Pilsner Malt, Flaked Wheat, and Flaked Oats. Hopped with Centennial, Azacca, and Idaho 7, then copiously dry hopped with Azacca, Idaho 7, and Cashmere. Bursting with citrus and tropical fruit flavors can make any island feel tropical.

Pours a hazy straw yellow with a finger of soft white head. Aroma leans tropical: pineapple, mango, and a hint of citrus zest. Taste follows nose. Juicy fruit up front, balanced by light bitterness and a crisp finish.

Solid. Island Vibes has a similar profile as Any good Sierra Nevada IPA. But perhaps a wee bit more of a kick.

Solid balance all around. With IPAs done to death these days, this is always a safe bet.

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy pale whitish yellow in color. It poured with a short white head that quickly settled down, leaving a thin collar around the edge and some specks of lacing clinging to the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of grapefruit, lime and melon are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional notes of tropical fruit from the hops. Little to no bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a bit juicy on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I found this IPA to be quite complex in the varieties of aromas and flavors.
Serving type: can

Served in a Teku glass from the can.
Appearance: hazy body coming off an off colored gold color. Like a yellow with heavy bubbles creating a white head.
Smell: Light mellow lemon skin.
Taste: Sweet Grapefruit, mellow mango...hits the palates like an ultimate thirst quencher.
Mouth: Medium carbonation, sticky body. Semi dry.
Overall: good brew. Wasn't expecting much but I got a lot. Worth grabbing if you crave NEIPAs. Salud!

This beer just checks all the boxes. I don't think ive ever had a Kills Boro beer and I live on Staten Island. Shared a can with my brother and i was shocked how much i liked it. Full of flavor with a smooth finish.

This one pours a hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like pineapple, citrus, mango, and grassy hops.
This is pretty similar to other NE-style IPAs, but I definitely can appreciate it. There's loads of pineapple and peach, with a very creamy taste, and a very slight bitterness on the back end.
This is light bodied, and very creamy, with a great drinkability, and a smooth finish.
I definitely need to buy me some more Kills Boro stuff - I've liked it a lot so far.
