Not great but good hazy. All the normal good NEIPA just not as refined as the topvshrlfers.

I must be an alien. I know my parents were naturalized US citizens. I was born in Cleveland. So legally, I'm not, but I think like one.
This pours yellow and just a slight haze with moderate fizz. The aroma is kind of hoppy stanky but not overly so (my sample is real cold). The taste is just what you wanted. That juicy squeeze the hazys often have, lods of hops. A great flavor balance. It is a pleasure going down.
Highly recommended. Right now this feels like one of the best IPAs I've found for a while. It has loads of character and is very satisfying. Beam me up - the intelligent life is being replaced by an idiocracy.

pours straw yellow, super hazy - you can see thru it, but barely. Big white choppy head, limited lacing.
Citrus, lemon peel scent takes charge over most else.
What not heavily inventing in sight and smell, the taste picks up the pace. Nice saltine malts, light, with a pleasant citrus burst. Nothing overpowering. And a welcome backbone, that brings in some complex flavors. Dates, candied fruit, pepper spice, surrounding some noticeable alcohol.
Transition to finish is smooth, not crisp, but the low carbonation helps to keep it flavorful throughout. Lengthy finish and aftertaste, none too bitter but plenty of hoppiness.
Imperfect, yet nice flavors win me over

This beer pours a brilliant golden hue. It is topped with an inch of eggshell colored head that leaves nice lacing.
Light citrus and resin aromas
Nice citrus flavor with a dank, resin taste. Mild bitterness
Thinner bodied with a smooth mouthfeel
