Obvious Epiphany
Annex Ale Project

Hazy (not milky) deep golden pour with 2 fingers white head. Aroma hits hard with piney resinous note, citrus rind - definitely hoppy on nose.
Taste sticks to the aroma - citrus, piney with some balancing malty sweetness - the bitterness/hoppiness wins out. Medium full body with subtle bitterness lingering slightly.
Really tasty - no fault of this beer but perhaps had so many similar of this style that they have started to become difficult to differentiate.... Still recommend.

I really enjoyed this beer but I think calling a NEIPA is a bit of a misnomer. It Poor's far too clear, does not have the soft mouth feel or is it overly juicy. As a NWIPA this is very well executed.

650ml bottle - ok, back to their bread and butter (not literally, hopefully! I keed, I keed!).

This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly creamy off-white head, which leaves some random, thickly-splattered lace around the glass as it lazily seeps out of sight.

It smells of dank pine resin, bready and doughy cereal malt, some hard water stoniness, orange and red grapefruit citrus rind, a further indistinct tropical fruitiness, and more earthy, musty, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, muddled domestic citrus peel, some damp minerality, and a grassy, herbal, and piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly sedate in its innocuous frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really existing here that may be a cause for screaming like Chicken Little. It finishes off-dry, the malt and mixed lingering hops dancing the dance of the doomed.

Overall - yeah, this offering is aptly named, as they have returned to making another variant of the NEIPA, and it's a good one. Nice and hoppy, and not particularly bitter, the obvious epiphany for me is that I very much like this style, when executed properly, that is.
