Juicy pineapple and orange notes shine through in this cirrus-ly hazy, hoppy delight.

Pours a hazed gold with one finger of beige head. Near zero head retention & lacing
S: Green melon, faint citrus & & wet cereal notes
T: Follows the nose, some dryness & lime notes up front. White grapes, pears, wet cereal notes & dryness, just a little grapefruit as this warms. Grapefruit picks up strength in the finish, along with dryness & a little grassyness
MF: Medium body, moderate carbonation, okay balance
Drinkable, but not memorable, glad I only bought one

12oz bottle. Poured out a hazy, golden orange color with a good-sized, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of grapefruit, orange, pineapple and sweet caramel malt. Nice tart grapefruit taste with pineapple, orange and sweet toasted caramel.

12 oz bottle, best by 4-16-2021, into Pipeworks glass.
Pours a fully opaque fog of gold and pineapple juice color, with a creamy head of 1 finger, receding to a 1/4 finger.
Aroma from the bottle is fresh pineapple, juicy red grapefruit, tangerine, slight grass, and yeast gasses; aroma from the glass is more orange focused with loud notes of tangerines, juicy orange peel and flesh, lemon, and finally some pineapple and grass.
Flavor is a bit grassier than I'd like, but it's still tasty. Juicy and acidic white grapefruit and lemon, followed by oats, flaked wheat, and notes of bitter unripe pineapple, tangerine, yeast farts, and more lemon. This beer is incredibly transparent. Easy to pick out the flavors. The grass is throughout the profile with suggestions of pine.
Feel is creamy, with lots of busy carbonation, a touch of mild heat, and a crisp, drying finish.
Overall, a pretty good hazy IPA. It's not above and beyond, and may not be something I'd be in a rush to visit again, but I'd recommend you try it once.

Pours a pale straw color, almost looks like a lager. Not much on the smell, a bit of sweet maltiness and maybe a hint of tropical hops. Definitely clear that there are fewer bitter, heavily aromatic hops in this one which makes sense for the style. Taste is a big hit of pineapple and mango. Oat/wheat smoothness comes in on the finish. No hop bite at all. Feel is perfect, decent carbonation, but not too fizzy. You can tell there are oats in this brew. Dangerously drinkable, would not guess that this is 7%.
Overall, one of my first NEIPAs, so I don’t know the style super well but in any case this was very good.
