Loaded with fresh citrus and tropical hops. Notes of mango, sweet tangerine, and pomelo. Soft, elegant mouthfeel. Lingering with subtle maltiness.

Expected it to be heavier with its quite thick dark look. Not a strong aroma. A more sweeter taste than citrus but a pretty good balance of both. Enjoyable NEIPA.

Poured a nice murky faded gold. 1 finger head.
Nose seemed medium, light for a NEIPA. Detect pineapple and melon.
Taste was sour citrus, malt and melon aftertaste. Alcohol stood out a touch too much, but was not overpowering.
Interesting brew, its characteristics seemed to change slightly as it breathed. On the nose side the melon flavor started to stand out, and taste wise there was a stronger sweetness at the end and the melon flavor became much more pronounced.
This had a great soft mouth feel only brought down by a touch of alcohol bite.
I'd love this paired with Korean Fried Chicken, I think the sweetness of the beer would complement it nicely.
All in all, this is a wow beer for me. Granted this is my favorite style, but it is above average in all aspects of its style and a nice melon flavor I do love. Bravo.

On first pour this is a very attractive looking for the style, its just slightly more murky then I'd like but it has a beautiful orange hued look to it. Great dense white head that leaves some substantial lacing, it also has some great retention.
The nose is quite enjoyable too; it has a tropical fruit salad like smell to it but it has a noticeable pungent kick of orange citrus fruits to it as well, along with a pineapple like bite on the back end.
The taste follows the nose but to me the orange citrus and pineapple steal the show with the tropical vibe becoming much much less noticeable.
Great mouthfeel, part of my dislike for hazy ipa is the sweet and sometimes cloying overly thick mouthfeel. This one drinks incredibly clean for the style; it verges on finishing dry and the bitterness is noticeable and nice and clean as well; no hop burn nonsense just old school clean IBUs.
As far as hazy IPAs go this is to me almost as good as it can get, it hits the extra look notes and isn't overly fruity or sweet and it still tastes and reminds me a lot of beer. It is also what I think is the IPA sweet spot of between 6-7. This is a good enjoyable beer that I would recommend to anyone who likes the style.

A good beer could be great if the alcoholic notes could be subdued a bit. Also a bit harsh carbonation.

Picked-up a single can at Craft Beer Cellar in Waterbury for about five dollars. My second brew from these guys. Decent IPA, nothing special.
