Poured from a 16oz can dated 10/6/20 to a Nonic at fridge temp.
Hazy orange body, medium white head, moderate lacing.
Must dominates the aroma, not much for citrus or sharp hops.
Tasting brings some mild citrus and the mustiness is gone. I would like a little more bitter finish.
Mouthfeel is medium to light.
It's okay, no real complaints.

Pleasant surprise from a local -- first one of theirs I've tried. Pretty straightforward NEIPA, but very well executed. Well balanced, still get some good malt and not overly juicy like some NEIPAs.

Poured from a pint can into a chalice style glass. Beer is dated 2/25/20 so just over a month old when consumed. White head, two fingers deep, with good lacing. Body of the beer is apricot in color, semi opaque. Delicious citrusy aroma, very inviting. The first sip is all about citrus, tangerine and a bit of grapefruit as the 3 hops used kick in for a clean mildly bitter finish. Very pleased that this local brewery is producing a top notch NEIPA!
