Received a can from a friend on 2-21-22. No canning date but it sold out quickly at The Blue Door Bottleshop; consumed 2-22-22.

Beer poured a hazy orange with a very nice white head.

Nose is very nice, full of tropical fruits and citrus.

Taste is spot on with a large but light malt base that displays a dynamic hop burst of orange, mango, lemon, and lychee. Finishes with a very nice rind hop bite; 6/10 on my bitterness scale.

Mouthfeel is very light bodied and extremely refreshing.

Overall an excellent NEIPA!

Really pleasing nose, prominent notes of fresh, ripe, sweet oranges
Taste follows the nose, bright and juicy.
Full bodied, a bit chewy.

Quite a standout

Pale orange, light fluffy head and lacing. Dank and citrusy scents. Taste is not as strong but also dank snd citrusy. Slight bitter undercurrent. Medium bodied, mouth watering finish, subtle booziness, easy sipper. Good, but I like the Triple Orange Starfish a bit more.

A Tavour Treat. Pours a gold-yellow color with a minimal head that lasts quite a while. Aroma of grapefuit and citrus. Taste is tangy and slightly sweet grapefuit. Not as bitter as other NEIPAs. A very good brew

It pours from a pint can until it's emptied into a clear glass liter mug. It has that modern DIPA look, stark white head and cloudy straw-amber color. Thankfully, it's an actual head, not a foamy wheat infused mess. The aroma is good, too. It's more oaty than barley malt and the hopping seems to have a muted citrus reference. The body is good, not great, but much better than most that displace barley malt with other starches. The taste is an enjoyable combination of citrus and earthy, well buffered by the oats, but in great balance. There's no glass lacing, but that doesn’t matter much. There’s only a mild alcohol hit. At 8.3 % ABV, that can't be a detriment. This is good enough that even those those that treasure barley malt in their IPAs might not miss it.

Look: Soft orange, almost like fanta or tang with that artificial orange juice color. Thin, white foam that clung to the glass.
Smell: Fresh peeled tangerines, a little vanilla
Taste: Lots of juicy notes with almost no hop bite. Malty and sweet like candy.
Feel: Very soft mouthfeel, no acidity
Overall: Very tasty, easy drinking DIPA. Something to be crushed and/or savored depending on the mood.

8/27/22 On tap at PA Market on the Strip in Pittsburgh. Very little nose...very slight orange with malt and milk sugars. First taste is saline and a bite on the sides of the tongue. It ends dank and orangy. A Very good, solid DIPA, but didn't think it worthy of a 98.
