Serving: Can
Canned: May-28-2019 (Consumed Jun-23)
It pours a turbid milky straw color with a little white head that stays around fairly well, dotted-line lacing. The aroma has some pineapple and other sweet tropical notes in addition to a whiff of oxidation and a green, hoppy background. Flavor-wise it is similar with more of a bite than I was expecting/wanted. Fruit skins, some hop/yeast burn, relatively bitter. It is a touch astringent, fizzy and coats your mouth in hop essence.
This is not a terrible beer but I don't know if I'd go out of my way to try it again either. I feel like it might be getting a little old (almost a month) for this style but since they sat in it before shipping it out and since I'm over a week before the best before date I can only assume this is what they were going for.
It (like other twists in this beer) was decent but not what I was expecting/hoping for. Additionally as much grumps tend to nit-pick this style, use scare quotes around it, etc. This is not to style (or at least the can I got wasn't). Anyway, it was not a drain pour, but I will probably stick to the straight ahead version from here on out. Batch-to-batch consistency issues and all.

A-Hazy pineapple yellow, with a pillow we wait head and the good lacing
S-Ripe tropical fruits like mango and papaya, with a citrus layer and melon compliment, what a nice fruit cocktail
M-Full body, juicy, resinous, everything you want from New England IPA
T- sweet, yet tart, with a mellow citrus rind aftertaste that is all very well balanced
O-This beer hit NEIPA out of the park! I’ve only had similar at Trillium in Boston, Mass. Go get one and see!!
