This New England IPA oozes stonefruit, passionfruit, and grapefruit thanks to Galaxy, Citra, and El Dorado hops. The body is made up of wheat, oats, lactose, creating a fruit bomb with a super smooth finish.

Pint can in a stemmed tulip IPA glass.

Grapefruit and OJ mix color, hazy. Fluffy white cap that lasts and lasts leaving lots of sticky web lacing.

Clean aromas; wheat and citrus, fresh floral bouquet.

Grapefruit color transfers to flavor. Peach, apricot, and plum. The wheat hangs on.

Easy medium body, smooth drinking. Its 7.5% abv hides behind the light wheat. Mild hop bite with a clean finish. Lactose helps with smoothness.

A good lactose brew. The abv is tempered and it drinks easy.

Bright orange with white head that leaves a little bit of lacing. Nice fruity smell with papaya mango passion fruit and grapefruit. Sweet and filled with flavors that are in the nose. Nice sweetness and good bitterness.

Hazy orange with some chunks at the bottom of my glass. Big foamy inviting head on top. Aroma is lightly sweet with bright fruity hops, citrus, floral, and passionfruit... Taste follows with mandarin orange-like citrus with rind, tropical fruity hops, brisk and tingly around the edges. Soft, fullish body feel and easy to drink.

Cloudy orange color capped with a fat layer of dense foam. Hoppy aroma with Galaxy leading the way...passion fruit and grapefruit zest. Creamy tropical fruit hop flavors: mango and pineapple with a juicy grapefruit and orange citrusy quality. Medium bodied, somewhat frothy and dry. Good.
