16 FL OZ can
Served in a HOMES glass

This beer pours like orange juice. It is pale orange and turbid. It is topped with an inch of tan head that leaves decent lacing.

It has a slightly dank nose with the obligatory tropical fruit.

It has a tropical fruit flavor but is grounded by some earthy taste.

Full bodied with a creamy mouthfeel

This is a nice version of a single hopped NEIPA. It is juicy and earthy with a little dank.

Great beer, very nice to get a look at what Idaho 7 tastes like. Looks awesome in the glass, light golden yellow very thick haze, big head. Smells sort of muted citrus, pine, spices. Big taste, sort of grassy, onion, melon, citrus, pine, very minimal lingering bitterness.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 5/20/2019. Pours opaquely hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, black tea, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/lightly earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, black tea, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, black tea, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/lightly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 8%. Overall this is an incredible NEDIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/lightly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the ABV, with the mildly bitter/drying finish; amazingly soft feel. Amazing Idaho 7 showcase. Extremely juicy, and lightly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and top tier quality style example.

Solidly opaque 1 ball yellow-orange with a lumpy off-white head settling to a thin ring.

A perfectly mild carbonation almost brings the body to a full feel as a tangy, spicy dankness accents flavors of orange and peach push pops before a lightly herbal bitter sting finishes it off.
