A - Pours pale orange body, hazy translucence but not completely opaque, with a moderate white head fading to a thin cap, with extensive ropey lacing.

S - Citrus and dank tropical fruit notes, grapefruit and mango, passionfruit and tangerine, and a bit of pithiness.

T - Open is bright citrus, a bit of peach and mango, malty sweetness in the middle, and a dry pith finish.

M - Prickly carbonation, moderate weight, dry close with just a touch of resin build on the tongue.

O - I like this beer. Good flavor, and satisfying heft. Not top tier, but definitely one to pick up from time to time.

No canning date

Compared to Junkyard Werewolves at Luncheon 11/2022: Pours lighter and clearer. Milder aromas. More sweet melon, berry, and apple flavors. Less tropical citrus and pineapple. Slightly sweeter and more resinous.

Compared to Modist Noteworth 11/2022: Pours lighter and clearer. Stronger aromas. More juicy and tropical. Less earthy and dank pine. Juicier, sweeter, and less bitter.

Overall: A decent NEIPA here. You wouldn't know it from the appearance as it pours completely clear. The Citra, Mosaic, and Amarillo give a strong and sweet melon, berry, apple flavor. Slightly heavier, sweet, and resinous. (Rating: 3.97+)
