Murky grapefruit juice in color with a thin head that was just about gone when drink got to the table. Grapefruit and pineapple with light pine and hints of bready maltiness to counter.

From a 16 fl. oz. can dated 08/05/21. Sampled Sept 5, 2021.

The NEIPA appearance is right on with its hazy, milky yellow color underneath a soft, lingering ivory head. Opaque.

The aroma begins with a notable melon or cantaloupe sensation followed quickly by grapefruit and other tropical fruits. The soft white bread crust malt base is lower profile.

Medium mouthfeel but eloquently smooth.

The taste is at first sweet and then the tropical fruitiness kicks in moving toward a mild-moderate bitter bite at the end. This is the second Stoneface/Orono collab I have had and they make a great team.

Pints canned 3 weeks ago, 8/5/2021. Can says "Featured hops Vic Secret, Topaz, Amarillo". When I bought it, those hops sounded good, but now that I think about it I realize I wasn't that familiar with them and in fact in this beer they are undistinguished. So in summary, it is a fine beer in all respects but maybe these are not the hops you are looking for, particularly not at $18 per 4 pints.
