1 Pint can
Served in a nonic pint glass

This beer pours pale yellow and turbid. It is topped with a couple inches of tan head that leaves lacing clinging to the side of the glass.

The aroma is kind of a citrus medley with hints of melon.

Tropical fruit upfront. Melon in the middle followed by a citrus rush focusing on mild grapefruit flavors.

Fuller bodied with a creamy mouthfeel

A very enjoyable beer from OH.

A - Pours a hazy golden orange with a sturdy one finger white head. Heavy amount of soapy lacing.

S - Aroma is pineapple, passionfruit, peach and dank hops.

refreshing hoppy ipa great beer to drink all day

 

Pours a hazy yellow orange color. A moderate foam head retains well and yields lacing.
The nose opens with notes of soft tropical fruit that intensify further in. Notes of mango, papaya, pineapple and passion fruit are complimented by aromas of orange, grapefruit, peach, bready malts and a touch of grass.
Juicy all around with a hops burst of tropical and citrus fruit supported by bready and creamy malts. Zesty notes of grapefruit, orange cream soda, as well as fruity flavors of peach, mango, papaya and pineapple. There is a gentle bitterness, mild peppery alcohol spice and soft grassy and piney flavors that balance it nicely.
Medium to full bodied with a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. The finish is dry with a smooth fruity and herbal hops burn. The carbonation is moderate.
Well made DIPA that is dangerously easy to drink. I would have again.

 

From a growler filled yesterday.

Hazy yellow , with light orange + gray tint . Yes, gray, as with a couple NEIPAs I've had, that used kvass yeast. Not the most appetizing look, but the end result was good, so not turned off by it (much), as I might be if there was no past experience with such things. A little over one finger of long-lasting off-white head, that leaves about 1/2" of thick lacing.

Smell is orange, pineapple, mango, grapefruit rind, and a slight bit of fresh, bready malt.

Taste is moderately bitter peach/pit, creamsicle (creamy orange) , pineapple, and grapefruit.

Feel is juicy and lightly creamy, with light , very,very fine moderately-sharp carbonation prickle. Slightly drying finish.

Overall, very enjoyable, as I've come to expect from OH. Enough bitterness to balance the sweetness of the fruit flavors. Just waht I generally want & expect from an NEIPA.
