16oz can, thanks to my friend, Ken, for giving me a can to try. Not as hazy as expected, but it's copper in color with a foamy white head. Nice citrusy aroma with some tropical fruit juice. For flavor, tangerine, mango, and guava cover the palate with citrus and tropical hop notes; malt is mild with a caramel and grain presence. Body is full, carbonation is pleasant, finish is moderately bitter and very dry. Overall, it's a nice easy drinking NEIPA. I appreciate that everything I've had from this brewer has been unique.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on February 24, 2019. Look is clear orange gold with a foamy white head. Notes of dank hops, orange citrus, pineapple and guava. Feel is light to medium in body.

Had on tap. An all around decent NEIPA. Pour was a murky, but not hazy, yellowish orange with white foam. Smell featured dank hops, orange, pineapple, and guava. Taste was the flavors of the smell with added melon, grapefruit and lessened hops. Feel was a little thin, but good creamy texture.

Had this on 2017-12-02 at the brewery.
A - Mildly hazy gold with a 1-finger off-white head and great lace.
S - Dank, overly-ripe pineapple, light pine. Big aroma.
T - Pineapple, big hop bud flavor but not too dank, earthy spice, bread crust, pleasantly bitter.
M - Medium body and light-medium carbonation. Sticky and resinous. Nice.
O - Well done. Worth seeking out.
