From the pint can, it pours a hazy amber color with a modest white head that soon reduces to a ring and thin layer. The nose, pineapple scent is immediately evident, along with other citrus notes. The mouth gets a bit of pineapple as well. The feel is moderately smooth and overall pleasant.

To see if it's good karma, the contents of a pint can were relocated into a clear Imperial pint glass. On the opaque side, it's the color of light golden amber with a modest and enduring white head. There's an almost cut grass character to the aroma, which also includes malt, yeast and hops. It drinks only OK. There's some malt taste, but a little less malt body. A hop bite is just about missing, although some ambiguous hop flavor is present. It does finish noticeable hoppy dry and that is its most admirable feature. Not bad at all, when compared to the now commonly over-starched editions of the New New England IPAs, but just a little tasteless from being great.

 

 

 

A: cloudy; deep gold in color; 1+ finger off white head that receded to a very thin cap; nice lacing;

S: predominantly pineapple with a touch of grapefruit as well;

T: mango and pineapple with a touch of caramel in the background; mild bitterness on the finish;

M: medium bodied; moderate carbonation; lightly dry finish;

O: good, but not memorable;

2/27/18...dirty dark gold with heavy white 1/2 inch. Bright floral citrus pine nose. Heavy orange/lemon. Tart bitter forward flavor. Loads of lemon citrus. Juicy mouthfeel, fast finish. Snappy bitter close. Lip smacker.

L - pours a calming amber, like gently glowing embers. Aggressively sticky lacing.

S - orange and lemon. A bit herbal but also kinda hollow and artificial. Pine.

T - toasted Graham crackers slathered in orange marmalade. It's sweet and a little sugary, but light enough that it's not cloying. Mango. Maybe a bit stale. Big blast of grassy bitterness comes in at the end.

F - luscious and creamy. One of the high points of this beer. Soothing.

O - decently tropical with good flavor, but a bit unbalanced and unrefined. Toes the line between NEIPA and West Coast but doesn't pick one.

On tap.
Good look, cloudy orange amber with a dense white head.
Smell and taste are very good, lots of juicy fruity hops, papaya and corange juice.
Feel is good, a bit more oily than juicy, good bitterness and pretty well balanced.

Overall very tasty!

 

 

 

 

 

Started off with lots of great tropical notes in the nose.....pineapple, orange mango, had a nice earthy savory bitterness as well. Palate had unexpected apple note which was quite nice but also malty and bready notes. Over time is just started to fall apart and become flat. Potential here for sure.

The taste is more dank than expected but still has some fruit flavor. Grapefruit, pineapple and green apple. Dank hop finish with some light grapefruit bitterness. Light body with low carbonation. Slightly oily mouthfeel.
