Brewed in celebration of our 1 Year Anniversary on May 18, 2019. Orbit is an 8.1% Double IPA with Sabro, Citra, and Mosaic hops! Orbit tastes and smells like smashed coconuts, the first rains of summer, and fresh squeezed organic pineapples.

16oz can dated 9/4/20. Re release for second anniversary, listed at 8.2%.
Pours cloudy gold with a half inch head of white. Moderate retention and lacing. Pungently tropical and dank. Tangerine, mango, peach, pineapple, and weed. Medium bodied with a soft, almost creamy mouthfeel. Juicy, ripe, citrus on the palate. Papaya, mango, peach, and pineapple. Finishes dry with zero malt, light bitterness, and lingering citrus.

Poured into a 16 oz Hop Slam Snulip glass canned on 5/17/19. Pours a very hazy yellow with a solid finger sticky white head that leaves loads of thin streaks of lace with nice retention. 4.5
Smell is papaya, pineapple, apricot, and a nice hit of coconut I assume from the Cashmere hops. 4.25
Taste follows coconut stands out and it works very well, papaya, pineapple, and a little apricot tropical and juicy. 4.5
Mouthfeel is rather large and a tad sticky but not dry, soft on the palate, and at 8.1% ABV extremely drinkable. 4.5
Overall I am a huge fan of these guys, excellent first year and a stellar Anniversary NEDIPA. 4.25
