Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a very hazy orange-juice color with a tall head of off-white foam. The head has a good level of retention, fading over time and leaving a moderate sum of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is heavy of a herbal hop smell mixed with notes of tangerine, orange, pineapple, and mango. Other aromas of peach and apricot as well as notes of rock candy and a light pepper spice are there as well.
Taste - The taste begins with a bready and slightly doughy malt flavor paired with some orange and tangerine sweetness. There is also a little bit of pineapple and mango along with a hint of apricot and peach. Just like in the nose there is a good deal of herbal hop mixed with a touch of earthiness. As the taste advances the hop gets more intense while the sweet fades a bit, in the end, with a touch of hay and paper, one is left with a rather creamy and decently dank hopped up taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – the body is slightly heavier for a 5.8 % brew with a moderate carbonation level. For the style the feel is pretty nice and makes for an easy sipper.
Overall – A pretty decent easy drinking NEIPA at a moderate abv. Fun to try.

Otherwise all is above average.
a) cloudy unfiltered grapefruit body, sports 1 inche bright white sturdy head and lots of lace.
s & t) Lemon, grapefruit, apricot, caramel malt, white pepper.
f) Fine drying.
o) Above Average.

Cloudy, dirty gold to amber color. Little head that settles quickly to fine rim bubbles. Nearly no lacing.

Pleasant blend of spicy and bouquet-like hops to the nose. There's some earthiness smells as well. The malt is way in the back.

Very brief pale malt start providing a touch of sweetness. All of this is overrun by the strong black pepper bitterness and lighter alcohol. Neutral body with a fine-bubbled moderately spritzy carbonation. Bitter finish with a bit of apricot juice. Moderate length aftertaste.

This is a nice nice beer!

Pours a nice orange/yellow hazy orange juice look. Very juice smell, hints of citrus and grape fruit. Minimal piny and floral notes.

Tastes like it smells..strong citrus grapefoot taste on the tongue with a suble pine and strong grapefruit taste on the back/sides of the tongue.

Wrapped up with a suble taste of that classic flying squirrel malt.

Great hazy IPA for those wetting their feet.

Pours a murky, lemon yellow color with a minimal head. Aroma is rather non-descript and not particularly enticing. Taste is pleasantly hoppy, a little dank and enough of a malt backbone to hold it all together. Overall - nothing earth shattering here, but it's a pretty solid brew and enjoyable. It's worth a try, just don't be expecting best in class.
