Served from the can in a Gale Sayers shaker pint glass.

This stuff pours a cloudy sunrise orange-amber topped by a finger of lightly off-white foam. The nose comprises grass, flowers, powdered sugar (P3 yeast, y'all!), mild orange peel, and a touch of dank greens. The taste brings in more of the same, along with some orange zest and rather light mango pulp. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a drying finish. Overall, a solid hazy, nothing too special, but something that's nonetheless eminently drinkable..

16oz can, dated 01.26.2021, poured into a stemless wine glass.

The beer pours a hazy golden straw color, orange and amber hues with a nice foamy white head, about two fingers tall with good retention and excellent lacing. The aroma is nice, lots of citrus and tropical fruit juice, melon, soft peach with a nice floral quality, mild earthiness and grassiness and a pleasant soft doughy base. The flavors are nice, bursting with citrus juice, tropical punch, peach and melon with a delicate floral quality and a more assertive grassiness and dankness, mild bitterness with a sweeter yeast and pale dough finish. The mouthfeel is good, coating, lively medium body, a bit on the heavier side with a slightly dry finish.

Verdict: A nice IPA from Phase Three. Definitely steers into the sweeter side of the NEIPA style but is packed with refreshing and delicate hop flavors.

 

 

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on April 16, 2020.

 

Not a lot of head on it. Orange/gold and cloudy. Orange citrus smell and taste. Bit tangy with some grapefruit notes on the taste as well. Slight bitterness. Crisp, medium bodied, mouth filling. Another excellent New England IPA from them. Would buy it again.

 

Really liked this one from Phase Three. It had a nice hazy orange look and a great smell of citrus and melon. The taste was as you would expect with a lot of juice up front but the finish had some bitterness and a little spice which was unexpected. Very nice soft mouthfeel

 

Pours a creamy grapefruit juice. A nice two finger, fluffy white head. Nice lacing.
Wonderful spicy, candied citrus fruit and malt smell. Can smell lactose and vanilla.
Wonderful creamy, candied citrus taste. Good, dank spice of garlic and pepper.
Super soft mouthfeel, typical of my Phase three experiences.
Simply awesome!

 

Released 4/8/20; drank 4/9/20 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque dull orange/yellow appearance.

A rough pour yielded a minimal off-white head; frothy lace.

Orange peel, grass & mild cream flavors.

Medium mouthfeel.

Orange peel & dry grass flavors up front; mild sugar sweetness on the finish.

Pleasant & above average, if not revelatory.

No canning date, but released and consumed today 4/9/20

It’s a beautiful orange juicy hazy IPA. I must say I bought it bc I thought the Instagram picture looked nice and bc I hadn’t bought a Phase 3 in awhile. The smell is amazing. I can smell the hop bite that I also get when drinking. Great full mouthfeel as well. Another top offering from them and with buying again.
