Stunner. Somehow it maintains balance through its supersaturated sweet thick juicebomb journey, built on and made possible by the success and balance of OG rare trait, married with incredibly skilled doubling of that base w/ ddh.

Dappled lacy curtains of foam hang onto the glass sip by sip. A stout ring sticks around well. Delicious, delicate, jammy tropical and red fruit and funky zippy allium dankness explode. Pine and crispy malt weave in and out for relief. Thick, rich, full, electrified by prickly, tight carbonation. Massive, surprisingly clean, dry, bitter, and tidy finish but with aromatics blooming for days. Havent found something like this since living near Cloudburst in seattle WA with their freshly tapped insane hop excursions. Truly rare quality. World Class.

On tap. White head. Lace. Hazy burnt orange color.

Rare trait on steroids. Very similar to the base beer in all aspects but amplified, mango, orange, papaya. Tropical and juicy. Soft, great feel.

Look: hazy HAZE, slight yellower orange juice color
Smell: fruity citrus! Tangerine
Taste: juicy deipa goodness!! Ctirsu fruit juice. the taste along with the color made me expect pulp haha. The hop at the end reminds you it's a beer. Specifically that citrus pithe/find hop flavor. After the juice hits, it lingers then your tongue gets a gentle squeeze of citrus tart before finishing with the lingering citrus hop find flavor.
Feel: full, like that of orange juice (I think we are seeing a theme
Overall: Yes. Please. THIS is what I'm hoping to get every time I get a n/deipa! Only downside for me is that the juiciness is a full generalized juiciness. For me, there aren't specific notes or peppering's of other notes that stick out (they are there, but don't jump out). But hey, it's a juice bomb, and it delivers on that!

14lb per barrel of Citra, El Dorado, Azacca, and Mosaic. Big nose full of juicy hops, citrus melange and a bit of green dankness dominate with a touch of tropicality and stone fruit. Taste follows with orange, clementine, and hop resin of particular note. Bitterness is there but very tame—good balance. Feel is a taaad lighter than your average big DDH NEIPA which helps make this super drinkable. Great offering and really well balanced for the amount of hops
