It appears to be a pint can. I served it into a snifter. Tropical fruit aroma with some melon. Tropical fruit flavors with some melon. Thinner bodied with chalky mouthfeel. A bit watered down for my taste.

 

 

 

Only slightly hazy, despite the description. Hoppy, as the name implies, with more papaya than I might usually like. Low bitterness on the finish, with a sticky resiny note that stands out as a defining characteristic.

 

First gulps were great. Wish it came in 12 Oz cans. Don't have that pint glass around all the time.

Brewers Notes: New England IPA Double dry hopped with Citra, El Dorado, Sabro, Callista, and Befuddlement hops.

16 oz chilled can received from @whyteboar associated with a ninja strike in bif16, new brewery for me

Deep apricot orange haze bomb , two finger yellowish lathered foam cap, very good retention, recedes after five minutes to a mountain with thick solid lacings

Taste is is citrus grapefruit , pine , juicy tropical scone ou5 as the glass warms

Sudsy mouthfeel, nice hop bite,

Good beer, thanks @ whyteboar

The pour is very hazy and murky looking straw color. The head comes to 2 fingers, is white, fluffy looking, and has decent retention. There's a bit of lacing on the glass as the head dissipates.
Light notes of tropical hops on the nose. Some mango, grapefruit and guava.
The flavor is the hops, as expected, and tropical. Lots of pineapple, and grapefruit, some mango and guava. Hint of pine in the flavor, and I get some melon on the backside. There's also a decent bitterness in this beer. Flavor is a lot stronger than the nose suggested.
The body isn't really soft, It has a full body, and the bitter feeling does linger. It is somewhat sticky feeling.
Tasty and delicious beer that I am glad to try.

 

Wonderfully hop-forward aroma, with notes of lemon, grapefruit, melon, pineapple, papaya, cream, and mint.

Flavor follows: this is an absolute juice bomb, despite the sub-6% ABV. Punches well above its weight class; minus any alcohol sting, you would be forgiven for thinking this clocks in above 8%.

A - Pours a hazy orange with a sturdy white one finger head. Heavy amount of soapy lacing.

S - Aroma is orange, mango, peach and resinous hops.

T - The taste is orange, mango, grapefruit, coconut and dank hops.

M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Soft mouthfeel with a big crisp finish.

O - Really solid NEIPA.

 

 

Fairly good NE style IPA obtained fresh straight from City Built Brewing. No date printed on can. Pours a hazy yellow color with some fluffy white head and beautiful small rings of soapy lingering lacing that persisted throughout. Big aromas of fresh ripe grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, mango and lemon. Also malt, vanilla and bread. Taste follows the nose, great balance and fairly juicy, easy to drink. Smooth mild mouthfeel, a little sticky, good carbonation. A solid NE style IPA from these guys!

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours very hazy deep golden/amber/light orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, coconut, lemon, lime, vanilla, cream, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, red apple, raspberry, blackberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, white bread dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. A bit muted aromas. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, coconut, lemon, lime, vanilla, cream, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, red apple, raspberry, blackberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, white bread dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, coconut, lemon, lime, vanilla, cream, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, red apple, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance; and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and light sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Light lingering resins/rinds through the glass. Minimal warming alcohol for 5.9%, or lingering hop burn after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic NEIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/resinous/drying finish; fantastic soft/silky feel. Amazing Citra, El Dorado, Sabro, Callista, and Befuddlement hop profile. Extremely juicy hops with light dank/earthy notes; with a nice sized wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example as expected of the brewery.
