Can dated 4/23/19 into pint glass. Pours a very hazy gold-amber with a thin off-white head. Initial impression is grapefruit, pineapple, orange, and mango, nicely backed by caramel malts. Mouthfeel is soft and sticky; carbonation lends a slight bite that nicely offsets the mouthfeel. Finish is fairly smooth, morphing into a slight bitterness. Thoroughly enjoyable but a little harsh for a NEIPA.

CANNED ON 04/23/19 #CRAFT SUBLIME
Served in a nonic pint
A: Hazy Arnold Palmer light amber with fluffy 1-2 finger white head with decent retention and very sticky lacing.
S: Grapefruit, orange, lime, guava with an herbal grassy edge
T: Flavor is more pineapple and melon than the aroma although it has citrus components too. More lime and grapefruit in the finish along with more melon and a light earthy, herbal, slightly weedy flavor in the aftertaste. Bitterness is low-medium.
M: Drinkable and lighter bodied than the ABV predicts but with a bit too prickly carbonation for me.
O: Another solid to very good offering from BC. They have a good handle on the style and how to turn out a solid NEIPA — frequently they have a stellar result. Tasmantis is not in that range but it is still a very enjoyable beer.
