Drekker Brewing Company

Drekker Die To Ride NEIPA, 6.5% ABV. Pours hazy pale yellow with a 3+ finger white head that left some lacing. Aroma is citrus and bubblegum. Taste is citrus and melon, pine in the afterburp. Decent mouthfeel, overall excellent. Looks very similar to the Thrills That Kill I just had.

16oz can. Bottom date stamp reads 'CANNED ON 06/27/24'.
Hazy, pale gold colored body. Fluffy white head is two fingers deep when the beer is poured and this head slowly subsides to a bubbly cap and ring. Leaves behind some short lacing strings.
Aroma has some robust hop smells of orange, pineapple, pine, melon, and berry.
Taste is more subdued than the nose, with the flavors of orange, grapefruit, pine, pineapple, coconut, and berry. Semi-sweet. Pine bitterness exists in the aftertaste.
Medium plus mouthfeel. Crisp because of the bitterness. Has a metallic note. Very good carbonation.
Less sweet than expected but still expressive.
