Poor a hazy orange. Thick foam. Smells like fresh cut grass. Peppery hop body. A little buttery. Earthy bitter finish. Pretty heavy for a spring beer. Pretty complex but it seems to work. Unique so it's worth a try.

Canned 4/7/21 , so 18 days old.
2021 version, @6.9% abv, with Bru-1, Citra and Idaho Gem hops. Let warm for 15 minutes before pouring.
Cloudy yellow, with slight pink tint. Looks like pineapple juice, with a little pink grapefruit added. Slight ivory head, that quickly disappears, leaving a 1/16" ring.
Smells mostly of pineapple juice , with some hints of papaya, passionfruit, lemon, and fresh (sweetish)red grapefruit.
Taste is pineapple, slightly unripe peach, white grape juice, and grapefruit. Mild bitterness.
Feel is medium, juicy, light,fine soft carbonation , with slight hop burn/astringency at the back of the throat. Guessing that will dissipate in time. (If I can hold off drinking the rest of 'em. ;) - Minor thing, really.)
Overall, another run-of-the-mill juicy NEIPA . I.e., it's pretty good. :) I'd guess it will be better in 2-4 weeks (4-6 weeks old). Ymmv.
