What's on the Website: "This beer was formulated and brewed with Posse App Development, the super dedicated and talented team who wrote every line of code for the app in your hand. For the beer we went with all New Zealand hops—David, one of the lead developers, has roots there. We featured Nelson Sauvin… ever tasted a beer with this hop? It’s the most coveted strain in the world right now. Known for unique notes of passionfruit and elderflowers common in Sauvignon Blanc (and grown in the same area as the grapes), it’s a tropical and stone fruit blast. No bullshit." Read more here!

REVIEW:
Appearance (5%):
Pours hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. White head. 4.25/5Smell (25%): Pineapple with oaty malts. 4/5
Taste (40%): Malt-forward with slight octane. Mostly a soothing pineapple and stone fruit through the aftertaste. 3.75/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied, some carbonation. Creamy and slightly juicy with some dry tongue. 4.25/5
Overall (20%): A solid Double IPA. Certainly passes for New England-style in appearance, but didn't have a lot going to make it a memorable one. 3.75/5
Final Weighted Rating: 3.888/5
