Character Description:

Dry hopped with over 2 pounds of hops per barrel and loaded with tons of amarillo and mosaic hops. Birsting with flavor this new england style IPA is brewed with a simple malt bill to bring out hints of juice, pineapple, citus, tropical flavors and aromas from the hops.

Swank’s Take
As previously mentioned, I am a fan of the NEIPA type of beers, and this one is…wait for it…right on the Money. You can taste the Amarillo and Mosaic hops, and while they do not fully blitz the pallet, they will certainly let you feel their presence. The aroma from the hops also helps to enhance the flavor. The color is beautifully hazy, just like NEIPA’s should look!

Final Verdict
I plan on getting my hands on another 4-pack of this, if possible. I was told at the store that it has been flying off the shelves, and I hope that I can get back to it very soon. #KnotYourAverageIPA is its motto, and I agree. Thimble Island has continued to bring the heat, and I remain impressed.

Thanks for checking out our reviews, and stay tuned for the podcast coming very soon!!! #SwankyOut
