Poured from a 16oz can into a spieglau

Look: Hazy peach juice with a thick white head. Has that thick opaque look of a well brewed NEIPA.

Smell: Peach, melon, grassy mango, and guava. Quite unique. Never smelled a NEIPA like this before.

Taste: Up front is all black currant, grassy green mango, and peach. It’s all hops.

Feel: Thick and big bodied. Low bitterness. Mild alcohol. Juicy.

Overall: This is tough. It’s well brewed and I really like the concept. However I think it’s just this hop that I don’t like. Th concept is really cool just the hop handicaps this one.
