A brewery I was excited about when they first came out, but their beers were very expensive compared to other locals so I stopped buying them. This was a bit easier to purchase. Canned 9/29

Pours a nice fluffy foamy 1 finger head that fades at a slower pace, bit of sticky lacing, fairly hazy, lemony tangerine color.

NOse is very fruity, some musty tropical fruits, lemony grassy as well, dank passion fruit, guava, little citrus and pith, loads of guava like tons of it, little creamy malt base.

Taste starts with fluffy malt, creamy oats and wheat, little toasted biscuity thing, back into big hop tropical fruit, loads of guava again, like guava paste candies, little dank passion fruit, touch of lemon and grassy hops, bit earthy too, fair bitterness, a little sweetness, and touch of grapefruit on the back end, finish is a little bitter rind citrus notes, bit sticky too.

Mouth is med bod, little creamy fluffy carb.

Overall a pretty good IPA, different fruits than usual for NEIPA style, but nice.
