Pours opaque golden yellow thin quickly dissipating head
Aroma of peach, melon and citrus, slight earthy ness and kind of floral
Taste is a bit bitter, citrus rind like and some juicy peach and grass
Mouthfeel is prickly up front and chunky feeling ending dry tasting with a lingering stickyness, not sweet but not overly bitter either
Overall this is a nice tasting New England DIPA not a heavy juice bomb like a lot of them. Drinks easy and tasty

Thanks again to Florida Man who hooked up these Florida beers when they were dropping the Tom Petty stuff back towards the end of 2018. I am a Swamp Head fan at this point looking back.
Pours a darker golden color, clarity is not the beer's friend, but it isn't full blown haze territory either despite the style subgenre claim on the can. Wasn't the greatest at retention of white head. The color of my beer is lighter than those full blown amber pours on untappd. The lackluster appearance is quickly forgotten, as they do quite well with the aroma, dropping a medley of Mosaic, Galaxy and Citra. All the requisite orange, pineapple, blueberry and weed notes, Florida style.
Taste is nice, same smells in the taste, but throw in some melon, tangerine, lemon and grapefruit notes as well. Bitterness is such that I was expecting Simcoe here. Seems all barley, not sure about the hazy designation. Looks like they've changed the recipe up, the cheater hops worked well here.

I'm not sure that the beer was this hazy and light in color from years past. The nose is of some dank hops. Fresh flowers, grass, citrus fruit, and melon all come out on the nose. The head is a little lacking along with the straw color. The body and taste are crisp spot on for the DBL IPA. It is called out on the can as Hazy Double IPA. I like this years version and I hope they consider brewing it again!

This is a fresh hop IPA released in September. Fresh hop brews are intended to be consumed fresh. You should disregard any reviews from January the following year.
10/2015: Far better than last year. Delicious fresh hop taste. No bitterness, just beautiful all the way down.
