Double dry-hopped IPA with Citra, Mosaic, Motueka, and Simcoe. Tastes like fruit snacks, gushers, and pineapple. A unique, cool, soft crusher.

Appearance: Pours with three fingers billowing over the cloudy goldenstraw liquid; excellent retention and clumpy lacing
Smell: Floral aromatics with pineapple, mango, passionfruit and lime
Taste: Pineapple, passionfruit and lime forward with the mango emerging; moderate bitterness though the finish leans sweet
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: A pleasant NE IPA - very tropical and edging in a sweeter direction

Taster at the Circuit. Hazy golden pour, thin creamy white head. Fruity aroma with some citrus zest. Taste is light and fruity, gentle citrus. Super smooth and easy to drink.

Pours a pale softer yellow hazy of course smaller white head with spotty lace.
Aroma is soft and sweet tropical fruits pineapple, mandarins, clover. Smells fruit smoothie more so the soft sweetness then the fruit.
Taste is soft and smooth good sweet body nice pleasant feel to it. Surprisingly it has a bitterness kick to it pine notes with citrus rind hints make me like it more then I would otherwise. While the finish isn't overly bitter it does let you know your drinking an IPA.
Mouthfeel is medium but very smooth and soft.
Overall would have again fairly enjoyable brew.

Had one pour at the brewery. That pour had a creamy head that left thick lace down the rim. The color was a yellowish grapefruit color.
I bought 4 cans but the pour did not create much foam at all which quickly dissipated.
It has an oat smell more so than fruit.
It has a sort of bitter taste more in line with west coast IPA even though this is clearly Double hopped NEIPA. It is thick and hazy. Leaves a nice finish on the pallet.
I think this is a nice compromise between West and East coast styles even though you can’t tell by the looks of it.

Fresh 4-pack from the brewery. Pours a hazy dull peach color with medium head that leaves nice lace and a film over the beer. Nose is powdered sugar, grapefruit, fruity yeast...nice. Taste has got candied oranges, some pineapple, and more tropical notes. Surprisingly delicious burps with this one...even a little pine there. Maybe a touch of sourness late that clashes a bit. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy without being flat. Overall, damn good and a nice example of what Veil is doing these days.

F - medium body with slightly lower than average carb.
O - a tad out of balance, but really dig the tropical flavors they coaxed out of these hops.
