4.07/5  rDev +1.2%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
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.

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.
