Blooming with botanical flavors and aroma, and blended with tangerines, this New England Style India Pale Ale is brewed with Amarillo and Simcoe hops, tangerines, and gin flavoring. The perfect sip.

Appearance: Pours a moderately opaque (40-50%) hazy, deep orange color with a minimal to no head. SRM of 10. (3.50)
Aroma: Strong aromas of tangerine upfront. This follows into a strong gin aroma. But not only gin, there's also some cilantro and ginger spices. Then somelemon/lime and Sprite aromas. It does resemble gin distinctly. Lots of lemon/lime and orange citrus. (3.75)
Flavor: Follows on the tongue with more tangerine & grapefruit upfront as it follows into more lemon/lime, Sprite, and gin flavor. Some spices and flowery flavors in the middle for sure, before it finishes witha lemon/lime and citrus finish with a smooth tangerine and grapefruit sweetness on the end. Finishes relatively dry. (3.50)
Feel: Medium-body. Low carbonation. Finishes smooth, but flat. (3.25)
Compared to Sierra Nevada's Hazy Little Thing 4/4/21: Pours a deeper orange color. Milder head. More gin, spices, and citrus on the aroma. Less orange citrus, pine, and pineapple juice. Winner: Hazy Little Thing
Overall: I think this one had some potential, but ultimately a dissapointment. The gin aromas were nice, but a bit overpowering. It definitely has the gin component going for it. The body was completely flat, and it sort of felt like drinking a flat Sprite with a strong gin component. It could be improved with more fruity hops, and a more restrained gin component. Also give it any sort of body would help. Disclaimer: I did drink this one 6 months old, so it may have been better more fresh, but I cannot imagine so much that I would change my mind on this one.

Can. Hazy vibrant orange yellow.
Tons of citrus fruits. Orange and tangerine. Gin flavors are actually present. A lot of pine. Very unique ipa. Not sure what to think of this.

12oz can. Bottom of can is stamped 'CANNED ON 11/28/20'.
Hazy, pale gold colored body. Brief white head, but this results in an active surface of rising bubbles. Lacing spots that stick to the glass are few and far between.
Aroma is very much of tangerine and pineapple. A sweet gin smell might be there too.
Taste is comforting with big citrus - tangerine, pineapple, orange pith and grapefruit. The gin lingers late, with its spruce juice. Has a flavor balance between the slightly sweet and the slightly bitter. No extremes here.
Medium mouth feel. Tends toward the astringent, but with some softness. Good carbonation.
Juicy beer that is full of citrus flavors and the spruce touch. Very easy to drink, because it touches the sweet and bitter but does not overbalance towards either. Does not really have a beer taste, but rather is a fruit juice with alcohol.
