16oz single can poured into a stemless wine glass.
Deep cloudy orange color with 3 fingers of head that sticks around for quite a while. Nice lacing.
Citrus and faint melon on the nose and palate. Starts off a bit sweet but the hops help balance.
Mouthfeel is soft with medium carbonation.
A good beer but kinda gets lost in the over saturated NEIPA market. Worth a shot if you come across it.

Pours a golden yellow color with a foamy white head that lasts quite a while. Aromas of citrus and grapefruit. Sweetness from honey, strong flavor from grapefruit and citrus fruits. Creamy with a dry finish.

Poured a beautiful cloudy orange into a pint glass. Notes of citrus and hops exploded in my mouth with the first sip! This is a well-made NEIPA from Roak Brewing!

I tried this at the brewery. It poured a hazy orangish with white head that left some lace. The scent had ripe fruit appeal. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with sweet ripe fruit base. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall its a solid beer.

L - 3-finger dense white head atop a gorgeous orange body.
S - grapefruit, pine, cotton candy. A classic nose.
T - sugar-crusted grapefruit, pine, cotton candy, orange, a little earthy, a little herb. No one element dominates. Low bitterness. Moderate sweetness. Low booziness.
F - medium-full body with average carb.
O - a sleeper hit, this one. Just a tinge less sweetness and this would be perfect.
