On tap.
Look is opaque hazy gold with a thin white head.
Smells nice, orange juice and a little sweet.
Taste is juicy tangerines, pulp and rind and all. A bit of resin and slight dark bitterness.
Feels good, juicy and smooth, a bit sweet but not overpowering.
Overall tasty!

Pours a turbid pale straw to orange in color with a finger of white head. Aroma is candied citrus and tropical fruit. Taste mirrors the aroma: creamy tropical fruit, candied citrus, and a bit of pine in the solidly bitter finish. Medium, maybe medium+ body and moderate carbonation. Overall this is a pretty tasty beer, it has a lot of the flavor and mouthfeel of a NE IPA but with a solid, perceptible bitterness.

Reminds me a lighter bodied and slightly less hoppier #nofilter from Thomas Hooker. Nice pickup off the shelf here in CT and a delight to drink in the spring. Very hazy body with some tropical and resinous pine notes. Silky smooth mouthfeel. Nice work, Relic.

Pours an opaque mustard yellow with light head that quickly settles into a persistent thin ring. Smell is unique, took a while to put my finger on an analogy before settling on candied tangerine rind and a bit of musty yeast. Taste follows with candied tangerine, a touch of cracker from the malts and a high amount of sweetness. A very faint herbaceous note lingers on the finish with some lingering resin. Carbonation is low and feel became a bit watery as it sat. Overall this is unlike any other NEIPA I've had, it isn't the usual citra and mosiac bomb and hits a very different realm of flavors that I'm struggling to completely articulate. Perhaps a touch too sweet for my taste but definitely worth a buy when it comes around.
