Usual root branch if that makes sense. Still not that into this brewery, I don't get how they're one of the highest rated in the world, and I've certainly had enough of their beers to be certain of this

A 1 pint can, canned on 10th May 2023, poured into a winebar glass.
Appearance: A hazy milky pale yellow colour with a one finger white head that had good retention, while leaving nice lacing.
Aroma: Sweetish, citrus zest and rind, strawberry, pineapple, mango, although a bit light.
Taste: Orange pith and rind, lime zest, pineapple, strawberry, and melon notes.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Aroma and flavours were good, but on the whole, a little light.

2 months old. Can to wine glass.
L: Pours a milky light yellow with a fluffy white head that leaves a good amount of lacing. A few yeast floaters visible.
S: Candied citrus fruits, strawberries and ripe white grapes. Sweet and bubblegummy.
T: Lighter taste than the smell suggested with similar fruit notes. Overall rather fresh than candied. Citrus fruits and white grapes are definitely there, strawberries just minimally. Hoppy and slightly grassy. Medium low sweetness and low bitterness.
F: Very juicy with a minimal burn and a medium carbonation.
O: Very good IPA with a great nose and a fruity, very crushable body. Perfectly crafted as all of their beers, but unfortunately a bit light in taste.

It's definitely a NEIPA, but everything is a bit light, from the color to the taste to the body. It's not bad, just light.

Appearance: Pours a translucent goldenstraw color with a sturdy inch of white foam; good retention and strands of lace
Smell: Pineapple, tangerine and lemon/lime tones with a hint of pith
Taste: Tangerine forward with lemon/lime flavors developing; moderate levels of bitterness arrive, in the middle to join the juicy flavors; the pineapple adds a sweeter element that complements the finish
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: Juicy and refreshing; I like the way the pineapple adds a subtle sweetness
Thanks, devoured_by_vermin, for the opportunity
