This is truly a NE IIPA as listed on the can. Has a medium fruit taste that leans mainly towards melon. Has a light to medium dankness. A slight malt background. A heavy on the light side bitterness. Sounds good but there is something just off a little with this. It's not a bad beer but the basically melon only fruit doesn't help. The dankness is off too. Overall I'm almost at a 3 but not quite. So I'll go 2.75.
