Aroma: “Gooseberry hops aroma, with light fruity lemon and medium grapefruit. A little spiciness with a touch of pine that complements the fruity esters and light malt aroma.”

Flavor: “Sweet and tart citrus at first, with notes of orange and pineapple, and moderate bitterness that lingers for a bit. Berry-flavored hops, with some spice and pine. A medium malt background and a light, fluffy body. Finishes with mango sweetness. So much is happening in this beer. It’s refreshing.”

Overall: “Not quite as chewy as other New England IPAs, but it’s a bit more spicy and bitter with the earthy pine notes. The tartness conflicts somewhat with the hops, but it’s not a very bitter IPA, so the conflict is minimized. This beer is not shy—it’s packed with juicy, delicious flavor.”
