Picked up a can of this a few weeks ago at the brewery. Canned 4/3/19
A - Poured into my Duvel tulip a nice slightly hazy honey hue with a sudsy one finger white head that faded slowly to leave a thin blanket and very light side lacing.
S- Aromas prominently of an herbal tea note, decent floral notes, still some big lemon grass along with some decent malt sweetness in the background.
T - Taste is similar to the nose with more of the flowery tea like flavour. Still get a decent amount of lemon peel and lemongrass flavour. Malts definitely pop more than on the nose, almost slightly caramel like. Just a touch of a spicy hop on the finish. Lingering herbal note throughout.
M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, little crisp, body comes across on the thinner side though.
O - Overall I was pretty underwhelmed by this Pink Boots collaboration. The lemongrass was nice but the beer itself had an herbal tea vibe, both in aroma and taste, that I just couldn't shake. Like some sort of carbonated tea you'd get at a health food store. Definitely wouldn't have this one again.

Pours a huge fluffy frothy head, great retention and sticky lacing, very hazy amber orange color
Nose very floral and a little musty flower earthy note, big lemongrass, lemon zest notes, citrus, light doughy slight toasty malt, floral and vinous winey like hops, fruity
Taste many of the same characters, but malts are more prominent, a little creamy base with wheat or flaked something, light lemongrass, flowery with a little hibiscus and general floral notes, background light citrus zest, light bitterness, and hops bring more light musty winey vinous floral flavors, another unique grain character. Dry finish, very light bitterness but an interesting spicy character and light zest, lemony
Mouth is med bodied but soft and creamy like an NEIPA, medium to a bit higher carbonation
Overall very nice, unique and quite enjoyable, lots of fun flavors, executed well as usual
