A few different aspects to the nose. Generally, though, an underwhelming NEIPA. More collab hype.

Almost a 4.5 across the board -

Look - nice white head on top of a clear straw gold color. Only thing I would have liked is a little more lace and head lingering, but that's hardly a criticism.

Smell - fruity

Taste - again, fruity, almost like a Juicyfruit gum but also had some stonier fruit presence too. Nice and juicy. Minimal hop bitterness.

Feel - medium, almost chewy.

Overall - a really tasty beer, wish I had more of these!

Hazy bright yellow color with white head. Aroma has milky mango yogurt notes or mango milkshake. Taste is fruity, tropical, slightly lemony, also yeasty and a bit astringent. Medium body and carbonation. Really nice and different flavor profile.

Pours a hazy deep golden amber coloration with a large, frothy head. Smell is juicy and tropical, with light citrus accents: mango, passion fruit, papaya, tangerine. Taste follows the nose, with a good balance of sweet tropical and lsightly zesty citrus notes of mango, passion fruit, papaya and tangerine, with the tropical notes clearly dominating. There's also some biscuity malt and a light, grassy dankness to this, with hints of booze and bubble gum. Finishes quite sweet, with almost no discernible bitterness and sweet tropical notes in the aftertaste. Soft, pillowy mouthfeel with a medium/rich body and medium carbonation.

While this is a bit too sweet for me personally, and I'm not a huge fan of the light bubblegum and booze notes either, this does have a lovely, juicy tropical flavor profile to it, with just a hint of dankness and resin, that works quite well, actually.

 

 

Tap @ BCBF2018 - Pours hazy golden with a medium white foamy head. Nice lacing. Medium carbonation. Aroma - Sweet tropicals and citrus notes - papaya, passion fruit, lemon, light resin, light onion feel. Taste - Sweet hoppy forefront - papaya, mango, grapefruit, light resin, hint of onion, dankiness, medium light bitter finish. Very solid DIPA.
