L: Pours a brilliant hazy orange yellow in appearance, strongly resembling actual juice. It is a deep yellow near orange in color, and quite appetizing I might add. 2 fingers of a bubbly white cap formed on a regular pour and dissipated rapidly. Not much in terms of lacing on the glass, but the overall appearance is satisfying.
S: Smells great. Apricot, mango, peach, lemon, orange, banana and pomegranate are all coming through. I can smell the crackery yeast aroma as well, reaffirming that this is in fact an Alvarado Street brew.
T: Class-A juice bomb. The fruit game is strong, with peach, mango, pineapple, apricot, orange, tangerine, and melon all being detectible. As always, a biscuity yeast presence lies the foundation of the flavor profile, which is something I have grown rather fond of in ASB beers, and they seem to be scaling it back to the point of perfection. The finish is slightly herbal and grassy with hints of lemon, grapefruit, mango and pineapple that carries over to the after taste.
F: Medium in body and medium in weight. Smooth and easy to drink with no booze presence and just the right amount of carbonation.
O: This has to be my favorite Alvarado NEIPA of 2019 thus far. It's juicy and downright delicious. Practically perfection, as far as NEIPAs go. I am very glad to try, and would drink again/recommend. Cheers!

Looks exactly like OJ, big frothy head with solid retention and lots of lacing. Very aromatic citrus/tropical fruits profile. Taste is very juicy with some weedy/grassy hops. Smooth medium feel, low bitterness with a little bit of a zing. Overall another stellar ASB hazy.
