When we brewed Love And Hoppiness, we did not anticipate the level of support and continued requests for it that we have received. So, we decided to brew a bigger NE, hazy style IPA focusing on fruity/juicy hops. The goal was to build on the lessons learned from the L&H series and continue to finesse the yeast into making sweet love to our tastebuds. The result is a beer so aromatic and juicy, you'd think you are sucking on a hop. Raise a glass with us, Sukahop and enjoy a pint of this wonderful newly emerging style of beer.

Pounder can into a tulip appears clouded yellow with a white cap.
Aroma of cheesy pelletized hops, grass and sulfur.
Taste is grapefruit juice, slightly tropical fruit bitterness and drying with a grain aftertaste.
Medium in body, modestly carbonated and very enjoyable.

Poured from 16o can into 20oz tulip glass. Canned on 3/7/18.
Look: Dark yellow, with good amount of haze. 1/3" head formation during a fairly aggressive pour. Loads of lacing on glass as you drink it, but it (as well as the head) will vanish rapidly. Color-wise and initial look, its a great looking NEIPA.
Smell: Orange, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, apricot and lemongrass. Really great fruit-forward smelling beer.
Taste: I get lemongrass, orange, grapefruit, apricot and an earthy, florally taste. Somewhat bready flavor as well, but I think it is more the earthy floral taste I was mentioning. Also has a dankness to the beer which is evident residual flavor wise. I'm digging this. Evident hop profile as well, which is interesting since I didn't pick it up on the nose.
Feel: Medium body and weight, but isn't as soft as other NEIPA's. Bitterness is evident in this beer, and carbonation is medium in terms of strength.
Overall: This is a solid IPA. It isn't juicy by any-means since there is an evidence hop profile. Great beer, and job well done Track Seven. As always, I am grateful to have tried it. Cheers!

Canned 3/7/18, consumed 3/23/18
Poured hazy, cloudy light orange with a small head that left decent lacing.
Aroma is a big burst of orange with other citrus and tropical fruits, along with some piney and danky hops to a lesser extent.
Taste is a zesty, fruity explosion, balanced out with earthy and dank notes. Really delicious.
Mouthfeel is medium, good carbonation, solid but not overbearing bitterness that finishes very clean.
Overall, this is a pretty great hazy IPA. Not soft and pillowy like most of them out there, this thing has big flavor and real zing.

Pours a cloudy ,hazy, golden straw color with thick white head and lacing for days.Nose is very aromatic -citrusy, piney, fruity. Taste follows -this is a hoppy juice bomb. Really delicious. Lots of carbonation, juicy and slightly bitter .Mighty fine.

Exceptional smell. Peaches, mango, melon. Taste is more on the citrus side. Grapefruit and peel. Carbonation kind of jabs you at the end. There's a floral after taste also which was a little weird. I'd drink it again. Little pricey at $5.49 a pint can.

Thanks to @xicanobeerrun for the tallboy of this.
This pours a hazy turbid gold with decent foam. Big big big aroma, with a hint of phenols and a touch of wine grape and some peach to complement it. It's lightly bitter, with a more pronounced wine grape and peach character, balanced by a green hop note. Tasty drinker. Enjoyed every sip.

No canned date, but I know this to b fairly fresh
Appearance - Pours moderately hazy and kind of a dirty, golden straw color. White, puffy finger-width head show fair retention with a thin, broken layer of suds with a thin ring around the edge of the glass.
Smell - Juicy notes of orange, pineapple, passionfruit and a hint of mango. also a hint of pine and spice riding beneath.
Taste - Follows the nose. Notes of juicy orange, light passionfruit and pineapple upfront. A hint of tangerine. Finish is very bitey, with pineapple zing dominating the finish that gives this thing an aggressive kick that most in the style are lacking.
Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with moderate, bitey carbonation. Slick, slightly silky texture with a crisp, easy going, but also buzzing finish.
Overall - An exemplary brew from Track 7, and one that I think is a fantastic adversary to Moonraker's Yojo. While I prefer the former, I wouldn't have any problem buying this one for my NE-style IPA fix. Both are a boon to Sacramento's ever-growing beer scene. I'd love to do a side-by-side between the two some day, because I'm not so sure they're that far off. Both are amazing.
