Love vanilla, love NEIPA, but this one's still too crazy for me. No lack of vanilla and sweetness in it, and it's really fun and groovy for a few sips. Could never drink 2 of these in a night. Fun to try!

A pint can gifted to me by a friend. Canned on 01/31/20.
Poured in to a nonic pint glass

Hazy golden orange color, huge off-white head that recedes slowly to a thin cap, lots of sticky lacing, no carbonation visible.

Aroma is big citrus, pineapple and mango, stone fruit, melon, berries and grainy malt, a small bit of floral/spicy white pepper hop presence. No pine to speak of.

Follows the nose well with a definite creamy vanilla touch.

Pillowy soft, creamy, no bitterness to speak of, light carbonation on the tongue.

Living on the west coast I wish the local brewers could nail this down, absolutely incredible beer.

Hazy orange with a touch of salmon color with a finger head. Smells like a sour and a barrel sample of wine combined. Big yeast, citrus and grape aromas. I'm getting some of the strawberry but less vanilla in the nose. Definitely has some sour characteristics. Flavors of yeast, sour citrus and strawberry fruit, fizz on the tongue. There's more vanilla and strawberry in the flavor than the nose. It's 50/50 between a sour and an IIPA. Light to medium bodied with some creamy texture. It's good...
