Six week old can from a bar, not super fresh but good enough for me.
Even in a bar setting I could smell pungent fruit upon opening the can. I found a pineapple, mango, and citrus to be fresh and zesty in the nose but not quite as vibrant on the tongue. Very satisfying overall.

This may have mellowed out a bit in time since the review 3 weeks ago. The strong belgian yeast smell is much reduced for me but I see what they are saying and it is a little "off". What I get is a more mellow NEIPA with tart, semi-sweet notes.
Pours a very cloudy, pale gold color with a robust pillowy off white head that retains pretty well. It actually looks pretty damn good.
The aroma has apricot and tangerine notes on the nose. Any yeast concerns are almost absent.
The taste is similar with a base of grapefruit and tangerine pith (note that without the sweetness the citrus flavors become more ephemeral). There is a stone fruit aspect to this one as well, maybe nectarine that comes out in the mid-taste to finish. Pale malt behind it is mostly lost to the abundant hops.
The feel is very soft, a bit thick with a moderate bitterness that comes out in the finish more.
This is actuallyt a pretty damn good NEIPA despite the other ratings. If you are looking to try this batch now I think the green flavors have worn off. I hope the brewers figure out what went wrong for the next time around because this is worth having, You just need to be OK with a NEIPA that is less sweet and a bit more bitter.

I can't decide whether to pour this down the drain or struggle through it. I agree with a previous reviewer - it is yeasty, belgian, almost contaminated in flavor. very different to previous T.O.G releases, which until now have been excellent. Love the brewery but this one is off.. at just over $4 a can this doesn't cut it at all. I can't sell this to my customers... sorry guys, try again

Something about this one is off the mark for me. Nose and after taste remind me more of yeasty Belgian quality than American IPA. That aspect aside, there are some nice fruity notes up front and mouthfeel is good.
