This World Is Not Real
The Veil Brewing Co. - Production Brewery

Hazy light orange gold pour with thin lacing and very little carbonation. Light papaya aroma with a small amount of spice. Papaya, delicate grape skin, and ends on the sweeter side with low bitter on the back side. Medium body with light prickly carbonation. Decent, not a favorite, but decent.

The beer pours a nice whitehead that dissipates quickly while the beer itself is a cloudy yellow with a little bit of orange to it.

The smell is bitter and slightly dank. The main note is a strong grassy pine smell with some grapefruit coming up from underneath it all. There is also some orange rind as well.

The taste is just a bitter and delicious as the smell. The grassy pine note comes upfront and mixed with some grapefruit that comes out immediately after. The beer finishes with a delicious grapefruit rind.

The feel is good. It has a heavy body with a little carbonation to it and a dry finish.

Overall, a pretty good beer and good NEIPA as well.
