The Fool, a modern New England IPA brewed with wheat malt and flaked oats, pours an opaque pale yellow color and boasts frut-driven aromas of citrus peel and mixed berry along with a distinct woodsy, dank hop character. The Fool ends each sip with a medium-light body and luscious mouthfeel paired with a restrained bitterness.

Pours a large frothy 2 finger bubbly head with good retention, a bit of lacing, hazy cloudy pale orange color
Nose loads of tropical fruit, papaya, mango up front, juicy citrus, tangerine, orange juice, flaked protein in the mash and a bit of a chalky water softening mineral like character, raw pizza dough,
Taste brings more citrus up front, tangerine, a bit of sweet Valencia orange, into tropical papaya, a bit of mango, some pithy notes, a bit of a spicy menthol berry character like wintergreen or huckleberry or something, some base creamy malt, more raw pizza dough with a touch of yeast, very mild chalky mineral, creamy flaked proteins, touch of a green spicy hop on the back end, finishes a bit soft, a bit more green spicy hop bitterness as well
Mouth is med bod, a bit soft and creamy, mild juicy like, med creamy carb
Overall not bad, very typical NEIPA with a bit of the green spicy hop character and the chalky mineral notes, nothing special

Pours a hazy, lemon yellow with good size, long lasting frothy head. Hoppy aroma with a bit of grain - aroma is not my forte.
Taste is pleasantly hoppy, a bit dry and not overly juicy/fruity. Mouthfeel is good, even though it's on the thinner side. Overall, a pretty good NEIPA that I think is worthy of your consideration.
