Copenhagen 29/6 2020. 47,3 cl can from Best of Beers web-shop. Drawing of a very colorful Bull crashing the party on the can.
Pours murky, slightly dirty, golden yellow with a small white head. Settles as thin, almost transparent layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. No lacing.
Aroma is intense with strong sweet odor of exotic fruit with hints of fermentation and decay. Peach and mango. Acerbic notes of grape fruit and lime.
Medium carbonation. Soft, smooth, medium thick and lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is intense with a light sweetness and a strong, acerbic and citric bitterness. Aftertaste is citric and bitter. Lingers for a while. Finish is dry without going to extremes.
Nice juicy NEIPA with decent citric bite.

Cloudy yellowish brew with lots of long lasting foam in the New Belgium snifter. This is a New England IPA complete with the acidity and gunky "throat-feel." Quite lush with carbonation and the cranked up fruitiness. Flavors of lemon and mango before the yeasty sludge feeling.
Endless citrus taste with the bitter, acrid peel in the aftertaste. Harsh in the back of the throat. Not one I want to have again, but it's certianly a classic of the NE style. From the undated 16 oz can purchased from City Beer Store.

Beer is powerful and tasty. The grapefruit and lime flavors mesh well with some spice. The medium body makes it very easy to sip.

Pours light orange, whiter base. Nice foamy retentive head, and thin sticky lacing. Aroma is heavy on the citrus, mild on tropical (muted) and pine. Taste is citrus, earthy and a bit on the bitter side. MF is medium, and carbonated.

L: True hazy translucence. Orange-peach hue. Nearly four fingers of ivory froth. Lace on the glass sticks indefinitely.
S: Muted aromas of plum flesh (no sour skin), booze and mineral qualities.
T: Mellow but also moderately bitter grapes and unripened strawberries. I did not personally find any diacetyl here.
F: Medium-thin, well carbonated and mostly dry. I like the feel here.
O: Crushable though less flavorful.

Kind of tangerine and orange flavor. Low ABV makes this cloudy neipa a winner. Only had one can from my local bottle shop but was well worth it. Would love to have more. LIC is solid

Cloudy citrus smoke liquid. Froth. Tangerine, papaya, lemon, mango, grass, cream in the nose. All of the above in the taste but with added layers of sorbet cheesecake and hop bitterness and spice. Thick. Real good if you’re in the mood for a NE IPA.
