A double dry hopped imperial IPA. The use of Galaxy and Enigma hops make this one a beer lovers friend.

Hazy pale gold; creamy one finger of white foam; excellent cap retention; solid ring; heavy lacing. Skunky earthy white grape must nose. White grapes, overripe semi sweet tropical fruit/pineapple; firm malt base; no bitterness; white grapes finish. Medium light body; moderate minus carbonation; no astringency; light almost clean feel. An excellent HazyLite; good taste and easy drinking.

Gift from @sawDog505. I can’t tell what is or isn’t a Nee England IPA anymore. This really strikes me as one. Very cloudy golden orange. Mild fluffy head and lacing. Smell is citrusy lemon. Taste is tangy, zesty, juicy citrus. Slight bit of bitterness on the back end. Light bodied, dry finish, clean and crisp. Not a bad beer, but if this isn’t a New England IPA, what is?

Edit: SawDog told me the only reason he didn’t enter this as a New England was because that wasn’t an option when he entered it.

16oz can dated 4/29/20.

Pours cloudy gold with an inch of dense white foam. Retention and lacing are exceptional. Candied tropicals with dank undertones in the nose. White grape, peach, mango, and grapefruit. Medium bodied with a creamy, soft mouthfeel. Ripe, juicy citrus on the palate with zero malt and a minimal bitterness. Grapefruit, hard peaches, pineapple, and tangerine. Finishes dank and sticky.

Honey-glazed orange hue in the glass, medium to full on opaque, decent retention and lacing. Aromas of white wine, gooseberry, white grape, pineapple, and orange peel. My initial thought was Nelson, but I knew it had to be along the lines of Mosaic, or Enigma, or I was ready to hand in my beer card. I obviously know now that Enigma was the correct answer, and I'm thankful for it. Additional smells of lemon/lime, and hints of dank weed. Taste follows with that tangy character you get with Enigma hops, enveloping itself around the citrus and grassy, leafy, weed-like characteristics. Soft, yet prickly with ample bodied carbonation. Very thankful for this one. Cheers.

From the can dated 04/29/20. Sampled on May 1, 2020. Fresh!

Hazy or rather milky, opaque looking orange-yellow pour underneath a modest white head that laces as it fades.

The aroma emits herbal, earthy, and orange juice sensations. A lower profile cereal grain or oatmeal malt presence.

Smooth medium or better mouthfeel.

The taste is at first sweet and juicy and then there is a biting bitterness to finish it. Immensely satisfying.

Golden haze with minimal cap that laces nicely. Aromas are enigmatic! A ton of tangerine and citrus on the nose. Flavors are similar with nice dank tones and mild malt to attempt balance with these aggressive yet oh so smooth and non-bitter hop goodness. Finish is a bit dry.
