4.05/5 rDev -2.2%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Picked up a 16 oz draft in a mason jar from the Craft Beer Quick Stop in Phoenix on 9-19-2018 for $5.00. Consumed on 9-20-2018.
Beer poured a cloudy golden orange with a nice white head that is leaving some lacing behind.
Nose is a wonderful blend of citrus and tropical hops, very inviting!
Taste is orange and mango forward over a moderate malt base. Finish is a slight touch of orange rind but it is a touch sweet.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and pretty refreshing.
Overall an enjoyable beer which i am not sure how a keg version ended up in Arizona but i am glad i got to try it!

Poured from a tallboy can into a Dogfish Head tulip
L: Hazed golden pour with massive foamy white head. Great retention and lacing.
S: Tropicals and citrus.
T/F: Follows the nose. Light cracked grains and grapefruit forward hops. Pretty standard New England hazed juice bomb. Lighter floral notes and stone fruit. Oily on the tongue... well carbonated and medium to light bodied.
O: An outstanding NEIPA. Great juicy citrus flavor. Easy drinking, and low enough ABV that you won't regret having 2 or 3.

16oz can served in a pint glass. 08/06/18. Gift from @mr-jj.
Pours hazy, light white-bronze. Moderately large head, lots of carbonation. Smell is tropical juicy, very pleasant.
Taste is more of the tropical fruit, maybe a little bit of resin.
Mouthfeel is thick and chewy. Overall, nice.

A: A very hazy yellow with a nice large white head.
S: Tropical fruit and citrus with pineapple and orange.
T: Taste follows suit. Hoppy with sweet orange and pineapple. A touch of oat in the finish perhaps as well as a hint of the garlic flavor I get from simcoe.
M: Medium thick with somewhat lighter carbonation, and a smoothness to it that makes it feel heavier.
O: Overall a pretty decent brew.

Had on tap. I thought this was a great fruit and hop forward ipa without going into the hazy realm. The hops gave that savory spice at the end of the taste, after getting orange, grapefruit, melon, and blackberry. The smell was more standard hops. For a single the feel was excellent, with decent carbonation, hop texture and a thickness that really let the fruit come out

Got in a trade from spelingchampeon. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 5/22/2018. Pours opaquely hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/rind, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that us great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.8%. Overall this is an awesome NEIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Nicely soft mouthfeel, a bit more drying than usual for the style. Feels like Amarillo, Simcoe, Galaxy, and Mosaic hops. Really juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank hop complexity; nice bready malt backbone, but not overly sweet/heavy feeling from lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

Draft poured into a pint glass. Opaque ipa very hazy. Smell is melon and a concoction of bitter hops. Taste is a nice balance of malt and hops. Well balanced. After taste lends a nice malt backbone. Mouthfeel is medium. Overall a very solid unfiltered ipa. Case worthy ipa, could have quite a few of these. Cheers
