New Holland Brewing Company

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 5/7/2020. Pours very hazy/cloudy deep golden/orange/amber color with a 2 finger dense, creamy, and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas and flavors of big pineapple, tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, apricot, passion fruit, mango, watermelon, red apple, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light caramel/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of pineapple, tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, apricot, passion fruit, mango, watermelon, red apple, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering resin bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready, and fairly sticky/resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol of 9%, or lingering hop burn after the finish. Overall this is an awesome NEDIPA. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish; great soft feel. Awesome Denali, Simcoe and El Dorado profile. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a nice sized bready malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and well made style example as expected of the brewery.

Copper colored with a gratuitous amount of sediment, presumably from dry hopping. There’s an inch of densely packed And creamy off-white to beige on top. Moderate lacing. The aroma is of tropical fruit including melon, lemon, lime, and cantaloupe. I’m tasting lime, lemon, and cantaloupe. The mouth is very smooth and there’s a cooling sensation to the mouth.
