Orange marmalade looking pour with a pleasant prickly foamy head that settles quickly (as most NT beers do). This is a nice Cold IPA featuring light tropical flavors amongst notes of orange and peach preserves. Could use a bit more body and carbo but otherwise quite enjoyable. NT does this style better than others IMO

Poured into a narrow imperial pint glass: color is straw, very light, some chill haze so quite clear, head is brighter white and presents one finger thick, mixed bubble sizes and good lacing, solid top remains.
Smell is citric, candied, light mixed tropicals, touch of biscuit.
Taste is more malty sweetness upfront - biscuit, light toast; then citric and candied notes, not too pithy, but some light mixed tropicals; one of the better tasting NT IPAs as the sweetness is not overdone.
Mouthfeel is moderate carbonation, moderate sweetness, moderate bitterness.
Overall a very nice (cold) IPA - clean malt, not too sweet, moderate hop bitterness.

16oz can into a pint glass. No freshness dating.
Looks very nice in the glass. Crystal clear golden yellow body with a small white head. Interesting lacework of lacing. Aroma is lightly hoppy with dull non citrus fruit. Taste is mild and subtle, with light tropical fruit notes. A touch of orange does come through in the finish. Overall, a delicate easy drinking ipa, seems less than the 7.0 listed.
