Poured from a 16 oz can, dated 05/09/22 into the test glass
A - Bright, lemonade color, a bit hazy, active carbonation feeds a white pillowy cap.
S - Papaya, and pine in a constant dance, a touch of pineapple and lemongrass as well.
T - Lovely and delicate grain, pilsner and wheat, hops add that pineapple, papaya, white pepper, pine.
M - Light in body, crisp carbonation, start is surpisingly dry, (I like that) then a move toward tropical fruit sweet, a rapid piney dry bitterness is the final wave. Linger has a beautiful piney thread.
O - A very good, offering, the grain base is simple, the hops are pleasant change. The fact that the offerings ingredients are local to New England is a fun aspect. I like the easy drinking aspect, at 5.5% and not a meal lke some other IPA's, adds to my enjoyment

This one pours a fairly hazy light golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like melon, papaya, grapefruit, sharp grassy hops, and pine.

This was a very pleasant surprise. There's a fairly strong tropical character to this - papaya, dried pineapple, grapefruit juice, with a healthy clean bitterness on the back end.

This is light bodied, wispy, and crisp on the finish, with a very nice drinkability.

I had never heard of this brewery before, and I'll have to keep an eye on them.

 

Appearance - pours a turbid yellow, nice foam lacing

Smell - honey, peach

Taste - creamsicle, peach

Mouthfeel - light with medium carbonation

Overall - At first, the smell didn't carry over. You really need to agitate the can to get the flavors to carry over. Good beer
