L - very hazy amber, small white head. No lacing

S - dank, overriped mango, rose, bread dough, orange

T - intensely hopped. Maybe so much it remans a sipper. Very fruity and very floral and herbal. Some spiciness, some bready notes

M - low carbonation

O - an interesting profile but so hopped that I could be barely bareable for some

Pours an opaque, medium amber, orange coloration with a small, fizzy head. Intoxicanting, juicy aromas of citrus and tropical fruit in the nose: grapefruit, mango, pineapple, with a hint of lime and also light grassy, herbal notes. Taste is foremost bright, juicy hops, but complemented nicely by light, biscuity, caramel malt. Notes of zesty grapefruit and lime and sweet mango and pineapple, with a certain grassy, herbal, dank character as well. Finishes with a medium/strong bitterness and light hop burn. Sublime, soft, creamy mouthfeel with a rich body and medium carbonation.

The ABV is almost undetectable, except for a light, warming presence in the aftertaste. This is quite possibly the best NEIPA I've ever had, and I had Heady Topper, Haze and Double Citra Daydream. What makes this so amazing to me is that it's not just a straight juice bomb, but also has some malt presence and a considerable bitterness.

Hazy peachy color with just a bit of foam. Aroma is intensely juicy with overripe tropical fruit notes. Taste is sweet and juicy with light dank hop notes like chives. Light dry bitterness on the finish. Medium body and carbonation. Just a bit of warming alcohol.
