Here in New England we’ve dealt with the drizzles - we’ve submitted to the storms. We’ve even created a style of beer to help us through it. This NEIPA strikes a balance between wheat and oats, giving it a full body without being overly sweet. Sip slowly and savor each passing note of passion fruit, citrus, and pine. After all, we’re all just waiting for the next storm to pass, aren’t we?

Pint can purchased on site. 6/29. Canned on 6/26\18 $18. 6.4 % abv.
Pure white gold color, bright and totally opaque. "Hazy" style appearance. Chunky forms of all-white foam, bubbly, thick with lots of nice lacing left in the wake. Constant coverage of crystal white foamy layer and big, fat expressive lacing.
The aroma is seriously amazing, bold...fresh scented hops, sweet mamgo with bright tropicals, honey, thick oats, grainy wheat and crispy blonde malty aromatics push it over the top. The density, and complexity coming from the hop aroma is high grade stuff. Thickly sweet mango and vanilla style smooth aroma keeps you sniffing. Aromatically intense.
The mouthfeel and texture that happens from really good NE ipa's is a thing of pure beauty. Crispy, but thick, silky smooth and juicy with subtle dry notes encompass all that is good when you sip or gulp!! Savor the silky, fresh feeling. Lol.
A grainy, wheat and oats flavor pops right out from the light but full feeling malty complexity. Dry wheat, light honey and vanilla over oats sums up the malt taste pretty well. The hops go on forever! Dry earthiness, spicy citrus, peppery mango, pineapple sweetness with grapefruit style bitter tones right at the end. Complexity level of hops and malty flavor's is exactly where you want this style to be. And then some!
Branch & Blade has become my hometowns, representitive of the excellent New England style influence. Taking the style to new and exciting places.
