Pours a dull colored orange with a completely opaque translucency. Head is two fingers of white foam. Aroma is pineapple, mango, melon, melon dew, and papaya. It's heavy on tropical fruits, but despite that, isn't super sugary. Flavor profile pairs pineapple with mango and melon in a tropical fruit soiree. Tropical fruit notes are more rindy and heavy, stamping out any lingering sweetness. Very mild green hop stickiness at the back, but it's minor. Mouth feel is medium-thick, which helps push the heavy tropical fruits more towards a decadent experience. Overall, a thick, pineapple-focused IPA. Rather unique tropical fruits in a world of nearly identical tropical fruit-focused NE IPAs.

Served in a 2023 AM membership glass from a 16oz can.
