Pours a hazy golden-amber colour with full tiny particles through it. The soapy head is off-white, with average retention and a decent bubbly coating. The nose is nicely hopped with citrus notes and mild grassiness. Kind of a touch of lemongrass and cilantro. Hints of honey. The taste is quite hoppy, with basically grass and bitterness. A dry mouthfeel. Thought I had seen New England IPA written on can, as in - Juicy, juicy, juicy. Nope, not juicy. Would maybe say this is a good IPA, but not fruity, nor juicy.

The beer pours a cloudy medium gold colour with a half inch bubbly white head which quickly falls back on itself to be a thin white film. The aroma is tropical fruit notes such as mango and passion fruit, some grains, and some musty notes. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is dry with a definite white grapefruit bent, there are also weak notes of grapefruit skin, some grass, and a little spiciness. Interesting.
