Pours turbid gold with an inch of white head. Persistent retention with plenty of spongy lacing. Big blast of peach, mango, orange in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Ripe and juicy on the palate with minimal malt or bitterness. Mango, peach, hint of guava.
Finishes with minimal malt or bitterness and lingering tropicals.

 

 

 

Poured into a 13 oz Teku glass canned on 5/6/25, it pours a very hazy and attractive orange yellow with a solid finger plus sticky white head that leaves thin streaks of lace with excellent retention. 4.5

Aroma: peach, passionfruit, dragonfruit, tangerine, and apricot - extremely pleasant. 4.5

Taste follows: peach, passionfruit, dragonfruit, tangerine, and apricot - extremely well balanced. 4.75

Mouthfeel is above medium, soft gentle almost creamy carbonation, not sticky or dry, and at 7.8% it drinks bigger in body and flavor, but still extremely approachable. 4.75

Overall another gem from one of the best brewing this style. 4.5

Canned 5/6/2025. Pours an amber orange color and densely hazed. Tropical and citrus fruit on the nose with a similar palate. Pleasantly dank and bitter finish.

Notes via stream of consciousness: A cloudy golden-orange body is capped by a thumb's width of creamy white foam. The aroma is fruity with citrus and other tropical fruits, resinous, and enticing. The taste reveals notes of peach, tangerine, lychee, melon, mango, apricot, grapefruit, pineapple, red apple, and pine in no particular order except for the pine which always appears at the end. In fact, at first I got more tangerine than anything but with my second sip the peach showed up stronger. That other notes went that way as well. There's also a fair amount of hop resin that appears the strongest in the finish. The malt is sweetish with some wheat and oat character, and it's got some bitterness to it but it's really the hop resins, the "hop burn", and some alcohol that dry it in the finish. I like the balance and I think the fruitiness that they've achieved with the hops they've used is fantastic. In the mouth it's medium bodied and crisp then smooth and velvety. All in all this is a great beer for those who love sweet malt and tropical fruits but also want some zing in the end.

This one pours a glowing golden orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like juicy and vibrant pink grapefruit, passionfruit, tangerine, and Goya mango nectar.

I’ve only had maybe 10% of this series, but this feels like one of the better ones. It’s just super sticky, dank, and juicy – with grapefruit and a touch of bitterness, and a sticky, thick hop juiciness that’s Goya nectar coded – mango, passionfruit, and orange/tangerine creamsicle.

This is very thick, but quite drinkable, with a creamy and rich finish.

This is just super high level NE-style IPA, and stands out in a style that’s hard to stand out in.
