On tap at Dewey Beer Co, Dewey Beach, DE.
Pours a hazy and turbid golden beige color. A frothy and foamy head well retains well; there is bubbly lacing throughout.
Juicy sweet aroma that evokes a plethora of candied fruit. It opens with citrusy notes of orange and grapefruit pulp. Then, a burst of tropical fruit, including, mango and pineapple. In addition, I pick up stone fruit such as peach and apricot.
Medium to full bodied with a smooth doughy and bready malt backbone, oats too, forming a soft and creamy pillow for the burst of hops flavors. Opens sweet and juicy and teeming with fruity flavors of orange zest, mango, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, berries, lemon and lime. A developing resiny bitterness helps balance the flavors, while the hops become more piney, slightly drying up the palate while giving the mouthfeel more prickle and the finish an increasingly burning spice. The carbonation is moderate while the overall finish is spicy and dry with a resiny linger.
Solid NEIPA style beer rife with complex hops flavors.

This one pours an extremely murky and basically milky looking sharp yellow, with a small head, and lots of lacing. It doesn't look entirely appealing.
This one smells like rich and ripe grapefruit, pine, lemon, lime, and grassy hops.
This burns a touch, with big piney bitterness on the back end, and a load of grapefruit. There's some pineapple and lime to add a touch of sweetness, though.
This is light bodied, but not super clean, with a bitter and creamy finish.
This might have been better in a week or two, but as it is now, it's solid enough.
