16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of citrus, grapefruit and sweet caramel. Sweet tropical fruitiness with toasted caramel.

CAN
Milky tan; hop sack + greenery with some honeydew rind; speck of cracker then underripe orange rind, papaya, slight herb oil + some grass; ringing minty linger + spritzy body.

Mosaic, Vic Secret
Got the nose, got the hops, but the body lets it down. Smooth enough, but overcarbed. That’s throwing the NEIPA balance, though maybe also masking the low ABV. 3 months in the can - is it a live conditioning thing?
Quenching + hoppy, rewards repeated visits and a model of nano-IPAs but not up to Magic Rock Micromachine where - given that this is Whiplash - it certainly should be.

A "micro ipa" with a tiny abv, yet plenty of flavor. Remarkable! Full of orange, mango, grapefruit, pineapple, pine and white peach. Goes down smooth and light, can't say I have had anything like it, will be memorable how the flavor strength and beer body strength contrasting in a fun way
