Through the years and out of the swamp mist emerges the legend of Moonbeam. Growers were said to have burlap sacks full of the Moonbeam strain along the waters edge, with roots literally dipping beyond the surface for unassuming sustenance. Reimagined as a beer, this Northeast Style IPA has a smooth presence with an intense, fresh aroma which lends to a whole lot of juicy hop dankness to be fired up about.

Good head production, retention, and lacing. Body isn't pulpy, but it is quite hazy, and in a thinner glass might allow at least silhouettes to be seen - but in my thick glass, it's basically opaque. Very nice color, a light orange or dark burnished gold.
Wonderfully hoppy and bright aroma, and moderately dank (I'm thinking Galaxy): oregano, orange, grapefruit, lemon, mango, and papaya.
Similar on the palate: juicy and very dank. Tropical fruit emphasis, with a heavy dankness that will certainly appeal to some hop heads.

NEIPA on point with auroma and taste, but not prickly enough. Very cloying and too creamy for my taste.

Kind of an orange cloudy color, nice white head
Juicy aroma some malt
Taste is sweet citrus and some grassy notes
Mouthfeel was a bit sticky not too astringent and finished with a slight bite
Overall a nice version of a NEIPA
