16oz can. Bottom stamp reads 'N-1078 09/26/23'.
Hazy, straw to pale gold colored body. One finger of soapy white head, and this becomes a filmy cap and ring. Lacing consists of a few scattered spots on the non-drinking side of the glass.
Aroma has lots of grapefruit, with some orange, melon, strawberry, and a scent close to coconut.
Taste is sweet from tropical and citrus fruit flavors - pineapple and grapefruit. Also there is a hint of mint, along with some pine needles close to the end. Slow fade in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is toward the thin side, but very soft in texture. Creates tongue burn with each sip. Good carbonation.
Creates burps that distill the fruit and pine concoction.

Crisp AF NEIPA
Aurora Brewing Co. IPA New England / Hazy
The double dry-hopped cones have a tangy and earthy tangerine and pine flavor. Both crisp (ish) and juicy with dry earth feels. A bit of bitterness to the otherwise dried fruits style flavor. Medium complexity with an approach.

I refer you to the review by mikeinportc, which I endorse & from which I steal these lines:
"Taste is mostly pineapple and grapefruit, with some kiwi, melon, and white grape mixed in. Moderately bitter, and drier than the aroma would indicate. Feel is lightly juicy, with light, very,very fine carbonation tingle/burn, and a drying finish. Overall very good, and easy-drinking . It's not reinventing the NEIPA wheel , but it doesn't have to. It just does the usual thing (NEIPA with Nelson) quite well. :)"
I quite like this beer but I'm giving it a 3.75 whereas Mike, whose review I quoted, rated it a bit higher. It looks a bit more watery and the mouthfeel is a bit more thin than I consider ideal. But the smell and taste, the 2 most important things, are very good.

Canned 3/30/21 . I mistakenly grabbed this , instead of the new batch fresh off the truck (van ;) ). Spoiler alert : given the date, I didn't review my first can, but it seems surprisingly good, and matches my memory of when I had it fresh (2018?) .
Hazy yellow, with just under two fingers of white head, that leaves a 1/8" ring, and a thin surface sheet. No appreciable lacing.
Smells of pineapple creamsicle, grapefruit, and charentais melon, plus a "fresh" crackery malt aroma that fades with the head. Slight green onion and grape aromas from the open can.
