Thanks, xKURTx, for the opportunity

Poured into a Nonic pint.
Pours hazy and almost pulpy. Light gold, not orange juice time. An excellent foamy head.
Aromas of grapefruit, grass, pear, peach, berry. A bit of vinous quality.
Grapefruit and mango on the front of the palate, with twinges of white pepper. Pale malt, pear, peach, tart berry, white wine, and white pepper in midstream. The finish is grassy and spicy.
Medium bodied, creamy, and drying. Rather drinkable for the style.
A pleasantly spicy and very well-balanced NEIPA. Not overly sweet or juicy. The white pepper notes are really nice.
