The contents once in a pint can are now being cuddled by a clear glass liter mug. The brew is a hazy amber with ample head and lacing. The aroma is a combination of earthy malt and hops. The taste begins malty enough, but the earthiness isn't part of the deal. The hops are tasty enough without much bitterness at all. This, with no sign of an ABV in excess of 8%. With it, just the right amount of malt sweetness to make a near perfect balance. This is so tasty it's dangerous. One of the few brews that's just consistently above the others in every category. Outstanding, indeed.

16oz canned 10/22 and poured into a NB globe.
A: Beautiful hazy gold with a fluffy white head and excellent rings of lacing left on the glass.
S: Tropical fruit; mango; papaya; grapefruit; banana smoothie; with a soft malt backbone.
T: Starts with some bitterness but its pretty mild; tropical and fruity with a bready and somewhat dry malt backbone.
MF: Medium-bodied and well-rounded as a double IPA.
O: At this age, its drinking just fine, though I wonder if the malt would be held more in-check if this was fresher. Still a very tasty NEIPA.

i wanted to like it more than i do. it's ok but hits flavor notes that don't work for me as well...
L: drinking from the can. it's a nice looking can. beer's name is obviously odd, but fun. it's the quantum era.
S: not getting much. odd citrusy aroma, maybe lemon/lime like.
T: just not working for me. i get some citrus with some bitterness. some weird hop flavors that don't do much for me.
F: feels fine.
O: not my cup of tea, i guess.
