canned 4/16/2023

 

Hazy cloudy yellow straw, white head that falls fast, but nice whispy lacing on the glass. Nose is guava, dank, dried mango, candied raisin, grass, grapefruit rind, lime. Taste is sweet and resinous dank, fruity, citrus peel, Slightly thick on the mouthfeel, a bit boozy, and small bubbles.

 

Poured into a 13 oz Teku glass canned 4/06/23. Pours a very attractive hazy yellow with a finger plus sticky white head that leaves thick streaks of lace, with excellent retention. 4.5

Aroma mango, passionfruit, tangerine, white grape, and apricot. 4.25

Taste follows mango, white grape, passionfruit, tangerine, and apricot. 4.25

Mouthfeel is a little bigger than average, soft carbonation, maybe a little dry, and at 9% easy drinking. 4.25

Overall this is a very nice NEDIPA. Worth a shot for sure. 4.25

 

The deep yellow-orange can pour hosts a thin cap of fine, sticky foam that sets rings upon draughts.
The aroma is intense with tropical fruit and fruit blossoms most prominent.
The the flavor provides a rolling ride of orange, grapefruit, mango, papaya and plum with moderate hop bitterness.
The mouthfeel is very smooth and full.
This is a gem.

Tall can, collaboration with Tripping Animals Brewing.

Full on NEIPA hazed n juiced look, fine bubble cap, film, ringed sheeting and fine lacing, splattered all up and down the glass....nice looking offering.

The expected tropical melange on the sniff...enticing.

On the palate its soft, ripe and smooth mango, kiwi, stone fruits, melon and general fruity goodness.

High quality all the way...go get some

Pours a medium yellow color, ample foamy head. Nice citrusy aroma with some sweetness. Flavor is citrus: orange, lemon. Very sweet and creamy - like an orange creamsicle. Carbonation is appropriate. Overall a very good DIPA, quite sweet.

Can from the brewery in Queens during 2020 COVID pause. Pours a murky peachy orange with fluffy white head, smell is ripe mango, papaya, and orange zest, hints of dank spice, taste follows the nose with citrusy tropical melon nectar, peach creamsicle, and orange hard candy, finishes with a mild semi acidic bitterness, feel is full bodied and creamy with a little spiciness. Very much a cat beer, fluffy, sweet and complex with an edge that leaves you wanting more.
