Aroma is fruit/floral, mild sweetness and a hint of funky citrus. The flavor is fruit, mild tropical fruit, malts/grains and a citrus hop/hop resin/slightly soapy finish.

Canned 4/3/23 (1.5 months ago)
Appearance: Pours a completely clouded (5% clarity) light and pale golden yellow color with a strong white head that leaves a lingering lace. SRM of 6. (4.00)
Aroma: Strong aromas of orange citrus, melon, berries and tangerine. (3.75)
Flavor: Strong flavors of lemon citrus upfront. They quickly follow into a tropical melon, sweet berry and grape, cantaloupe, and tangerine sweetness. Juicy and leans sweet on the finish. (4.00)
Feel: Medium to heavier bodied, average carbonation. Juicy, mildly sweet. A lightly bitter bite in Drekker fashion. (4.00)
Compared to Toppling Goliath Haze Bus 5/2023: Pours lighter and hazier, similar head. Milder aromas. More berries and melon. Less orange flower, pineapple, herbal notes. Heavier and sweeter but less flavorful. Winner: TG
Overall: A pretty good NEIPA from Drekker. Same Drekker yeast with the hints of lemon, but some nice tropical berries, grape, melon flavors from the Vic Secret, Mosaic, and Amarillo. A lightly bitter bite from the drying oats and spelt. Clean, lightly bitter. Heavy, but a bite. (Rating: 4.04, but possibly better)

Its hazy yellow, white collapses quickly to a ring with some nice lacing. Aroma of fruit juice, flavor not much better. I just dont see what's the big deal is.

Canned 4/12/22; drank 5/26/22 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque yellow/orange appearance.
A rough pour yielded a big off-white head; a thick curtain of tree-rung lace.
Lemon, pineapple & faint cane sugar notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Dry wheat, lemon & grapefruit flavors.
This smelled better than it tasted; it will do in a pinch, but it's not one to seek out.

Night Machine pours a darker hazy, orangish, yellowish color, with a big, long lasting head. Aroma is sweet, dry fruit. Flavor has a great dry flavor, lots of tropical fruit. Good body and feel. Overall, a simple hazy, with bold flavors.
