IPA - New England / Hazy
This one is brightly thick and smooth in the feel. Creamy peach, mango, citrus and dried leaves in the hop. Glowing hay colored malt is creamy and whipped. Smooth AF with an excellent dry, earthy finish. Depth and complexity is medium to high end.

Canned on 11/25/2024. Pours an opaque orange-yellow color with a long lasting, sticky head - lots of lacing on the glass.
Mild, citrusy aroma is inviting but subtle. Citrus carries through to the taste as well, but not overpowering juicy. Very pleasant, soft mouthfeel is creamy and long lasting. Little Willow has been producing some excellent brews and this one is right up there. Recommended!

Poured into a 16 oz Snulip glass canned on 11/25/24. Pours a very attractive hazy yellow orange with a finger plus sticky white head that leaves thin streaks of webby lace with excellent retention. 4.5
Aroma is peach, mango, passionfruit, mandarin, and apricot. 4.5
Taste follows peach, mango, passionfruit, mandarin, and apricot nothing dominant very nicely balanced. 4.5
Mouthfeel is above medium, soft gentle carbonation, not sticky or dry, and at 7% big bold flavor, but extremely easy going down. 4.75
Overall this brewery is extremely good at NE style IPAs and finding new stuff fresh on shelves often. I highly recommend this one. 4.5
