Pours a cloudy golden straw with a finger of foamy head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring with a little lacing. Aroma of grapefruit and pineapple. Taste follows nose.

Poured from a pint can into a pint glass. Two fingered creamy head with decent lacing. The body of the beer is a light apricot, totally opaque. Nice aroma of mango, citrus, and plums. The first sip is mostly about the Galaxy and Citra hops, with a high degree of bitterness, which is felt on the tongue. The hop bite lingers, but provides a clean finish.

Look...very nice NEIPA look. a sparse head Rapidly vanishing to the juice look

Smell...pungent hop smell, pineapple, citrus, dankness.

Taste...Juice , bitter sweet with a quick turnaround to bitter with some dryness. 3 weeks old and this should be in the Sweet spot so to speak but no. it is bitter. Irony is so damned ironic. Anyway and i had it the other night and i thought it was better but i was tainted by the outstandingly sweet Brooklyn stout i had (which was awesome as usual by the way)and it had me craving bitter i think and it fit the bill that day. But today i think less of it. I wanna love it but heh to each his own. It appears to be well made. When i pay 18 and above a 4 pack i expect a lot...worth a shot but i will probably not go back to this one. I tried my first from Alvarium and it was really nice( Honey shot) so i gotta try Phresh next.

Feel...nice and juice and no foam. Astringent bitter controls the beer

Overall...Not bad but for me not great. But you know what Beer Advocates tastes and preferences are in the eye of the beholder so you might like it because it has some positives

Nearly 20 bucks for a 4 pack. Im underwhelmed. Its almost boring. I wish breweries would concentrate on making more balanced singles than churning ambitious doubles that are unfortunately more muted in their expression of hop flavors than the singles somehow. This tastes like every other nedipa out there. Its good, but not as good as Phresh. Its not making me want to drink more of it.
