On-tap 12/10/2021 at the brewery’s taproom in Fall River, MA, served in a half-pint glass.

A: The beer is a deep gold color, with a large foamy dense white head that fades slowly and leaves a very thick lace on the glass.

S: The aroma is faint but contains floral hops, citrus and light caramelized malts.

T: The taste starts out with a strong floral hops bitterness that is quickly followed by some juicy and creamy citrus fruit sweetness. The malt character is hearty but not too heavy and brings a good balance. The after-taste is slightly hoppy and slightly sweet.

M: Crisp and very smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.

O: Tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, good kick, good representation of style. This is a solid NEIPA to drink for a while.

Can to tulip.
The appearance was a fabulous looking dark orange to murky yellow color with a finger's worth of white foamy head. This slid off nicely to leave some messy lace spider webbing gently all around.
The had iced orange pulp roaming into subtle crisp piney notes. Some light berry whiffs - somewhat like gooseberries/strawberries with a little bit of floral hop bitterness even further down below.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side through the previously mentioned aromas adding a touch of grassy hop bitterness. Mellow aftertaste of orange pulp, some sweet cream, and smooth grassy to piney hop bitterness.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a decent sipping quality about it. Carbonation felt fine, nice and low key. Fairly smooth along my tongue. Finishes semi-sticky with a certain crisp dry berry tone to it.
Overall, the label says "a Slovenian hop experience" which seemed like a nifty idea however, I say what came across seemed to cater to all of the normal aromas and flavors I tend to usually get in New England styled IPA's. No worries, I'd still have this again.

Very nice hazy color. Light but pleasant citrus nose. Taste is just a hair off... good but not great. A solid offering in a very crowded category. But nothing that makes it stand out.
