Make a choice. I was going to start this review off with a commentary about the fact that this brewer invented this sub- sub- style of beer (Double New England IPA) and has gone all in with it. I mean, this is only the
second time I've had this style, and this is the second beer of this style from them. But, they need to get consistent with their naming. On this can, unlike the previous can, this is referred to as a new England Double IPA. The last beer was a Double New England IPA. I think the former is probably more accurate, but I went with what they wrote on the first can, and I'm not changing it.

The beer pours almost exactly like it sister. It seems almost white at first and eventually becomes a light golden orange that reminds me of dry hay or wheat. Speaking of wheat, there appears to be enough inside this beer to cause extreme haziness to the point of nothing more than translucency in the center of the beer. The head is fulsome with this one much like the previous, and the lacing is more like a stain than it is a webwork of bubbles clinging to the glass. The aroma is very mild, and it comes from juices and a bit more grains than the previous one.
First sip is very good. It's got quite a tart character to it, but the mixture of grapefruit, tangerine, orange, star fruit, plum, and even a bit of banana are merged into a grain-backed fruit mixture that is quite enjoyable. From a sip, this fantastic, but this is certainly working. But let's see what a good swig brings us.
Tip-in is a little tart and a little sweet with orange, mandarin orange, and ripe plums. The middle gets very laid-back, and grains mix underneath as the fruit juices get very watered down above it all. The finish is where tart and bitter mixed with each other before straw grains lead into the trail off.
Bottom Line: This makes a strong case for the style.
