On draught at the brewery. Served in a snulip glass. It pours a hazy, bright lemon-orange color with a fluffy, milk-white cap and swirls of lacing. The smell is fruity and fragrant with scents of pineapple, tangerine, lemon, lime, and floral hops. Its taste opens more dank and tart with grapefruit, lemon, and lime. As it warms in the glass there is more tropical sweetness with a sharp, hoppy bitterness throughout. Its mouth feel is fluffy with fairly lively carbonation, and it drinks easily at 6.9% ABV. Overall, Obfuscate is a very tasty, well-balanced American IPA. First rate!

Copper colored with a hazy complexion. There’s an inch of densely packed off white on top. Moderate, soapy lacing. The aroma is of floral to mandarin orange. I’m tasting bitter tangerine, lime, and unripe melon. The mouth is dry and lightly sticky.

Drinking this at The Bond Brothers Brewery East side.
Poured from a tap into a pint glass.
Looks hazy orange with a nice white foamy head that dropped quickly and leaving some nice laclng.
Smells lightly crackery, citrusy lemony vanilla grapefruit.
Taste follows the nose nicely with some resin notes.
Mouth feel is smooth and creamy, "fluffy," according to the brewer.
Overall a very nice and not overly done NEIPA, that is very nice on a hot, 88F Spring day.
Cheers!

Stellar NEIPA from Bond Brothers! Brewed with Amarillo, Centennial, Citra, Simcoe, Azacca., not overly hoppy, but certainly tons of citrus! Super refreshing on a hot summer day!

An orange gold beer with a white head. The head fades slowly and leaves since bands of lacing behind. Weedy orange smell with some fresh cut hop plant aromas. The taste is lightly sweet with pine and citrus. There is a taste of fresh cut weed and a massive bitterness. Pretty solid beer.

Crowler from the taproom.

Hazy yellow-orange color with a thick white layer of foam that leaves sticky sheets of lacing on the glass. Green, dank hoppy aromas...sticky hop pellets, grapefruit, tangerine, and some leafy resinous notes. Tasty flavor full of green hoppy freshness. Grapefruit, floral hops, oily resins, herbs...very fresh. Medium bodied, crisp, and drying. Another tasty IPA from Bond Bros.
