From the pint can, it pours a hazy, er milky, straw color with a very nice thick white head that lavishly leaves lacing. The nose gets citrus and lots of it. The mouth follows with orange coming through, with a mild bitterness and plenty of citrusy zing. The mouth feel is smooth, creamy and leaves a mild citrusy aftertaste.

Hazziest of haze from this straw colored brew, Decent white head, choppy lacing.
Smells of the tropics. Tangerines, melon, pineapple. Combined with sugary maltiness, while maintaining a smooth mouthful and smooth lingering hoppy, but low bitterness, finish. Lots of body and bold flavors, that encourages further sips.
The pinnacle of juice bombs - savory, bold, without losing control. Well done, I'll be back.

A - Hazy orange body, huge white head, lots of curtain lacing.
S - Orange, tropical, and herbal notes, a bit of limestone.
T - Pretty much yum. Open of fruit, peach and some orange juice, a bit of savory, and a very mild quiet finish.
M - Clean with brisk carbonation, with soft feel, clean finish.
O - A very fine NEIPA DIPA, quite drinkable, lovely.
