Poured from a pint can into a Spieglau glass
Look: Opaque mango juice with a frothy white head.
Smell: Really muted. Melon and grass. All hops. It once again it’s very subtle or muted.
Taste: Honey dew, cantaloupe, pear, green banana notes, and a harsh grassy note. It’s pretty much all hops with a mild honey finish.
Feel: Soft and low carb like the style should be. Medium bitterness and medium alcohol.
Overall: It’s fine. Average for the NEIPA pack.

L: Poured from a tallboy can to a snifter glass. Had a golden yellow color and a very cloudy consistency. There was a half inch of foamy, somewhat long-lasting head. Above average lacing.
S: A very nice aroma of hops, citrus fruit, melon, malt, and tropical fruit.
T: Tasted of a bit of melon (kind of fleeting), a good amount of tropical fruit (passion fruit, in particular), some hops (just enough to make things interesting), a little malt (mostly in the finish), and some citrus fruit as well (orange, in particular, but some lemon as well). A very well-balanced and incredibly focused flavor. Pretty tasty.
F: A decent amount of carbonation with a smooth finish. Medium-bodied.
O: On the whole, a solidly done beer. Worth a look.
