Drank some Collective Arts Collective Project: IPA No. 8
Bottoms up!

Reviewed the beer HOPeration SMaSH
Pours a slightly hazy, light-yellow, almost golden colour with a big warm cap, frothy, creamy, long lasting and delivering nice creamy wavy lacing. Leafy aromas of grassiness with hints of pineapples. The mouthfeel is dry and bitterness is present in the finish. Flavours of grassy hops with a drop of fruitiness in the background. A pretty good IPA. Not sure I would use the name "New England IPA" on the can though, as not really juicy, and the haziness is limited. Still a good micro IPA though.
