Meet Pulpy, he's a friend of ours and he loves juicy IPAs. This one happens to be his favorite. Triple Dry Hopped with a combination of Mosaic, Citra and El Dorado hops. And no there is no pulp in this beer. Drink fresh and enjoy cold.

Hazy OJ. Citrusy and juicy. Decent balance but not real “hoppy.” Seems kind of flat.

Very chalky mouthfeel. No hoppy bite whatsoever so ever. Maybe even lack of carbonation. The mouthfeel makes it difficult to rate the taste any more than average.

Look...the yellow copper wheat with a less than generous carbonation
Smell...Nothing much and with some grassy hop
Taste...melon and Oj juice with a juicy pithy bitter that is momentary before the sweet finish
Feel...Lightly slick with little carb and an easy finish
Overall...this beer is pretty solid but a lot of options in the Ct that are easily as good and fresher. The beast of the shelf turd at my Total Wine sittin on the warm shelf. A shelf where beer goes to die. RIP if they don't move around these parts

Picked up a four pack of cans at Bradfords Liquors in Plymouth, Massachusetts for about eighteen dollars. My ninth brew from these guys. Canned on date of 4/18/25. Very pungent, not a big fan.

The look and smell are amazing. Tropical, fruity, suggestive of an intense flavor. However the taste is rather muted. I mean it's a hazy so I shouldn't expect much in the way of bitterness or intensity. The mouthfeel is rather thin too, especially for a beer called Pulpy.

IPA - New England / Hazy
Love Pulpy carton guy! He's baked. He's rather light, definitely juicy. Triple Dry-hopped is a bit surprising as it's all juice and no dry bite whatsoever. Citric juice, pencil shavings. And melon rind type hop flavor's. Very mild and light overall. Just a bit thin, especially for 3x dry-hopped.
