Looks pretty damn good to fit the style. Paint like light yellow, opaque with a frothy off white creamy and foamy cap.
Smells a bit vegetal and oniony with undertones of tropical fruit and burnt rubber.
Mango and orange juice dominate the flavor, and a vanilla yogurt finish the sweet before the slightly piney finish comes through.
The feel is great. Thick, rich, and creamy. A slight carbonation tickles the tongue and a balance eventually submits to a favorable bitterness.
A pretty darn good NEIPA from the Southern California shores (nearly). I'd buy it over and over again, especially with a name like that. Cheers!

Look is hazy light
Smell is mangoes
Taste hoppy juice with a tiny sweet backbone.
Overall it's good but the finish is just lacking

Poured from 16oz can into Snifter glass. Date of September 8th, not sure if that is the freshness date or canning date.
L: Pours a hazy golden yellow with a finger of white head that has decent retention and leaves a thick ring and thin layer atop of bubbles.
S: Smells of a lot of hops, citrus, fruit, slight herbal and pine. Quite complex.
T: A lot of citrusy and fruity hops with some lingering herbal notes.
F: Super smooth and creamy mouthfeel of medium body and below average carbonation.
O: Solid beer overall.

Honestly one of the best Socal NEIPAs i've tasted.
L: Pours slightly opaque, yellow slightly slightly orange.
S: Real smooth hoppiness. Melon citrus
T: Floral and hoppy, low bitterness. Carbonation is correctly dialed in for this one.
F: Smooth and easy drinking for 8%. Goes down a little too easy, not boozy at all.
O: Better than Monkish.

Poured from a 16 oz. can.
N.E. style IIPA, with Nelson, Vic Secret, and Mosaic hops. Great nose, excellent taste, and even better mouthfeel, thanks in part to the addition of flaked oats in the mash bill. Super juicy with a hint of melon and dankness. Total liquid gold (without the hassle of long lines, wristbands, or crashed websites). Yay Artifex!
