Poured into a 16 oz Nordic pint glass canned on 9/16/19. Pours a cloudy dark yellow, with a finger plus sticky white head that leaves thick rings of lace as it slowly settles. 4
Smell is apricot, tangerine, clove, biscuit, and a little grapefruit rind. 3.5
Taste follows lots of clove and biscuit throughout with a little tangerine, apricot, and grapefruit. 3.5
Mouthfeel is a big medium, soft gentle carbonation, a tad sticky not dry, in goes down rather easy but the 7.2% ABV is actually detected. 3.75
Overall this is not what I was expecting, seems like they used Belgian yeast and it makes it more like a Belgian IPA than a NEIPA. Far from bad, but not what I was hoping for. 3.5

Definitely a good New England IPA will all the citrus notes that one would expect. My only reason for not giving this a higher rating was the color was a little off putting to me. It was a murky brown/yellow color.

Stopped in today (29DEC18) for a quickie... only got a beer... 13oz snifter serving of this for $6.00.
Was a cloudy, bright medium-golden color. Had a thin, white head with medium lacing. Nose had lots of citrus; rindy, pithy action with light sweetness. Body was medium, and it was light on the roughness.
Flavor was cut from the same cloth as the aroma - fruity! Lots of fruity notes, with apricot and tangerine laying nicely on the palate. It was also rindy and resiny, though there was a good balance between sweetness and bitterness. Solid!
Prosit!!

Hazy, juicy, not too bitter and absolutely delicious! It quickly climbed to the top of my favorite NH beers.

Samples from opening day at the source.
Deeply hazy grapefruit yellow in color with a minimal head. Soft bitterness of citrus and pine with faint bready malt underneath not sure juicy but this is quite tasty!
