From the 16 oz. can dated 11/7/18. Sampled on November 26, 2018.
A slightly hazy looking light amber-yellow with a quick lasting white head.
The aromas are vibrant with citrus, orange, pineapple, and bright juicy hops. The sourdough sensation is a little below that.
Around a medium mouthfeel.
The taste ends up being far more sweet and citrusy than I expected with a slight to moderate bitter finale. But the sweetness really stepped forward.

A crowler fill from Windsor, VT. Fill date 7/5/18 opened on 7/6/18
A very slight haze inside the bright golden color. Still very active. Low lying white foam settles in for a while.
The nose has a very light and seeet toned fruity blend style aroma. Very light golden malty sweetness and just a bit peppery.
The flavor is much more earthy and peppery toned than I expected. The hops seem very subtle in it's fruity way. Lightly sweet tropical punch currents and dry-earthy and herbal notes pop out two. Nicely balanced hop flavor but still, very subtle. The herbal and crispy malt is very effective, with a nice buttery sweetness that remains very light with an herbal bite. As the hops mature in the glass, kiwi and tangy wild strawberries pop out with a light golden wheat kick from the malt to even it out.
Light to medium bodied, very crispy with a slightly long, slick malty finish. Slightly juicy with a cripy start and long finish. Not a bad texture but certainly not as thick, unfiltered and dense as most hazy-fruity hopped NE style ipa's are currently. Juicer 2 harkens back to ipa's I can remember from the beginning of the 21 first century. Today, this one falls more into the APA category. Certainly not a bad beer, but worlds away from most quality ipa's right now.

16oz can dated 6/1/18, thanks Chris!
Pours clear gold with a slight chill haze. Retention is minimal with sporadic lacing. Cantalope with fruit juice in the nose. Medium bodied with a crisp, slightly tacky mouthfeel. Melon from a fruit cup on the palate with zero malt and minimal bitterness. Finishes a bit sweet with lingering fruit cup juice.
Not bad, just strangely fruity without any real emphasis of hops.

Dated 6/1/18 "Drago 152" on the bottom of the can, just under 2 weeks since brewing.
Pours an unfiltered yellow-orange dirty straw in the glass with two + half fingers of rocky white head that doesn't stick around. Nose of blackberry, yellow grapefruit, a whisper of mango, slight black pepper, slight gooseberry and unfortunately, vaporized alcohol. Not nearly as nice as their first production of "Juicer", even more alcohol. Taste is much sweeter than the nose, bringing in some cantaloupe and as far I can detect, some unannounced lactose. Alcohol bite is just as bad in taste as the nose, catching me off guard. Harpoon is not doing a great job hiding their higher ABV beer's alcohol. Mouthfeel is medium with a little stickiness. Low bitterness and drying, Medium-light sweetness. Not nearly as nice as the last Juicer brew, even more alcohol bite in this one. Really not digging it.

Orange amber color with a definitive haze. Small head with decent initial spotty lace but little to show later in the tasting.
Pine and citrus rind aroma.
Watery, pale malt base. The hop steals the show in the swallow in a one-dimensional way; it's straight up bitter. The carbonation is elevated, making for a thin bodied mouthfeel. The finish is pedestrian with little complexity.
