Pale yellow with a fluffy white head, a small nip of bitterness on the front that mellows out to a playful medley of passionfruit, citrus and peaches. It has a full mouthfeel yet it’s gentle enough on the palette that you’ll want to snuggle all evening on the couch with it.

From Beer Drop, best by October 7th 2026.
Pours a cloudy orange, over a finger of foam, good retention, some lacing.
The smell is orange zest, tangerine, mango with some pineapple.
The taste is orange zest, tangerine, mango, pineapple, some mild sweetness. Tropical fruit hanging around especially in the finish.
Good mouthfeel, I would drink this again.

It pours cloudy yellow with a white head. It has excellent head retention. It has strong orange flavors with a strong citrus pulp elements. There are also tangerine notes. It has a smooth texture. The finish is a little on the sweet side.

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – the beer pours a hazy yellow-orange color with a large puffy head of white foam. The head has a great level of retention, fading slowly and leaving tons of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is rather strong of a herbal and grapefruit hop along with notes of oat and bread. At the same time there is a touch of hop and some light notes of orange juice and a touch of passionfruit.
Taste – The taste starts with a bready and light oat flavor mixed with a strong showing of grapefruit and herbal hop. There is a light level of orange juice and peach, along with a touch of passionfruit and papaya. The sweet flavors fade a tad, al while more hop joins in. A bit of yeast and some hay join in at the end, leaving one with a decently hopped and not too juicy, malted up taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – the body of the brew is creamy with a more moderate carbonation level.
Overall – An approachable NEIPA with a easy drinking nature.

Drinking out of a large snifter.
Pours a very hazy medium with a pretty full head.
Smells some of tropical fruits.
Reasonable mouth feel.
Somewhat fruity, somewhat tangy taste. Muted. No bitterness.

A very light creamy gold, opaque and hazy. A fluffy white head; The taste is mild and unremarkable; Mouthfeel is not bad but also unremarkable; Not a bad beer, good looking, but nothing to go out of my way about.

Draft at Hops & Bottles. Hazy yellow pour, wispy, fine head. Citrusy aroma, oranges and tangerines. Taste remains citrusy, but had more a grapefruit flavor, zesty.

True to description. A very easily enjoyed beer. I tend to like more hoppy beers like Surly Axe Man but this was quite delightful

On draft at Brews On the Square in Pendleton, SC.
Appearance. Cloudy, pale yellow body with an excellent white head.
Fruity with some orange. Low bitterness for the style.
Mouthfeel. Excellent except for a touch of harshness that's probably from acidity.

On tap at Windsor Browns in Anaheim, CA.
Nose starts with a pop of peach, melon, passion fruit, and a generally herbal bite. No real note of malts. The more I sniff I get deeper tropical note.
Flavor starts off with grapefruit or lime rind. More subtle notes include melon, underripe peach and green grape.
Mouthfeel is light, mild carb.
Overall, it’s ok.
