New England India Pale Ale dry hopped with Mosaic and Citra. 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.

So, this one is an orange, hazy, opaque, liquid with a thin white head. The aroma is herbal, earthy, and had a background of fruit...like citrus peel. The taste is balanced, if not a bit dry, with some grain and under-ripe fruit. Hoppy finish.

Poured into a Trillium glass a pretty nice cloudy pale yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit, mango, guava, peach), pretty nice diesel like. The taste is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit, mango, guava, peach), pretty nice diesel like. Medium Body, ABV is hidden very nicely, with a nice dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a pretty tasty beer. Orange Julius! MilkShake! Addictive!

Poured from 16oz can into my Belvárosi sörfesztivál tulip. There's a code stamped on the can but not a recognizable date.
Appearance: light golden hue with a moderate haze and a thick head of fluffy ivory foam.
Smell: moderately sweet with some earthy papaya notes and some ever-so-slightly sharp citrus peel. I like the tropical element, though it's maybe a little light for the style.
Taste: some of that papaya character, along with a hint of pineapple and a little bit of dankness around the edges. There's kind of a sharpness here, though, that I'm not a huge fan of.
Mouthfeel: medium body and a pretty good carbonation yield a better-than-decent creaminess.
Overall: yeah, this beer's not terrible, but I like the aroma more than the flavor. Something about that sharp quasi-citrusy element just doesn't work for me.

Aroma is fruit/citrus, yeast/bread and a hint of spicy hops. The flavor is fruit/mild lemon, malts and a slightly tropical/spicy hop/mildly tart finish.

Pours a cloudy yellow straw with a finger of foamy head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring with some lacing. Aroma of pine and citrus. Taste follows nose.

FOC with another beer that skips the overly sweet juice notes and needlessly high abv that so many of the now ubiquitous and sadly inescapable neipas boast. This delivers an extremely refreshing and light body at 5.9%. It has quite a lot of lime zip to it (more than I’d expect from mosaic and citra) which is not really my jam. The Nose was very nice upon popping (citrus and floral) but as it sits in the glass i’m getting some band aid aroma. It’s a bit too sharply carbonated… like a stinging seltzer feel to it. Not my favorite foc release. The finish and the lingering aftertaste are probably the best part of this beer. There is a not quite dusty but a semi-dry, bready smack that is quite pleasant. This beer seemed to benefit from an aggressive pour which served to subdue the zippy, stinging carbonation and let the malt shine through better.

Reminds me of the first time I tasted Carton Boat as a session IPA, this one a bit stronger.
a_ Perfect last, lace, head, and body for an IPA.
s_ Citrus, flowers, pollen.
t_ Adds tropical fruit, peaches, medicine cabinet in a good way, some shellac.
f_ twisty, astringent, wine-like.
o_ Session IPA at its best.

A: The beer is hazy to cloudy pale whitish yellow in color. It poured with a half finger high white head that died down but never completely faded away and left lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of lime citrus are present in the nose along with notes of lychee.
T: The taste has flavors of lime with notes of lychee and hints of mango. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied, smooth and juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This NEIPA is very easy to drink and can be considered sessionable.
