Enjoyable NEIPA. Nice color and feel. Not overly citrusy but good flavor and aroma. Easy to drink.

Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass. Looks like canned June 7th 2022. Pushing it here a little.

Pale green and light yellow, almost like a green straw color interestingly. Classic foamed thick white cap of easy four fingers, and lots of lacing. Quite fun and fine bubbles making it look real neat, with an island top and lots of clinging rings.

Aroma still delivers. Soft hits of light earth and a real nice malt depth too. Flirts with grass and tropical but has an almost cake like sweetness for contrast in the mix. There's a hint of density here as well with a big bakery quality.

Interesting palate. Slightly juiced up angle that comes off hinting earth and almost a woody pine. Real neat vanilla sweetness coming off of this as well which is a nice contrast. Light touches of soft lemon and pineapple, hints of cake like sweetness.

Really dig this, even with some fade.

A: The beer is very hazy and pale yellow in color. It poured with a half finger high dense white head that gradually died down, leaving a thin collar around the edge and lots of lacy rings of bubbles down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of peach and white grape are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional floral, spicy and woody flavors. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and somewhat juicy on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This NEIPA seems a bit more delicate compared to other beers in the style but does a very good job at showcasing the Crystal hops.
