NO can date
FIzzy bubbly smaller head with fair retention, touch of lacing, very hazy cloudy orange peach color. Obviously hazy/NEPA style but the can makes no mention at all, just calls it a pale ale.
Nose brings citrus, orange cream, tangerine, a dank resinous maybe oniony character that is unpleasant, light cereal grain, chalky mineral aromas, hint of tropical fruit
Taste starts with more of the chalky minerals almost papery like, cereal grain, flaked oats or similar, then juicy citrus, orange cream and a hint of grapefruit, mango into mild tropical, very mild oniony character, a little pithy, no bitterness up front, and just a hint on the finish that finishes soft milky like and chalky
Mouth is med to lighter bod, very soft but still somehow watery, med carb
So not a fan of this, not only is it not a pale ale, but even for NEIPA it has plenty of flaws, some oniony hops, way too much chalky mineral, it's watery and milky at the same time somehow, unpleasant

A: Pours a hazy yellow color with 2 fingers of head that fades down to a thin cap that leaves good lacing
S: A mix of citrus, pine, and floral hops up front along with a light wheat undertone
T: Follows the nose. Starts off with a mix of floral, pine, and citrus. Goes into some light wheat and peppery notes. Very light bitterness. Finishes with lingering citrus and pine
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation
O: A very good NE pale ale with a good bit of hoppiness. Super easy to drink. Worth checking out

Pours a very pale light yellow, thick white foamy head. Big aroma, citrua and lemon, a touch of wheat. Similar flavor, not much bitterness. Fluffy soft feel

Pours a pale yellow gold, almost straw color, cloudy. One finger silky head disappears, leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is faint but rich with tangerine and unripe peach. Reserved. The taste is compact and not overpowering, filled with moderarely sweet tangerine and a touch of peach, maybe some honey in the midtaste. I really like this flavor. Very responsibly balanced. Mouthfeel is somewhat soft, medium bodied, with a bit of creaminess lingering in the finish. Bitterness is light. This is a fantastic APA offering. I'd say it is a must-have when up in the East Bayside of Portland (no excuse not to be with the breweries here)
