On tap at tasting room:
Fairly typical looking hazy, cloudy to opaqueness, amber yellow with a streaky lacing producing soapy head. Nose is citrus-forward dank with a bit of residual malt sweetness. Opening taste is a grainy, medium heavy slightly sweet citrus. The rubber band effect I get with a decent number of NEIPAs hits lightly before the pine, tropical fruit skin and grapefruit pith bitterness takes over.
As it warms, there’s a little bubble gum to cotton candy note in the nose, sort of like some milkshake IPAs, which this is not in any other way. Citrus also starts to open up, especially after a swirl. Taste also starts to lean a little more citrusy as the break between opening flavors and finishing fishies meld. Ends up being an orange/tangerine citrus beer with a pretty solid pith and husk finish for me.

California, take me away! I have immediate flashbacks to the California coastline and roadside citrus stands just by smelling this amazing brew. Fresh squeezed OJ and lemon peel on the nose and burst of tropical flavors in the mouth. Ends on a nice slightly salted note. Enjoyed at the brewery in Rivesville, WV.

The best New England IPA I've ever tasted. Maybe the best beer in the world. Hazy, hoppy, cloudy, citrusy, bliss. New England IPA on steroids. Unbelievable.
