No canning date

Appearance: Pours a completely hazy (0-5% clarity) medium but incredibly bright and effervescent orange/golden/yellow color with a massive white head to support. SRM of 7. Absolutely beautiful. (4.75)

Aroma: Strong aromas of grapefruit, white wine, orange and lemon citrus with a Heastie Funk intensive banana and esters. (3.50)

Flavor: Strong and juicy flavors of orange citrus, lemon citrus, grapefruit, berries, lightly floral. A strong is defunct within that evolves into an ester aroma of banana and cream. Smooth and mildly sweet. (3.50)

Feel: Medium body, average carbonation, yeasty, slightly tart with Easti funk, and creamy off to finish. (4.00)

Compared to Toppling Goliath MoZee 10/2023: Pours hazier, larger head. Stronger aromas. More tropical peach, melon, and grape. More funk and banana. Less orange white grape, grapefruit, berries, and zest.

Compared to Sunkissed Imprint 10/2023: Pours hazier, larger head. Stronger aromas. More tropical peach, melon, and grape. More funk and banana. Less orange citrus zest. Creamier and more smooth.

Overall: An okay NEIPA here. Haven't had much of Crooked Stave or Lawson's Finest. Cool hop combination with Talus, Vista, and HBC 630. Haven't had Vista before that I know of, but something seemed off in this one as there seems to be some funky/tart yeast and esters giving it a banana profile. Seems like some off-flavors, but I guess could be the hop combination.
