Starts with our signature marshmallow mouthfeel and heavy oat malt base. Brewed with a heavy hand of Citra, Freestyle Nelson Bliss, and Nelson Hyperboost. Ridiculously opaque with notes of Clear Gummy Bears, Tepache, Chronic from 2001, and finishes with Brûlée’d Mango and Pommelo ICEE.

Fully opaque oj orange with a tall but bubbly off-white head.

Orange liqueur and lemon meringue come gassy af, but not exceeding the speed limit into green. Though it is a hint minty, it's not biting, apart from the tempered booze. Mango, lime and gin also make appearances within the fluffy but medium body.

Honestly, despite the heat, it's quite delicious. I normally don't prefer super high ABV haze, but here it's impressive enough to warrant a bump.

From the Untappd Top-Rated Box (Batch 4). Poured from a pint can with a date stamp I couldn’t decipher into a BA Big Beers glass.

Look: Pineapple-grapefruit juice, with a 1” white head that dissipated pretty rapidly and left very light lacing.

Nose: Grapefruit, mango, a hint of pineapple, and a hint of pine.

Taste: The attack starts out rather plain, then a sweetness develops — the gummy bears in the description? — then continues even sweeter, and finishes as a hop bomb.

Mouthfeel: Medium, well-carbonated.

Overall: While IPA’s aren’t my go-to beers, I’ve certainly had NEIPA’s I’ve enjoyed. The balance in this one is not well integrated, rather there’s not much of anything at the beginning, then it goes from too sweet in the middle to too hoppy at the end. I actually could only drink 3/4 of it, and drain-poured the rest.

5 oz draft pour at Chessie's Wharf in Annapolis. This is just too much. I love super hoppy juice bombs, but this is aggressively raw and green/vegetal hop juice. Not for me. It smells good, but goes down harsh.

Sweet tropical hoppy, slightly malty, prominent Nelson white wine grape, mandarin-orange citrus, and a Nelson-dank nose on this one! Yum! Great aromatics here! Taste follows exactly with a Nelson dominant, murky-soft and creamy swallow. Whoa! What is going on with RAR brewing?!?! They are making themselves known in the haze game! This is outstanding!
