Have had this a couple of times, and considering three people who have reviewed it below got it from me, I should probably review it at some point. Hazy dark orange color. Smell is mildly citrusy and grassy. Taste is well balanced-juicy, bitter, and malty. Light to medium bodied, definite booziness.

Another beer gifted from @mschrei thanks Matt. Poured into a 13 oz Teku glass canned on 5/1/2020. Pours a very hazy orange yellow with a near two finger sticky white head that leaves thick lines of lace as it slowly settles. 4.75

Smell is pineapple, tangerine, papaya, ripe cantaloupe, mango, and apricot really nice. 4.25

Taste follows pineapple, tangerine, papaya, mango, cantaloupe, and apricot really balanced and darn juicy. 4.5

Mouthfeel above average, a tad sticky not dry, soft gentle carbonation, and at 6.6% ABV it drinks closer in flavor to 7 plus but easy going down. 4.5

Overall this is a very impressive NEIPA that really nails the style. I am really digging this one. 4.5

 

 

Just discovered this Chicago area beer today. A hazy IPA with tons of tropical fruit. I picked up pineapple and some mango. Not bitter, but there was kind of a spicy hops finish. New IPA for my top 10 list. I will buy more next weekend.

 

Undated can. Looks pretty good, opaque pale orange, ample foam and chunky sticky lacing. Broken surface skim after the first sips.

Smells like canned pineapple, kind of sickly sweet and malty.
Tastes a bit better, hints of pineapple and guava, pale and caramel malt that’s a touch sweet and butterscotchy. Slight astringency, medium bodied and sticky. Overall it’s not bad, but could use some fine tuning to improve.

Second can was better, didn’t get the butterscotch or canned pineapple notes. Not super aromatic but pretty decent.

 

Thanks Matt!

The looks of this beer are deceiving for what you actually get. The pulp free orange juice and light frothy foamed beverage packs some big citrus and tropical fruit punches to the nose. But the flavor takes a pleasant turn with the addition of your classic wet pine wallop. It's a pleasant surprise to feel the elevated bitterness compliment the fruity smoothness, making this a good blend of the two most popular styles of IPAs these days.

Never judge a book by its cover. Great beer. Cheers!

 

Another beer from Matt. Another Illinois beer from a town with the same name as a town in NY.
Apricot body. Cloudy with a good one and a half finger head.
The aroma and taste match up. Tropical fruits galore. Pineapple, passionfruit and a peach sweetness.
Lovely smooth body. Medium with lower carbonation. Nice spicy bit of hops in the finish.

 

 

Best hazy IPA in the area

 

 

 

I tried this at the brewery. It poured a hazy yellow with white head that is leaving a nice lace. The scent had tropical fruit peel flare. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.
