Triple Dry-Hopped with generous amounts of Galaxy, Citra and El Dorado. Beautiful aromas of tropical fruit and citrus with a nice balance of dank pine on the back end. Aroma carries over into the flavor and has a big round finish.

Pours a very hazy, whitish-yellow. Spot-on of what I think a NE-IPA should look like. Triple-hopped with lots of sweet juicy citrus, hints of pineapple. Would buy by the case if I could

This is a low-pitched, tremulous "ooooh" brew. Dark dank pine aromas followed by a sizzling whisper of hops on the backend.

A: Pours a milky murky pale to medium golden peach in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate pale orange + pale yellow + bright yellow + orange + apricot colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense creamy sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a couple of small to medium sized patches of thin film surrounded by a large patch very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to significant amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy tropical/mango + citrus/grapefruit + tropical/passionfruit + tropical/lychee + gooseberry + dark pine resin hops over the top of just shy of moderate aromas of biscuit + pale + wheat + oat malts with a light to moderate amount of sugary sweetness.
T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of biscuit + pale + wheat + oat malts with a light to moderate amount of sugary sweetness. That is followed by a moderate to strong flavor of juicy tropical/mango + citrus/grapefruit + tropical/passionfruit + tropical/lychee + gooseberry + dark pine resin hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away pretty quickly leaving slightly stronger than moderate tropical + citrus hop flavors lingering. Light to moderate amounts of greenness/hop burn.
M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Initially slightly crisp with a moderate amount of creamy soft/fluffiness mid-body and a light amount of dryness in the finish.
O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly creamy soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Very enjoyable tropical + citrus hop flavors and aromas . Probably one of the best Double NEIPAs I’ve had from Resident Culture - definitely showing off their skills with this one.

Pale corn milk yellow with a tall airy off-white foam head that settles in chunks.
Juicy yet bitter of lightly chalky and aspiriny resin, the medium yet firm body still has plenty of tropical fruit and biscuit notes before coming to its powder dry finish.
This is definitely a unique brew in the way that it is both juicy and bitter in equally strong measure.

Can art rules. Pale mellow yellow-gold, citrus juice, pine intermingles with just a touch of hop burn. I enjoyed it.

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy pale dark yellow in color. It poured with a short off white head that left small patches of bubbles covering the surface and some lacy rings of bubbles down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of gooseberries and lychees are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell, having flavors of gooseberries along with notes of stone fruit and hints of lychee and dank pine. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and rather juicy on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer tastes like a hybrid between an American Imperial IPA and a New England IPA. I liked the complexity of flavors in the taste.
Serving type: can
