Par for the course, there's a heaping of white foam produced by emptying the entire contents of two twelve ounce cans into a clear glass liter mug. The color beneath is sandy-amber, dull and opaque. There's very little to smell, but what's there is earthy in some way. It's not particularly hoppy, nor malty, yet it's something usually only created when hops and malt combine. The same character is there to taste and it's a little more pronounced. There's a little malt, a little hoppiness and a little more sweetness for the tongue. The body is light, but there's some decent glass lacing. Overall, this is easy drinking and much more earthy than fruity. For a Hazy IPA, that's a welcomed change. It tastes good, there's just not enough of it.

 

Solid NEIPA with good quality juiciness. Only a tick below top shelf as slightly modest on flavor depth which may make this one actually better for some folks. This one surprised me in a good way. Well done.

 

 

 

Light haze. Big aroma. Juicy and tropical with dank undertones. Quite distinctive.
