Compared to BlackStack The Great Outdoors 10/8/22: Pours a similar appearance. Stronger aromas. More green citrus zest, citrus rind, meaty citrus pulp flavors. Less tropical mango and melon notes.

Compared to BlackStack Trust The Process 10/8/22: Pours a similar appearance. Milder aromas. More green citrus zest, citrus rind, meaty citrus pulp flavors. Less tropical mango and melon notes.

Overall: A decent collection of flavors here. The aromas initially wowed me with the green citrus aromas, but then it started to turn fleshy from the meaty and pulpy aromas. The flavors were also a bit meaty and pulpy. Lots of citrus flesh. Somewhat tart and astringent from the citrus flesh and rind. Juicy citrus here. If you like pulp and citrus rind, then this is your beer. (Rating: 3.99)

Pours a hazy lemon straw color with a fresh white head. Smell is herbal and dank with some tropical notes. Taste has melon berries stone fruit papaya and apple. Mouth feel is dank and herbal, a very different hop profile to me for the NEIPA style.
