Picked up a 16 oz single from Blue Door Bottleshop 3-31-22 for $6.25. No discernable canning date; consumed 5-30-22

Beer poured a chilled golden orange with a nice white head.

Nose has hints of citrus and tropical hops.

Taste is very well crafted. Large but light malt base takes on a skilled blending of gooseberry, mango, grapefruit, and orange with a balancing pine and gooseberry finish; 5/10 on my bitterness scale.

Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied and smooth.

Overall a delightfully flavorful beer without being over the top on the juiciness, well done!

16 ounce can poured into a becher.

Pale gold and translucently hazy, two fingers of solid ,off-white foam, leaves lace. Nose is strong and tropical, tangerine and citrus zest, slight cattiness and alcohol aromas. Tasting mostly citrus and citrus zest with some small bread flour malt. Moderate bitterness with low sweetness, alcohol flavor is strong. The medium body is very smooth and creamy, carbonation is medium, finishes with some heat but no hop burn. Good overall and generally what you would expect for an NE style IPA.

16 oz can into a curved pint glass.

Pours a hazy yellow gold color with a finger of frothy white head. Solid retention. Leaves some nice cobweb lacing.

The aroma brings notes of peaches and mixed berries, as well as some grapefruit, lemon zest, pineapple, and herbal tea. A bit faint but very pleasant.

The flavor is very tropical, bringing notes of mango, melon, cantaloupe
and pineapple juice. There's a faint, tart berry flavor in the middle followed by some grapefruit and peach. Subtly vegetal with a hint of pine. Nicely balanced.

The feel is medium bodied with lower carbonation. Very soft with a dry finish. Alcohol is well-hidden.

Overall, this is a great NEIPA. It has a lot going on flavor wise without tasting muddled. Sweet, but fairly well-balanced.

Medium yellow-orange. It's mostly opaque, but there is some clarity up to about 1 inch. Reasonable amount of fine head that does hang around, although one could hope for a little more lacing.

Smell has a nice acidic grapefruit, not too sweet, either. There's some depth in that scent, too. Sharp pine resin and freshly cut grass. A little pickle juice astringency, but that's actually not detrimental for once. Boilerplate for the type, but again, it's got some depth.

Non-sweet pineapple and lactose in the taste. Definitely savory. Sweet and bitter greens. The depth and dynamism is still there from the nose, but there's an heavier bitterness that defeats a chunk of the sweetness. So, it's pretty good, but I get the sense that there's a lot of room in just the usual bad-to-good distribution (that everything has) that it could be even better than I'm getting.

Medium-heavy weight for the type. Carbonation is really well integrated, and alcohol is far in the background. Aftertaste I'd describe as some sort of gentle grassiness. Obviously very well crafted.

Hazy faded orange with two fingers of white foam. Aromas of peach, grapefruit, papaya, apricot, light passion fruit and lemon with piney hops create a welcoming nose. Taste adds soft honeydew and big mango, hops more bitter yet have a certain airiness on the finish. Elevated feel: juicy, full yet lighter bodied without losing consistency or hop finishing fervor. Another nice one from aslin

Ordered from Tavour, so it’s a bit past prime, but the first can I had was excellent. Very juicy and citrusy, but a slight maltiness and bitterness to help keep it from being a juice bomb. Medium bodied, mouth watering. Tasty, glad I got it.

Hazy deep golden with a big offwhite head, this beer looks nice, let’s give er a try. Really potent tropical nose on this beer A+ nose here. Grapefruit, a bit catty but soft enough in a tasty way. Easy bitterness and slight heat on this beer. Really thick with less carbonation. Wow really excellent brew here.
