Pours a clear gold with slow effervescence and three fingers of airy, off-white head. Clumpy lacing. Melon, a hint of overripe citrus and white pepper in the nose. Similar tasting with a little dull piney bitterness. Slight syrupy impression in the feel, no doubt aided by the overripe fruit taste. Strong carbonation. Drinkable, but not my favorite flavor combination.

16 oz can poured into pint glass.
Yellow with a faint haze appearance, miniscule amount of white head.
Smells floral and fruity/melony
Taste is of sweet pineapple, melon, a touch grassy/straw, with a slightly bitter finish.
Medium body, good mouth feel, low carbonation.
Overall, for me this stands out for its floral/lavender notes, some grassy/straw flavor, and a bit more bitterness compared to most of the NEIPAs I have been tasting.

Cloudy honey color with a 4F head in a Spiegelau IPA glass.
Aroma: very piney, and floral.
Light citrus, mostly resinous pine taste.
Excellent finish: very spicy, hoppy, and dry.
Another excellent beer from this newer brewery.

16oz can dated 1/3/17.
Pours cloudy gold with a fluffy head of white, nice retention, and spongy lacework. Zesty and tropical in the nose with pear, melon, grapefruit, pine, and a hint of coriander. Medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. Bright citrus and pine on the palate with zero malt and minimal bitterness. Lime-rubbed grapefruit with undertones of orange and cut grass. Finishes with plenty of spicy, citrusy hops and quite dry.
Nice beer and an interesting combo of hops.
