Canned 3/26/24. Drank 4/16/24
Pour is an opaque golden yellow with a cap of chalk white foam. decent retention. good lacing.
Nose is dank, pine, citrus
Taste is dank, pine, subtle coconut (but not in a sweet, off putting way), tropical fruit, citrus, melon, watermelon (weirdly enough???). Low/Moderate bitterness. Could use more, in my opinion, but doesn't get too sweet like many NEIPAs tend to. So I cant complain too much.
smooth pillowy mouthfeel you'd expect from a NEIPA

Classic tropical hoppy on the aromatics. Taste follows the nose with a grapefruit/citrus bite on the swallow that lingers with a slight aftertaste that hangs around a bit. This has good depth for single IPA.

Canned 03/28/18, ‘BLEED BLUE’.
Pours a completely opaque juicy orange, thin bubble head and hardly any retention.
Lots of sweet citrus on the nose, and a surprising amount of booziness as well. Getting a good level of tropical fruit too. Really nice aromas.
More of the same as on the nose. Sweet citrus, malt, and more hints of booze. Flavors are a bit subtle but have great balance.
Body is great. Creamy, juicy, very low, soft carb. Slightly sticky finish.

Really good single IPA. Hazy, good smell to it, but it's not a double IPA which people forget when they think it's got a lesser flavor and smell than their DIPAs. For an IPA, it's extremely good and smooth. Velvety.

16 oz. can dated 09/12/17
Pours cloudy hazy opaque gold with a creamy frothy white foam head. Smells like lavender, cedar, orange citrus, grapefruit, stone fruit, peach, apricot, mango, pineapple, creamy caramelized crackery malt, with dank floral resinous earthy herbal grassy pine. Tastes like tart orange citrus, grapefruit, lavender, cedar wood, passionfruit, pineapple, mango, some stone fruit, peach, apricot, caramelized toasty bready crackery malt, with dank floral resinous earthy herbal grassy pine. Feels medium bodied, creamy and smooth with moderate carbonation. Overall a really nice IPA.
