Pours a cloudy, pale golden yellow with a fine white head that leaves persistent lacing. The aroma is vibrant—floral and citrusy with hints of tropical fruit, grapefruit, and a touch of acidity. On the palate, it’s juicy and plush with mango and tropical sweetness layered over a biscuity malt base. A subtle pineapple-like sharpness on the finish provides balance without overpowering. Medium-bodied and crisp, with well-integrated bitterness and a smooth mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden. Exceptionally drinkable and well-crafted—an excellent example of a modern NEIPA.

 

 

Good NEIPA!! Poured from a 16 oz. can into a pint glass, this beer features the standard NEIPA straw yellow, hazy body. The head is white, big, foamy and long lasting. There a re lots to wide bands of foamy lacing on the glass. Aroma and taste include lots of grapefruit (Citra hops) and some tropical fruit on a biscuity malt background. Good strong taste and moderate bitterness. Mouthfeel is rich for a NEIPA, crisp with enough bitterness to make it enjoyable. The alcohol is well hidden. A good brew!!!!

 

Poured from a 16 oz can bought in FL.

Light gold color with moderate haze and a stack of fluffy off-white head. Uh-oh--aroma has more wet cardboard than hops. This beer is oxidized. I can't find a date on the can, but I suspect it was either a pretty old can or was not handled well during canning. The flavors have also been affected by the oxidation. The citrus hops seem dull and muted and there is a light cardboard taste. The body is medium to thick, which may be intended, or it may be that oxidation has altered it. Carbonation is strong and creamy. Hops bitterness is high and alcohol heat is moderate, seeming a bit high for the listed ABV.

I'm disappointed that this can had a problem. I would like to try another can, and if the results are significantly different I will update my review.

On tap at Hamaknockers BBQ (Medart, Florida).

Appearance. Cloudy, pale golden body with a very fine white head. The head leaves the glass mostly covered with lacing.

This is an exceptionally well balanced and drinkable Hazy IPA. It has appreciable complexity, with notes of tropical fruits predominant.

 

 

 

 

 

A: Pours a bright yet still murky golden apricot in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate pale golden yellow + bright yellow + pale orange + peach colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense creamy sudsy foamy off-white head that slowly reduces to a handful of small patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of slightly mottled thin film and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy tropical/passionfruit + tropical/pineapple + tropical/papaya + citrus/grapefruit hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + oat + wheat malts with a light to moderate amount of sugary sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + oat + wheat malts with a light to moderate amount of sugary sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy tropical/passionfruit + tropical/pineapple + tropical/papaya + citrus/grapefruit hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away quickly leaving moderate lingering tropical hop flavors.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Light to moderate amounts of soft/fluffiness mid-body and a light to moderate amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly soft/fluffy mouthfeel but not quite as creamy soft/fluffy as other examples in the style. Very enjoyable Citra hop profile with lots of great tropical + citrus hop flavors and aromas.
