Pours a turbid orange color with a lovely creamy white head that skates down the glass as you enjoy this NEDIPA. Gorgeous beer. The nose is filled with juicy peach and ripe tangerine notes, with a bit of mango and sweet oats. I’ve entered the drooling zone.

The taste is all about the interplay between the stone fruit of the peach and the dank citrus of the tangerine, with the mango and creamy oats providing balance that completely hides the 9.5% ABV heft of this beer.

The mouthfeel is substantial and creamy, fitting this beer like a glove. This is exceptionally well done by a brewery that is a hidden gem in Kalamazoo MI. World class, IMHO.

A - Pours a hazy orange with a creamy white head. Decent amount of soapy lacing.

S - Aroma is orange, cantaloupe, honeydew and piney hops.

T - The taste is tangerine, peach, cantaloupe, vanilla and finishing with a lingering bitter hop bite.

M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with a soft finish.

O - Another winner from Wax Wings.

 

Looks and smells incredible, creamy frothy haze, huge fruity aromas; stinky overripe melon, peach candy, dense cap of yeasty oily head. Drinks with the very best of WW, juicy in a way no other MI brewery is touching. Very low carb, mellow, little lighter than the Looza nectar of NNNN, more fresh squeezed juice vibes. But across the middle you get a decadent butter creme cake, sweet and melty, hop oils burning and tingling with sweet orange juice, blood orange, peach, apricot, overripe melon, and to boot there’s a faint hoppy, crunchy, veggie warmth for style. Alcohol giving a kiss of spice on the end- hides the abv very well, but also isn’t ashamed to harness it. WW yeast is a special breed; sticky cool and doing wonders to make this both confectionary and extremely juicy, without exaggerated sweetness. Toppppp notch haze nationwide.
