L: Opaque orange-pink with not much of a head
S: Piney hops, tropical fruit, and a touch of strawberry. Very pleasant.
T: Well-done! The strawberry is there, but not overpowering. Piney hops shine on the finish.
F: Feels light for 9.2%, but I dig it.
O: Not disappointed at all! A unique, but not too unique beer.

Faded peachy pink body with a pearl white foam. Strawberry lead the nose but in a fresh cut way, not dominating either, plenty of aromas of pineapple, melon, pineapple and mango with lighter piney hops. Taste has the hops step up in the finish with cutting and satisfying bitters, strawberry is stronger than the nose but still not obnoxious, tropical fruits and light orange there too. Feel is lighter for an imperial, but also hides the abv amazingly well, hops create airy and full textures on the palate. Refreshing yet potent, would prefer to have next time in spring

A: The beer is very hazy reddish yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a patch of bubbles on the surface, a narrow collar around the edge, and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of honeydew melon and strawberry are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional notes of lychee and hints of lime. Only a light amount of bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and slightly juicy on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I thought that this IPA did a good job at incorporating the strawberries into the smell and taste. It also drank a lot easier compared to what I would have expected for a beer that is 9.2% abv.

This is an amazing looking beer. Thick pouring, like motor oil. It's hazy, murky, dank. Orange colored, 1 finger white head. Retention is good. There's some nice lacing on the glass.
The nose is slightly hoppy. Slight citrus. Some strawberry.
Taste - The hops and strawberry mix together very well. It's a very complimentary mix. There's a slight sour component to it.
The body is thick. The hops do linger. Slightly creamy feeling. Not boozy feeling at all.
This is a very interesting beer. The addition of strawberries really add a tasty layer to this beer. Just awesome!

Appearance - Pours thick turbid bright yellow with big fluffy white head that settles to a rocky cap. Lots of spotty lacing.

Aroma - Pineapple, orange, grapefruit, very light berry aroma.

Taste - Lots of tropical fruit mango and pineapple, seem to pick up some strawberry abut midpoint and toward the end. Grapefruit, citrus peel. nice balanced sweet and bitter taste.

Feel - Creamy smooth soft carbonation, nice dry finish.

Overall - Another well done IPA, the alcohol is impressively well hidden feel is spot on.

I love this beer! One of the most flavorful NE style I have had to date.

Poured from a can purchased at the brewery this past weekend. Tasted and smelled fresh and fruity. Wonderfully citrusy and sweet. An odd murky pinkish orange color with a nice head and good lacing. Would definitely get again!
