Are you part of the “good vibes only” crowd? If not, this beer will take you there! It’s brewed with 2-row and Golden Promise malts, and dry-hopped with Citra, Mosaic, and Amarillo hops. We present to you a clear, juicy-fruit flavored beer with a firm bitter hop finish. Are you vibin’ yet?

5 day old can into imperial tulip.
Nearly clear yellow with 2 fingers of variable density white head with good retention and left mixed lacing. Nose is faint, mostly tropical. Taste is all over the board, some tropical, but plenty of earthy and citrus aspects, these flavors don't especially play well together. Bright crisp feel and finish, which was unexpected for 7% IPA.
This beer is too disconnected for me to repeat.

From the 03/06/20 can release
Appearance - Pours lightly hazy and golden yellow in color with an off-white, near two-finger width head. Fair retention before giving way to a thin, consistent layer of suds, forming thickly into a ring around the edge of the glass. Nice lacing, with broken sheeting, lines and small spotting decorating the glass.
Smell - Prominent mango aroma, with hints of orange, floral character and a fair breadiness sitting beneath.
Taste - Follows the nose. Mango upfront and through to the finish. Hints of orange and pineapple. Faint pine. Malts are hidden, and mostly add a generic 'white bread' sweetness to the mix. Finishes with mango sweetness, mostly.
Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with fair carbonation. Slick, easy drinker with a semi-dry finish.
Overall - Good beer, but not terribly balanced, with mango sweetness really dominating throughout the experience. It's hard to get though one can without wanting something else to cut the sweetness.

1st review on BA. Picked up a 4/6 pack of this (can't member) a few months ago. Wasn't my fave from them, but they make a lotta good stuff. Still good, just not excellent.
Pours yellow, its got a very slight haze, not enough to be hazy ipa, but not as much clarity as one might expect from a west coast ipa. One of those unfiltered commercial tug jobs. Head in the 1/3" range, average retention, small bubbles. Aroma is fruity, leans tropical more than citrus, but not in a huge way, when you read about 3 heavy hitters in the dry hopping department (Citra, Mosaic and Amarillo) you expect some of the greatest hop smells ever, but this wasn't that.
Taste was fairly predictable, for being all aroma hops, it had a normal degree of bitterness one would expect from a beer with a bittering hop. Could have thought Simcoe was here, but its not. But it has that kind of dry bitterness to it. As usual, the malt bill and yeast are as unexpressive (intentionally) and neutral as possible, light and out of the way. I don't regret the purchase, its standard fare for New Glory, which places it above average for hoppy beers in general. Don't really see it as a repeat purchase unless I'm hurting for beer.
