Seems underrated. It is bright & juicy. Soft bitterness. I would like to have some more of this NEIPA.

Pours a cloudy mauve orange with a finger of foamy head that quickly dissipates to a thin ring with some lacing. Aroma of guava and orange. Taste follows nose.

Pours a hazy gold. Thick foam. Sweet orange aroma. Juicy tropical fruit body. Pineapple and papaya. Fades to a mild bitterness. Silky smooth. Very good.

Cloudy, white-hued dirty gold color. Minor head but it lasts and leaves small streaks and spots.
Mild aroma with a bit of fresh tilled earth. Light floral hop subsequently.
Elevated carbonation to the predictable body and I stopped the comeback for them. The hop is more biting and dominant in the taste. While malt base is present, it takes the back seat. There’s a juicy fruitiness like a NEIPA.

Slightly hazy amber brew with plenty of foam in the chalice. Sprightly on the tongue with the usual sharp acidity. Total fruit flavor with an astringent aftertaste. Tastes of orange with lemon highlights plus some canned peaches. Quite bitter and very sharp. Moderately murky taste but better than average for a hazy IPA. Yet another NEIPA that just says "Imperial IPA" on the label and no hint of the style. From the 16 oz can dated 04/11/2023.

A: The beer is very hazy and a bit pale yellow in color. It poured with a short white head that quickly settled down, leaving a thin collar around the edge of the glass and lots of lacing down the sides.
S: Moderate aromas of gooseberry and lime are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell but is more rounded out, having additional flavors of stone fruit and hints of mango. Little to no bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels nearly medium-bodied and a bit juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I liked the complexity of the flavors in the taste of this beer.
Serving type: can
