Interesting take on the NEIPA in that it seems to be a bit more piney than most usually are - delicious. Nose and taste is Lots of pine, resin, with grapefruit, and mango.

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It smelled of mango, pineapple, grapefruit and sweet caramel. Sweet tropical fruit flavors with some toasted caramel.

A high grapefruit citrus quality in this beer with some lemon lime in there too but too soft a malt presence which leaves the beer a bit watery and not as hops forward as it could be.

16 ounce can - $5.19 at Schoolhouse Beer and Brewing in Marietta, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a heavily hazed, obscured orange-yellow body with a brief, white head.
Smell: Lightly tropical, hinting of passionfruit, some slender, thinned pine accents as well as earthy, grapefruit tones.
Taste: Quick flash of its malty undercarriage, mainly a little touch of French bread and given a nearly equally brief brush of toffee sweetness. Lightly resinous pine, a slight grassiness, tropical fruits and pithy grapefruit eclipse the maltiness and deliver a fair degree of bitterness with a sliver of astringency. Lightly citric, bitterish finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation.
Overall: It's alright, I guess, but, hey, fun can artwork.

Delicious funky hazy ipa- tons of chewy cheese rind flavor, definitely Jekylls best beer to date. Only thing keeping this from being true upper tier is the lack of an understated juicy sweetness in the finish. Well done guys.

Pours a hazy golden yellow with half a finger of white head that didn't last long.
Smells of citrus and some pine.
Taste follows with lots of grapefruit up front followed by lingering resiny pine.
Medium feel with good carbonation levels.
Overall my favorite Jekyll to date, past beers of theirs seemed to have a somewhat diluted flavor but not this one. Good job Jekyll!
