No canning date
Appearance: Pours a completely hazy (5% clarity) medium but bright yellow color with a strong white head. SRM of 6. (4.25)
Aroma: Strong of orange, tropical, melon, smooth, tropical berries. (4.25)
Flavor: Strong flavors of orange come up, tropical melon, green berries. Some berry flower and brightness underneath. Juicy and lean sweet. (4.25)
Feel: Medium body, strong, carnation, juicy, and lean sweet, but a bright finish. (4.00)
Compared to Angry Chair Tampa Native 4/25: Pours identical. Similar aromas. Less orange citrus zest, citrus flower, pineapple. More tropical melon, sweet berries.
to BlackStack DDH Loud Pack 5/25: Pours darker, similar aromas. More dry peach and mango skins. Less pineapple and passionfruit. Drier and more refined.
Overall: Citra and Mosaic here. Very similar to Tampa Native, but the Mosaic is noticeable. Similar, but more tropical green melon and sweet berries. Still bright from the Citra to not make it too dense or sweet. Near perfect balance of Citra and Mosaic here. (Rating: 4.23)

Delicious double. One of their flagship IPAs
I just had this on tap at the brewery so updated this.
Absolutely delicious! Strong grapefruit notes added to the tropical dankness that didn’t come through in can.

Look: It pours hazy yellow with a white head. It has excellent head retention.
Smell: There are some resiny aromas with mango and peach. There are some like melon notes in the background.
Taste: There are resinous flavors with some mango, citrus, and grapefruit. There are some melon notes in the background with hints of peach.
Feel: It has a medium full body with a slightly sweet finish.
Overall, a well done combination of hop flavors that are bold and work well together without the harshness that some hazy's bring with overbearing resionous elements.

From a 16oz can, undated. Purchased at the brewery 03/12/22. Served in an IPA glass.
Pours an opaque, thick-appearing, dull pineapple-gold with two-plus fingers of soft, pouffy, lather-like suds. Retention is excellent, leaving a heavy foam insulation-like cap and a tattered curtain of lacing.
Nose is thick and musky. Aromas of peach, apricot and sweat. Frankly, the beer smells like it just got laid.
Taste is in line with the nose, musky and super-dank. Tasting peach, pineapple, papaya, ripe melon and bhang water. Low but not totally lacking in bitterness, doughy with a slightly acidic but otherwise clean finish.
Feel is fluffy, medium-plus bodied with abundant fine, prickly carbonation.
Overall, this is the real deal. Definitely the dankest, most outrageously over-the-top, unsubtle and heavily hopped NEDIPA I’ve run across outside of the northeast. Heavy as fuck on the palate but there’s no sense of the 8% abv and I can’t stop going back for more sips - thank god I only got the one four-pack or it’d kill me.
