Chinook, Mosaic, Simcoe, Citra

NEIPA in body, aroma, low IBUs, and oats. But not super juicy + no sign of rye. For an all-star collab in an $8 can, underachieves.

 

Pours a hazy, deep amber coloration with a large, frothy head. Smell is sweet and juicy, with notes of tropical and citrus fruit: mango, passion fruit orange and grapefruit. Taste follows the nose, being quite hoppy, slightly dank and sweet and juicy, but with a good bit of biscuity malt as well. Notes of mango, passion fruit, orange and grapefruit, with a hint of pine as well. Finishes quite bittersweet, with a medium bitterness and some zesty citrus notes. Just a hint of peppery spicyness coming through as well. Very nice, smooth and creamy, almost effervescent, mouthfeel with a rich body and medium carbonation. Lervig and Cloudwater knock it out of the park again, this is an exceptional NEIPA that is easily in the same league as Tree House/Other Half and that at almost 3 months old. I would have liked for the rye character to come out a little more, except for that light spicyness in the aftertaste, but nonetheless, this is a fantastic beer.

Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass.

Pours a hazy orange with fine, white head that leaves quite a bit of pretty lacing.

Smell is tropical and juicy with mango and orange dominating.

Taste takes the fruit from the nose and adds a perfect bitterness and hop bite. Ends with some pine and sweetness.

Mouthfeel is soft and pillowy, well carbonated.

Overall, an outstanding NE IPA by two of Europe's best.
