Two great breweries did the heavy lifting & this Nepo Baby is reaping all the benefits. privileged enough to be brewed with Strata, Nelson and Riwaka hops this DIPA is sure to succeed without even trying.

Pours a orangish look. Smells fruity and tastes citra with mango and other fruits. Feels smooth and is easy to drink. In my opinion it is better than their King Sue. Well done!

16 oz. can dated 11/21/23
Golden orange pond water; three fingers fine white head; no floaties or suspensions- sediment in bottom of can.
Full surface ring and continents.
Strong grapefruit, cherry, mango fruit aromas when can is cracked. Impressive considering this is not a fresh can.
All tropical and citrus fruit, light pineapple in the bitter aftertaste.
Smooth, full mouthfeel, good carbonation.
Very unique flavor combination, very good.

Poured from pint can into shaker pint glass.
A: Pours an extremely hazy lemon yellow hue with 2-3 inch billowy white head with excellent retention. Lovely in the glass.
S: Lemon, lime, white grape, mango cream, orange, and soft grapefruit.
T: Lemon, mango, orange, sweet grapefruit, white grape, and hint of lime.
M: Medium body. Delicate layers of tropical and citrus sweetness. Lingers nicely on the palate.
D: Two experts at hazy DIPAs got together…and made a really nice hazy DIPA. The hop expression is superb. Expertly constructed.

TG Nepo Baby is a solid hazy DIPA with a lot of tropical and citrus hop flavors with a bit of green fruit character laid down on a solid pale malt backdrop. Bitterness is low-medium with light fruity esters. Feel is good for a relatively high ABV beer with medium-minus body with moderate carbonation. Overall, Nepo Baby delivers a unique hop character with citrus > tropical > green fruit hop notes on a solid pale malt base for great flavor and feel.

Nepo Baby pours a hazy, orange, yellow color with a larger, long-lasting head. The aroma is sweet, dry, and filled with tropical fruit. the flavor is sweeter, with lots of orange and dry mango. Good dry feel. Overall, it is a sweeter, bold fruiter ipa.
