Poured from a tallboy can into a Dogfish Head tulip
L: Super hazy juice bomb. Thick foamy white head leaves great lacing.
S: Tropical/citrus hops. NEIPA all the way.
T/F: Big and fruity... tropical pineapple and mango... grapefruit and tangerine... basically a big citrus juice blend. Sticky on the tongue.. modest bitterness. ABV present but hidden.
O: Another big juice bomb from Hubbard's Cave. Their entire 'V' series is fantastic if a bit hard to differentiate between.

Dirty yellow/orange/brown tones, mild head and lacing. Smell is ripe melon, slight tangy citrus. Taste is juice, very citrusy but not tangy or overbearing. Mild, smooth, mouthfilling. Really tasty.

L - brownish yellow. Darker than the rest of the Fresh IIPA series. Not super appealing.
S - fresh. almost sweet. citrusy.
T- Lots of citrus. Smooth with a bitter hop end that lingers.
F - Somewhat a chalky/paste ending.
O - Not my favorite of the Fresh series but still very good.

Canned 8/8/18; drank 8/10/18 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque orange/yellow appearance.
A rough pour yielded a nice off-white head; frothy lace.
Banana, tangerine peel & mild dry wheat notes in the nose.
Soft, medium mouthfeel.
Banana & tangerine peel flavors up front; mild dry wheat & faint booze heat notes on the finish.
Almost a Belgian yeast vibe here, but overall pleasant.
