Pale amber color, and very cloudy - like an unfiltered juice. Pours a nice sized white head, creamy and lingering.

Big dank hop aroma with some mango and pineapple, some pine. Has a fruity sweet aroma to start.

Malt up front enhances the sweet fruity flavors of the hops. Has a nice, complex hop flavor, and just minimal on perceived bitterness until the finish. Midmouth onward get more of a pine character, and this earthy/pine carries into the softly bitter finish.

Medium body and carbonation. Hops are borderline harsh on the tongue and back of throat late in the glass - probably unavoidable with the copious hopping used with this beer. But detracted from my enjoyment of the beer.

Loved the first sip, but it gradually went downhill for me. Love the aroma and hop flavors, and uses many of my favorite hops, but gradually became a bit harsh. Maybe a bit too NE IPA for me.
