Sunny afternoon orange with a clearing haze. Juicy mango, orange, tangerine. Soft and smooth for 9%

No date on can sent by Tavour. Does not look as nasty as most NEIPAs as it actually looks nice. Not much head however but leaves some lacing behind. Aroma of toasted and cracker like malt with hop aromas of earth, pepper, and citrus. Surprisingly dank for using German hops. Also quite a bit of fruity esters. They call this an Imperial NEIPA but it is very dry tasting. I like it this way. Nice malt base of lightly toasted bread and a touch of toffee. Hops are earthy, dank, with citrus which I maybe confusing with the yeast esters. Definitely something fruity in the finish. Also very bitter for a NEIPA which I also like. Full body but a tad under carbonated. Not going to be a favorite of those that like sweet and fruity IPAs especially combined with the German hops. But I enjoyed this beer much more than all those other cookie cutter NEIPAs.

A: The beer is hazy amber yellow in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a short white head that left a collar consisting of medium-sized bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of passion fruit, oranges, and pineapples are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional hints of cherries in the finish. Only a slight amount of bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer isn't nearly as aromatic, flavorful, and juicy compared to some of the other IPAs out there but is quite tasty considering it was fermented with kviek yeast. It is rather easy to drink.

Serving type: can

19.2oz can from Tavour. Cloudy orange/amber, patchy head. It almost glows. Caramel malt aroma with a touch of orange, both flesh and peel. Taste is oranges, caramel, citrus peel. Wonderfully thick and full, bitterness pops up at the back, fruity sweetness and a bit of alcohol warmth. Well balanced.

Somewhat opaque orange with a bubble collar. Smell features nutty and earthy hops with plenty of toasted caramel malt. Taste the nutty and earthy hops take on a resinous nature, the star with the robust yeast, strangely appealing, but nothing like your standard neipa. Notes of orange, melon rind, toast, caramel malt, and sunflower seed accent. Feel is smooth, slightly resinous, full and heavy. I really like this going against the grain, but more interesting than good
