There are two pages, so I'm going with the older of the two. I wouldn't exactly call this a New England IPA, as they're characterized by the presence of wheat and oats. Also, the can says the brewery is in CT, not PA. Moving right along...
L: Residual alert. You will want to roll the can, and if pouring, pour completely. You don't pay $7.00 a can to leave some in there. I recommend you pour, not only to agitate the heavier ingredients, but because this is a hop heavy brew and you really want to release the hop aromas. Honestly, it's not visually appealing, but I mean, neither is the dude who's face is getting melted off on the can either, so I think we're done discussing the visual.
S: Powerful aroma. The hops and granola are noticeable from a yard away. Raspberry (tart), yogurt cream, and chocolate are present. The nose is similar to Dreamsphere, which I'm supposing is the exact same thing but with less malt and hops.
T: This version hasn't been soured to the extent of Dreamsphere. Perhaps the brewing process is mutually exclusive? It's a raspberry granola chocolate parfait... With hops. And lots of alcohol.
F: The finish is fine. Nothing is clinging to my palate, even the hops are real (they haven't been dissolved into alpha acid). The ingredients are of good quality.
O: Considering that we're working with good fresh hops, your palate will adjust to them quickly. With how sweet and fruity the brew is, the extra bitterness dramatically enhances the drinkability. Plus it has 10% ABV. Dreamscape's cousin, Dreamsphere, might be an aperitif, but this one is the main course.

Got a couple of these from the Giant Eagle. Good bitter hop bite to this with a nice mix of fruity berries. First one was a bit too bitter this one is pretty nice. Doesn't get too tart or the ABV doesn't get too cumbersome. Really enjoyed this could be all the berry and sweet frosting but good balance I drank both. Excellent!
