Pours a hazy, orange coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and stone fruit, tropical and citrus hops, with notes of peach, passion fruit and grapefruit. Taste is an excellent balance of light biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, slightly floral and herbal hops, with stone fruit, tropical and citrus notes of peach, apricot, passion fruit, mango, grapefruit and tangerine. Finishes with a light bitterness and some peach, passion fruit and grapefruit lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

Although this very much is a NEIPA of the fruit salad variation, lacking any bitter, dank or resinous notes, it's certainly rather juicy, with the Nectaron standing out particularly with its bright peach and passion fruit character. Unfortunately, that makes it a bit hard to identify where the NHZ 106 hops come in here. There are some soft floral, herbal accents that could be attributed to it, but the strong Nectaron presence sure makes it hard to identify fruit characteristics. Overall this makes for an enjoyable NEIPA with bright and juicy hops, that is just a tad too sweet and one-dimensional for my personal taste though.
