Pours a hazy, golden orange with high, soapy head.
Smell is juicy and a bit sweet with notes of passionfruit, pineapple, grass, mango and citrus peel with a hint of grapes.
Taste is juicy and soft with notes of passionfruit, pineapple, citrus, grass and some melon. Soft bitterness with a slight edge to it. Very hoppy but with very little burn. Superb balance.
Mouthfeel is exquisite, soft and pillowy with good carbonation and a velvety texture.
Overall, a truly great NE IPA. Easily up there with Tree House, Trillium, OH and Monkish.

Nose: Pineapples, Mango, Sweet Tropical VSB Juice
Taste: ALL Juice, even being canned yesterday this has no “greenness” or hop bite just pure juice, Pineapple, Peach Rings, Mango and Lemon Lime
Mouthfeel: Medium Bodied, more on the carbonated side than creamy which works phenomenal for me due to it being 6.2% juice made for SUMMER chugging
