Their labeling is unhelpful- but the bottom is stamped "XV King" so I assume batch 15 from the Roman numerals.
16 oz can Dated 1/21/19
Pours opaque hazy orange golden color, thick white head. Good head retention and lacing. Very nice hop aroma - orange, tangerine, mango. Taste is smooth and mildly sweet to start be finishes with a slow build of very mild bitterness for a more balanced finish. Similar flavor as the aroma, very fruity. Soft, Fuller mouthfeel. Overall very good NEIPA for my personal preference.

A - Appearance multilayered in glass with orange juice to light copper from bottom to top
S - Smell of citrus and a slight hint of acidic currant
T - pomegranate sweetness up front followed with a crisp finish of Citra and Simcoe (my god this is good)
F - Vert smooth with zero kick back. It leaves the tip of my tounge tingling with delight.

Canned 16 days ago.
L -- Pours a hazy vibrant shade of orange with three fingers of off-white head produced with moderately aerated pour. Great retention and good lacing
S -- Kiwi, tangerine, green tea, cantaloupe, lime zest, orange creamsicle, watermelon candy, hint of rubber
T -- More woodsy and green than the aromas suggest. Still getting a decent amount of citrus, guava and peach
F -- Medium mouthfeel, medium carb. Finish is more bitter than anticipated, but has a very soft (not quite fluffy) mouthfeel throughout
82/100
