I got a can of this beer from my good friend and old neighbor from the 'Wego. It poured a hazy orangish with white head that is leaving some nice lace. The scent had mellow orange peel notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with Raspberry and apricot base and subtle strawberry and orange finish. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

Peach coloured body in that form everyone loves these days. Massive soapy off white head. Good retention and lacing.
Nose is muted overripe fruit. Nothing really jumps out. Some smashed starfruit and mango.
Fairly nondescript here follows a lot of the same notes. Muted tropical fruits with a nice citrus bitter finish. It's actually growing on me the further down the glass I get. No one flavour really jumps out and claims ownership, it's more a soft melange of pulpy fruits and a nice balancing bitterness.
Drier thinner body, with aggressive carbonation.
Much appreciation to @FlintB for continuing his NBS BIF#007 bombardment including this one. Thanks Brian!

Released 4/7/18; drank 4/23/18 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque dull orange rust appearance.
A violent pour yielded a nice eggshell head; strong, frothy tree-rung lace.
Caramel, honeyed grain, honeydew melon & peanut butter notes in the nose. Messy & off-putting...
Creamy medium mouthfeel.
Peanut butter & honeydew melon flavors up front; faint peach notes on the finish.
Just an odd, ugly amalgam...if this is a NE IPA then I'm a Finnish supermodel. (I am not a Finnish supermodel)

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on April 15, 2018. Double dry-hopped with Citra, El Dorado, Amarillo, Mandarina and Motueka hops. Very good.

A: White head, burnt orange and hazy
S: Pine, floral, sweet malt, pineapple, hint of orange, tangerine
T: Bready malt, light pine bitterness, resin, floral, green hop
M: Light and slightly fluffy
O: The can label art is great! It is hard to tell that this beer is double dry hopped due to the nice malt balance. I wouldn't get again with Cromulent and Juice is Loose out there
