Beachcomber is a double-dry-hopped New England IPA loaded with Citra and Sabro hops. Look for notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and just a touch of coconut.

16oz can. Bottom stamp is 'CANNED ON 6/16/25', about five weeks in the can.
Hazy, pale gold colored body. One finger of soapy white head, and this leaves a high ring of lacing, along with other rings as the body is drunk down.
Aroma of pineapple, orange, green melon, and a whiff of coconut and mint.
Taste is sweet, slightly overripe fruit, with flavors of pineapple, orange, strawberry, and hints of coconut and mint. Slightly bitter resin, especially in the aftertaste.
More than medium mouthfeel. Soft texture. No burn or numbing. Very good carbonation.
Soft with some resin and a variety of hop flavors.

Heavily hazy maize with a creamy white head.
Sharp cannabis doesn't go so far as aspirin but has a resinous punch that threatens it.
The slick body is yet almost thick, but easily cut by that somewhat overbearing resin.

Picked-up a four-pack of cans at Bradford's in Plymouth for about fifteen dollars. My second brew from these guys. Very good.

Pours a hazy light orange with a small foamy head and a lot of lacing.
Smells of slightly dank floral hops and citrus.
Tastes of slightly tart grapefruit along with sweeter orange and Lemon as well as some oats in the malt. Slightly bitter finish.
Medium body and light carbonation. Slightly lush smooth mouthfeel.
This is a very drinkable, well balanced moderately juicy and lightly bitter brew.

Draft pour at JM Curleys downtown Boston. Beautiful straw/orangey color. Nice hop nose. Super-soft on the palate, decent balance malt/hops… maybe a tad sweet. Their other beer I’ve had is the tree hugger and this feels like a lesser version of that, but more drinkable.
