Creamy, soft mouthfeel packed with flavors of pineapple juice, coconut and papaya from some beautiful Strata, Sabro & El Dorado hops.

Pours a super-hazed & effervescent gold with 2 fingers of tight pearl colored head. Very good head retention & better lacing
S: Some citrus, peach. Pineapple & coconut late
T: Tangerine, some oats, white grape, green melon & grassy notes up front. Some lime & guava, more white grape, a touch of cream of wheat & pomelo as this beer warms up & a little pineapple, a little coconut. Finishes plenty tropical with coconut, pineapple, pomelo, some dryness & green melon
MF: Medium body, creamy carbonation, a touch of grittyness. Acidity once warmer, good balance
Super drinkability, not a great take on this style, but plenty solid. Couldn't discern the date on the can, so no grace on my ratings

Pours an opaque straw yellow return a creamy white head and thick lacing.
The smell is tropical fruits heavy on the pineapple and mango.
The taste is tropical with orange and a slight coconut flavor on the finish.
This shines on the mouthfeel with a creamy, smooth body and low carbonation.
Overall this is well done and very tasty.

Hazy yellow with slightly tannish tint, active head, lasting lacing. Scents of lemon, mango, pineapple, danky hops/grassy. Taste is citrusy, sweet, slightly bready-notes of mango, pineapple, papaya, a bit of coconut rounding it out. Mouth watering, medium bodied, round and balanced. These guys make good to great New England style among their many pale ales, and my fear is repetition. This one is pretty distinct, and I’d recommend it and would try it again.

8oz. pour on draft. Another solid DIPA from Phase Three.
Juicy mango aroma and mouthfeel with medium viscosity for the style.
The finish fell a bit flat for me, but everything else worked really well for this beer. A juicier, fuller finish would rate up for me.

16oz can, dated 11.30.2020, poured into a stemless wine glass.
The beer pours a very hazy and cloudy golden amber color, straw and honey hues with a foamy white head, maybe two fingers tall with limited retention and lacing. The aroma is pleasant, very tangy, lots of pineapple, plenty of bright floral character, astringent hop oil, raw green and dank hop leaf, mild spice, pale dough, sweet yeast. The flavors are very curious, lots of tropical fruits, pineapple, mango, orange, guava, very floral and offers a bit of bitter and earthy dankness with a coconut like sun-tan lotion flavor that is somehow not unpleasant with a hearty base of pale dough, mineral water and sweet fruity yeast. The mouthfeel is good, coating, creamy, delicate medium body that finishes with a lightly dry bite.
Verdict: A nice NEIPA from Phase Three. Definitely getting the tropical vibes, less so in the nose, which reads as a more typical balance of brightness and earthiness while the flavors lean hard into the tropical vibe even so much as drawing out the coconut cream kind of flavor. Interesting and a break from the mold of this style.
