A creamy IPA. Legit creamy. Interesting like all Ingenious beers, not at the top of my list, but still nice.

Serving: 1 pint can (stamped “insane in the mother brain 2/18/19”) poured into a Spiegelau IPA glass.

Appearance: Thickly hazy golden yellow with a densely thick head of white foam and sticky rings of lace.

Smell: Bright, juicy aromas of orange citrus.

Taste: Flavor continues with more orange citrus and sweetness (Orange Julius?), along with slight tropical fruit, pine notes and mild but crisp butter close.

Mouthfeel: Medium body, with full, creamy feel and soft carbonation.

Overall: Creamy smooth and drinkable NEIPA.
