A: The beer is very hazy yellow in color. It poured with a short white head that left some lacing on the surface and a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of mangos, pine, and pineapple are present in the nose.
T: The taste has initial flavors of pear, pineapple and stone fruit with notes of piney and spicy hops in the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied and juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I liked the contrast between the tropical fruit and the pine flavors in the taste of this New England-style IPA.
Serving type: can

Appropriately hazy and pulpy, essentially opaque. Good head production and decent retention.
Super, incredibly juicy nose. Pineapple, mango, and lemon tones come together with a hint of bright herbs and smooth sugar and honey.
Just as juicy on the palate, and the lactose contributes both to a smooth body and emphasis on the sweetness of the juicy hop tones. Mandarin orange, pineapple, mango, papaya, grapefruit, parsley. Low to moderate bitterness. Hits a sweet spot for mouthfeel as a 7.5% ABV lactose hazy IPA: creamy, smooth, but still lively.
This IPA isn't groundbreaking; it's not introducing anything that others haven't already shown you. But it hits those notes with exceptional precision. Easily one of the best - and best executed - IPAs I've had out of the last dozen or so.

Look: Cloudy and opaque. Pours with a thin, fluffy head.
Smell: Punchy tropical notes, pear emerges the strongest.
Taste: Acidic in a bright, fresh way. Very sweet as it hits mouth, crisp citrus flavor and powerful taste of azacca hops. No bitterness, the chinook hops are perfectly balanced and add to the citrus aroma.
Feel: Bright citrus accidity mellows the bitterness and alcohol is unnoticeable.
Overall: Pretty good, very distinct flavor that I'd really need to be in the mood for.
