Initial Review 4/22/22 was deleted
My review 6/12/22 (12w from canning):
Appearance: Pours a completely opaque (5% clarity) medium orange color with a large white head. SRM of 7. Maybe the most hazy IPA I've seen. (5.00)
Aroma: Moderate aromas of pineapple, passionfruit, some citrus. Light citrus flower underneath. (4.25)
Flavor: Strong flavors of pineapple, citrus, citrus flower. A citrus flower and some underripened pineapple. Citrus flower gives it a slight bite and crispiness to the IPA. (4.25)
Feel: Medium-bodied. Well-carbonated. Finish is juicy, yet crisp while going down smooth. (4.25)
Compared to Equillibrium Strata Points 6/12/22: Pours a similar color, milder aromas. More citrus and pineapple. Less guava, papaya, mango, and peach. Lighter and more crisp.
Overall: Unfortunately, my initial review was deleted on this one. I drank it a month out and it was an absolute killer. Fantastic pineapple and citrus flower flavors here while also being smooth. Now at over 3 months out, it still drinks well with the flavor, but not quite as smooth. But initially I remember it being incredibly smooth. Nails the pineapple and citrus flower juiciness here. Still at 3 months out this is fantastic haze. Probably my favorite NEIPA from them of the season. (Rating: 4.37, but may be even better fresh)

Just another hazy, juicy IPA. This one really has strong citrus aroma and flavor. Not a lot of depth or complexity. Light hop burn in the throat as I work my way through this beer. Not too sweet. Nice body and carbonation.

Canned 3/22/22; drank 3/27/22 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque dull orange/yellow appearance.
A violent pour yielded a huge off-white head; thick, frothy tree-rung lace.
Sweet orange citrus & faint dry grass notes in the nose.
Soft, medium mouthfeel.
Marmalade, dry grass & faint booze heat.
Fruit forward, slightly sweet and enjoyable. I like this one!
