From a 16oz can dated 6/19/20 ("you're smart") into a non-descript glass from the house we are renting this week.
Pours an opaque orangish brown with a bout four fingers of fluffy white head. Great retention, average lacing.
Smells of oranges, tangerines, a bit of grapefruit and a touch of pine bitterness.
Taste is more bitter than it smells, but the citrus flavor dominates. Mild bitter resin flavors as well.
Mouthfeel is fairly smooth and a little sticky. Average carbonation. Mild bitter aftertaste.
Overall, a nice IPA. Mainly bought it because it's my sister's name.

Canned 5/26/20 "watch this drive". Bought a 4-pack of this - the first one was underwhelming, but I liked it more and more as I had additional cans over the next few weeks. It's got a slightly hazy but mainly transparent appearance with an orange color to it. Moderate head with tight bubbles. The aroma when cracking the can is nice and fresh and juicy, but it doesn't linger for long after pouring. Its taste is mild, but well-balanced between hops and juice. The feel is smooth, but pretty basic - nothing that really stands out. It's a very drinkable beer, but not the most memorable. Compared with Joann, also from Brown's, I'd have to give Joann the edge.

Big hazy pulpy orange pour. Citrus pineapple aroma jumps at you. Smooth mellow sweet citrus flavor. Bitter finish. The bitterness is slightly overwhelming but a solid NE IPA.

"Hey Carla - beer me!" ~ Eddie Lebeck
A: Poured into a Palm tulip. Body is hazy dark golden/orange with a small white head.
S: Nice nose jumps out of the glass. Juicy citrus with a touch of tropical fruit.
T: Good flavors of citrus (oranges, orange peel, and lemon) with a hint of pineapple juice. Tobacco leaf mid sip. Sweet and juicy up front, but with nice lingering (and drying) bitterness at the finish.
M: The feel here detracts from the overall experience - hard to explain it exactly, but it's not quite juicy or thick enough; comes across as a tiny bit watery and thin. Also fine but active carbonation provides a little "bite," which seems out of place for a juicy-type NEIPA.
O: Very good. I like to support local brewers, and the price was right ($9.99 for a 4-pack). I'd get this again.
