EXCELLENT

12 oz can from Tavour. Hazy orange golden pour, small creamy head, sticky lacing. Subtle hoppy aroma. Hops lick it up a notch in the taste, dry , floral and fruity. Body is thick and the malts hold up the hop show ade very well. Tasty stuff.

12 oz can into a pint glass. Very cloudy yellowish-orange color with a rocky white head and lots of visible sediment suspended in the glass (like a beer snow globe). Strong citrus aroma - grapefruit, melon, mango, along with a hint of vanilla. Similar big citrus bomb flavor with flavorful but mellow piney hop bitterness and a smooth, mildly sweet finish. Nicely balanced; the ABV is well-hidden.

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a 12 fl oz can on January 15, 2020. A triple dry-hopped hazy double IPA brewed with Nelson Sauvin, Simcoe and Vic Secret. Notes of mango and ripe melon.

12oz can, dated 01.09.2020, poured into a 14oz snifter glass.

The beer pours a very hazy and turbid copper color, orange hues with a foamy white head that has decent retention with nice spotted and sticky lacing. The aroma is pleasant, strong juicy tropical fruit, lots of melon, mango and pineapple with a nice citrus character and a bright floral bouquet that's balanced nicely by an earthy and dank green hop profile, lots of bitter pine and sticky resin. The flavors are great and echo the nose nicely, lots of bright fruits, big melon character with a nice underlying tropical character that's amply juicy but there is a great bitter and earthy pine flavor, lots of dank green hop leaf, resinous and sticky with a nice sweet yeast finish. The mouthfeel is good, coating and heavy medium body that is smooth but does have a nice lively texture and finishes with a dry and warm bite.

Verdict: A very nice NEIPA from Marz. Massive massive beer, bursting with juicy and tropical flavors that are balanced well by assertive earthiness and piney bitterness.
