Canned 2/20/19. Pours a hazy gold/blonde hue with a thin head into my glass. Floral, crisp, citrus hop presence in the nose. Mango and passionfruit explode on my tastebuds. Very easy to drink. Enjoyable, just remember to sip, not quaff.

Can to tulip.
The pour leaned into a nice cloudy/hazy burnt orange color with some light hues of yellow along the edges. Nice looking sticky lace coating my glass. There was a slim cap of a little white foamy head.
The aroma had tangerines/orange sweetness with some grapefruit pulp and lemon drop sweetness.
The flavor was moderately sweet with a sly bitter piney underneath. Some juicy tropical fruitiness. Aftertaste was lingering through some lemon to grapefruit and orange pulp.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping to sessionable quality about it. Nice low carbonation and a sturdy ABV. Modest finish of semi-sticky tropical fruitiness.
Overall, pretty nice New England styled DIPA I'd have again. Good job Josh at Farnham for collaborating with Cousins Brewing on this.

Can. Hazy but not murky and gross. Grapefruit floral lemon drop aroma. Medium light fruity tangy sweetness with grapefruit fruity bitterness. Medium light body -- dangerously quaffable. Lingering lemon drop. Excellent.

16 oz. can.
A Cousins/Farnham Collab.
Moderate pour yields a 3/4 inch white head over a slightly hazy light golden body with some lacing. Head dissipates after a few minutes and comes back slightly with a few swirls. Nose of tropical fruit, orange, candied citrus, and slight pine. Taste of said fruit with a finish of pine resin. Good feel and overall, this is just a tad uneven and not as smooth as I like. The nose and taste were not quite in unison, but still a pretty good offering which actually got better as it warmed up a bit and that pine resin went away. Cheers to Cousins and Farnham for this decent collaboration.
