Thanks Barber.
A very very fluffy white head atop a hazy golden swirl. Fantastic hear retention with sticky lacing.
Smell is a blast of mango, melon, an undertone of sweet orange or tangerine, and some subtle, albeit inviting dank hints.
Flavor follows faithfully. Initially juicy with the tropics, then some sweet citrus, a gentle herbal tang, and then some grainy notes that seem to not just be flavor, but mouthfeel. Pillowy, fluffy. A blissful mouthfeel.
Overall, I want this again, and again. The mouthfeel is the finale of this show.

Canned on an unknown date, as the stamp is one big blur. Poured into a tulip. This is a very good looking beer. Hazy, yet glowing yellow with a wonderful head that just doesn't want to go away. Thick & fluffy with lots of lacing. Smell is nice and juicy. Mango, melon etc. Doesn't smell incredibly different than many other well done NEIPAs, but it's on point for what I would hope / expect it to smell like. Taste is citrusy, tropical, and a little bit of pine. Nice soft & full mouthfeel. This is a well done NEIPA.

16oz can, dated 07.02.2020, poured into a stemless wine glass.

The beer pours a very hazy and turbid golden amber color, orange and honey hues with a nice foamy white head, about two fingers tall with excellent retention and lacing. The aroma is wonderful, super juicy, tons of peaches, mango, orange juice, pineapple, lightly floral, some dank and herby green hop, light pine and spice with a sweet pale dough base and some yeastiness. The flavors are excellent, bursting with tropical punch, loads of mango and pineapple, tangy valencia orange, peach and apricot with a nice wildflower bouquet and sweet pale grains assert themselves in the mid palate before some raw hop spice, pine and grassy candied hop help bitter and balance this beer. The mouthfeel is good, coating, lively and crisp medium body, smooth but with a very dry finish.

Verdict: A great NEIPA from Hop Butcher. Bursting with bright and refreshing tropical flavors and offering a great bitter and earthy counterbalance to keep things in proportion.

Pours a very murky orange with soft, thick head.

Smell is intensely juicy with tropical notes of concentrated orange juice, mango and papaya.

Taste is pure tropical juice, with notes of orange juice, mango, overripe peaches, melon and a hint of red berries. A little bit of sweetness, a little bit of booziness and a soft bitterness with a hint of vanilla on the end.

Mouthfeel is medium, soft, pillowy and chewy with good carbonation.

Overall, a very nice NE DIPA, full on juice.

Pours a dank, murky orange/gold color beer. 1 finger white head. The head retention is excellent. Some lacing on the glass as the head dissipates.
The nose is Very juicy smelling from the hops. Orange, pineapple, mango. Very strong and powerful.
Taste - There's a bit of pine hops up front, it then becomes juicy. The aromas are also the flavors - orange, pineapple, mango.
Decent body, somewhat juicy feeling. The hops linger in my throat.
A solid example of a NEIPA.
