A single IPA, dry hopped with generous portions of Denali, Vic secret and Azacca. With enormous citrus and tropical aroma, this beer puts forth tasting notes of tangerine, pineapple and creamsicle. We took our first sip of this one and had no other words… we thought, damn, this is yummy

Brew export #7 guessed neipa

Pours a hazy straw colour.

Smell is dank fruitiness. Not very strong though. It also has a certain floral, herbal, almost lagerlike aroma.

Taste is the same.

Feel is quite light and refreshing.
At a lower abv this would be a great beer, but the abv is just too high for the beer.

A moderately tall head of white foam builds over a slightly dull yellow and less than fully opaque body.

This beer pretty deftly exhibits lightly dank juiciness, and if it were slightly lighter in ABV would be pretty crushable.

Poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass; born on 6/23/23. Pours slightly hazy bright yellow with plenty of foamy head... rapidly recedes. Light citrus and hops with a slight creamy taste. Good but doesn't stand out from others of the style.

I don't get it. Very light without much flavor. A bit of creamy mouthfeel, but nothing else. It is 5/1 and the date is 2/15, so maybe as printed on the label, time kills art?
A friend bought this because of the skull art, but I am not getting any darkness or mystical feelings.

Complicated flavor. Aftertaste just OK. Its a quality beer. I may not be a fan of Vic Secret Hops?
