16oz can pours a cloudy orange with a large, fluffy, and pillowy white head. The nose is floral and leads with what I would call a citrus character with underlying earthy and piney hops, rind; the taste follows with a balanced hop profile of citrus, pith, and a hint of that piney character, with little malt character outside of the crackery profile holding up the hops. A good NEIPA.

Pours a thick, hazy, deep amber bordering on copper. Smells divine, an extra sweetness I don't get in other hazies, strong citrus profile evoking mandarin orange . Lightbodied, sweet and dry, Leaves a clean dank taste on the tongue. Tastes a bit piney to balance out the sweet citrus combining for a zesty, distinct flavor.
Consumed with some spicy pho and it set it the hell off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Review # 1399:

I have not seen this beer before in Idaho. I dig cats, especially fat oranges cats. I had to buy this beer. This beer is a New England IPA. The pour of the beer produced a two-fingered foamy and billowy head. The color of the beer's head is bright white. The retention of the beer's head is exceptional. The head left lacing on the glass as it dissipated. The color of the beer is SRM 6, straw yellow with amber yellow hues. The appearance of the beer is wonderful. I prefer it if they kept this beer cloudy.

The initial aromas in the beer are orange floral, lemons, mangos, and pineapple. Next, I smell toasted crackers, bread, a hint of grapefruit, grass, and bay leaves.

The flavors in the beer are oranges, floral, papaya, lemons, mangos, pineapple, floral esters, toasted crackers, a hint of solvent, bread, a hint of pine, grapefruit, and grass.

The mouthfeel of the beer is slightly astringent and crisp.

The body of the beer is medium, medium carbonation, and fuller finish.

This is what I enjoyed, the NEIPA typical flavors, the balance in the beer, and how easy it is to drink. I enjoy the citrus and tropical flavors in this style of beer. The beer had a bit of bite on the end from the pine and grapefruit. This beer is well made. I was wanting the flavors to burst out on the palate. I felt the beer was more malt heavy, thus muting the beer. None the less I would give this beer a B+

 

 

Picked up a single from the Craft Beer Hop Stop in Phoenix on 9-12-19 for $4.99. No canning date but would guess it was in August 2019.

Beer poured a cloudy orange with a very nice white head that has some very good hang time.

Nose is juicy, orange and papaya forward.

Taste follows the nose with notes of papaya, mango, and orange over a medium pale malt base. Finishes with a light pulp bitterness; 5/10 on my scale.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied and smooth and somewhat refreshing.

Overall a nice NEIPA, glad i was able to try it!

 

L: hazy orange color, nice white head, good lacing
S: tropical and citrus fruits
T: follows the nose
F: creamy, good overall mouthfeel
O: nice representation of the style

 

 

L: Poured from a tallboy can to a pint glass. Had a (mostly) orange color and a super-cloudy consistency. There was a quarter inch of foamy somewhat long-lasting head. Solid lacing.

S: A very nice aroma of hops, citrus fruit, tropical fruit, malt, and pine.

T: Tasted of a little bit of malt (mostly in the finish), lots of tropical fruit (pineapple, mango), a fair amount of hops (more than usual), light pine notes, and a ton of citrus fruit (tangerine, in particular). A light, vibrant, and sweet flavor. It's a tad bit hoppier than your typical NE IPA, but definitely still quite sweet. Flavorful and focused.

F: A well-carbonated beer with a smooth and creamy finish. Medium-bodied.

O: A well made, enjoyable beer. Drinkable.
