L: Had this beer on-tap at The Answer Brewpub, poured into a taster. Had a bright, golden yellow color and a very cloudy consistency. There was a thin, foamy head that quickly dissipated. Pretty good lacing.

S: A sweet and enticing aroma of citrus fruit, hops, malt, tropical fruit.

T: Tasted of a moderate amount of hops (definitely not overdone), a lot of citrus fruit (grapefruit, to be specific), light malt notes (very fleeting; not a big factor) and a good shot of tropical fruit (mango, passionfruit). This is a light, sweet, and fruity flavor. It's never cloying, but definitely strikes a good bitter / sweet balance.

F: A good amount of carbonation with an effervescent finish. Medium-bodied.

O: A likable, easy to drink beer. Drinkable.

On draft at The Answer

Look: Hazy peach juice with a thin white head.

Smell: Grapefruit zest, sweet malt and light honey with an oaty note. Pine bitter hops as well.

Taste: It’s looks and smells like a NEIPA but has strong west coast bones. There is a pronounced hoppy bitterness here while holding all the notes of a solid NEIPA.

Feel: Clean and not cloying like some of the bigger NEIPAs. Medium bitterness and sweetness. Light plus alcohol.

Overall: A great mix of NEIPA and west coast style. It’s not perfect by any means but it certainly surprised me. A good one.
