500ml can - who the hell is Einar? And why is he supposedly so funny?
This beer pours a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, rather loosely foamy, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some thoroughly splendid webbed lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, some orange, red grapefruit, and aged lemon citrus peel, a stoney flintiness, and some plain leafy, weedy, and dank green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, some estery yeastiness, mixed domestic citrus rind, a further indistinct tropical fruitiness, some damp minerality, and more earthy, musty, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is damned-near non-existent in its ineffectual frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a so-so time at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the dank hops essentially running the lingering show.
Overall - yup, this comes across as exactly what one might imagine a NEIPA to be, if it was filtered through De Proef. Not bad, but not all that good, by the same sword. Pretty dull, and not worth the exorbitant retail price in my neck of the woods.

Pours an unclear orange with fine, soapy head.
Smell is very earthy upfront, but the back smells like mud and rotting vegetables.
Taste follows the nose but adds some sweaty socks to the mix.
Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.
I'm torn about reviewing this, because there has to be something wrong with this. Other reviews I've read have been very varied, from what I experienced up to a decent IPA. Will try this again if I can, and update accordingly. As it was, this is undrinkable.
