Canned 11/09/23. Let sit out for five minutes before opening.

Hazy orangey-gold, with half-finger of ivory head, that leaves a thing ring of lacing.

Smells mostly of freshly-cut Valencia orange. There are hints of pineapple, papaya, and unripe peach, with some fresh crackery malt.

Taste is pretty close to aroma, but with the orange a little less predominant, and the peach a bit more apparent, near finish. Moderate bitterness, that lingers awhile.

Feel is medium, and juicy, with slight creaminess in the middle. Light-moderate very,very fine carbonation tingle, that becomes a light burn towards finish. This might be the only indication of a higher abv. Even at 6 weeks, it might need another couple of weeks to hit peak. Slight drying sensation after finish.

Overall, pretty good. At this point , it's nothing unusual , but there is pleasure in a normally good thing , well done, & up to standard. Give it a try. :)

Pours a hazy light orange color with a 1F head and moderate lacing.

Smells of floral, grassy hops with some citrus.

Tastes of orange, grapefruit and pineapple with a lightly bitter, boozy warm finish.

Medium body with light carbonation. Smooth and lightly syrupy mouthfeel.

This is a very drinkable , juicy NEIPA.

Thank you, Dave!! Can poured into Mast Landing pint glass at home. Thick appearance, strong head and flavor. Very good if you want a double.

From a 16oz can, dated 08/08/23. Served in a spiegelau IPA glass.

Pours a hazy, dull orange with a finger-plus of creamy head. Retention is excellent, leaving a solid sheet of sudsy lacing.

Nose is crackery, sharp and fruity. Aromas of pineapple, peach, and orange.

Taste is light, bright and crackery, in line with the nose except maybe just a little boozier than expected. Tasting pineapple, peach, pine resin and orange slice. Finishes with a little fuselly smudge, which is too bad because it’s completely delightful right up until then.

Feel is bright and juicy, medium-light bodied relative to the style and briskly carbonated. Some resin, some stickiness, no warmth.

Overall, a mixed bag, but mostly to the positive. Very nearly flawless excepting that minor, nearly forgivable, greasy fusel note at the end of each sip. The mouthfeel was exceptionally lively for an 8.3% abv beer and was probably worth the price of admittance right there.

In the upper tier of its style. Not top, but upper. You will enjoy if you are looking for a not bitter, not too tropical, more classic NEIPA that goes down easy and kicks! I'll have another. More for an enjoyable quality experience than for a snobby evaluation session, but it does stand up to good ones.

A Tavour Treat Pours a pale yellow color with a foamy head that lasts quite a while. Aroma of grapefuit and citrus fruits. Taste is tangy grapefuit. Only slightly bitter at the finish. An enjoyable brew.

It pours smoothly, all the while emanating tropical fruitiness. It's obviously a hazy, but the picture is a tad dark versus reality - it's lighter visually. Pineapple juice look to it. The head is tight foam, very white, fairly persistent falling to a pretty even cap. Sticks pretty well.

Aroma - while enthusiastic it is actually pretty soft when I stick my nose in. A fair amount of pine-like resin actually comes through the tropical fruits. It's mostly tropical - I'll go mango with a little pineapple, then a slight citrusy orange. Peach eventually exerts itself fairly strongly, but it takes a while. It really says drink me, so...

The flavors lead with the tropical flavors. Mango, maybe some guava, some pineapple, that bit of orange. There's a good dose of resinous flavor, then the peach just kicks ass. The flavor is more substantial than the aroma would suggest. There's a nice bit of pithy bitterness, and a little oily citrus sting. Tasty stuff.

It's smooth, a tad bit chalky on the tongue, moderately carbonated. Very slight alcohol warmth. Actually goes down dangerously smooth at 8.5%...

Overall, digging this one. Well made, if undifferentiated from the crowd. Enjoyable, smoothly integrated flavors, not overdone. My first non-stout from Mast Landing and I am certainly not disappointed
