Growler fill at Thumbprint in Airdrie. Wow. Hazy, hoppy, fruity, tasty. Shared growler with friends in Canmore and it disappeared in a hurry. Another delicious take on the NEIPA.

650ml bottle - the latest in their 'Limited Edition IPAs' series. Bottled March 21? Wow.
This beer pours a murky, medium apricot yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and fairly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent thickly webbed lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of overripe pineapples, further orange, red grapefruit, and lemon fruity notes, bready and doughy caramel malt, a bit of musty yeastiness, and some earthy, leafy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, bready and grainy caramel malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, some generic red berry fruitiness, ethereal yeast, a damp minerality, and more leafy, weedy, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is pretty low-key in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a nice robust creaminess evolving as we move through the process here. It finishes off-dry, the base malt and mixed fruity essences jostling for lingering dominance.
Overall - so this is the fourth (by my parsing of reviews) version of an NEIPA that Annex has released in the past six months or so, and in reading said descriptions, I'm not sensing a whole lot of differentiation. I'm sure that the hops were varied amongst them all, but at the same time, I don't get a real feel that I'm experiencing 'new material' in this case. That aside, this is still really good.
