Can from the brewery in Queens during the COVID-19 lockdown. Pours hazy light gold with nice head and lacing, smell is coconut, citrus, and maybe light strawberry yogurt?, taste follows the nose with lots of coconut, citrus cotton candy, and a slightly astringent boozy finish, this beer if full bodied and creamy. A very coconut forward milkshake IPA.

Pours a rich honey yellow. Strong melon aromas, with tropical fruit and citrus traces. Tastes extremely sweet, with the melon taste still dominating, and notes of peach, papaya, orange, and lemon. It's a total juice bomb with only faint reminders of the hops, and more acidity than bitterness. The lactose sugar is noticeable throughout; rather than meshing with the other elements of the beer it feels added on and superfluous. But its bursting, juicy profile and luscious, full body make up for this.

Growler shared with Schlimenhaumer. Filled @ LIC today.

Bursts with fresh hop aromatics, yielding lemondrop, floral aromatics, juicy fruit, Odwalla, papaya, honeydew, subdued cantaloupe, and other tropical juicy vibes.

Lactose sugar sweetens up this imperial IPA, helping hide any hop bitterness. Oats keep it smooth without imparting any overt starch. Hop profile is as the aroma indicated, emphasizing juicy Odwalla-like tropical fruit (papaya chief among them, but it finishes on a subtle cantaloupe note).

Smooth, wet, full-bodied, somewhat refreshing, and juicy. Disguises its ABV remarkably well.

Squarely within the India Odwalla Ale corner of this Johnny come lately turbid (I)IPA fad, and enjoyably so. Lacks the hop pungency and boldness/depth of flavour I'd want in an imperial IPA, and I could do without the lactose sugar, but it's surprisingly drinkable for a 9% ABV ale and I'm glad I bought a grumbler fill worth even if it isn't my favourite.

A:Did you ever mix orange juice with ginger ale as a kid? Well, in appearance this beer is a dead ringer: milky, chalky, white grapefruit juice. A true epitome of the hazy NEIPA.

S: Citrus dominates with background notes of tropical fruit. It reminds me of my childhood visits to California and the boxes of oranges my grandfather always got us when we went. Has a sweet, light and uplifting quality like pineapple jolly ranchers. You'd never guess it was 9%.

M: Not exactly bubbly. The carbonation is superfine and it has a semi-dry finish like a mimosa would. Otherwise, the feel is oily and slick. Body is medium.

F: Slightly spicy, but mainly earthy, citrusy and tropical. White pepper, pineapple pop, sour berry warhead, tart tangerine, papaya bubble gum. Pretty dank overall with moderate bitterness.
