Citra, Mosaic, and Denali hops are the stars of this beer, and they shine to their brightest. Bursting with tangerine, pineapple, and melon aromas, this hazy IPA is beautifully balanced.

Original review:
31 IBU.
Pale yellow with a thin head that lingers, has a hoppy, piney aroma with some citrus. Uses Cotra, Mosaic and Denali hops. Very well balanced and done.

Today's review:
Still pale, but head is much fuller, nose is fruity. Drinking makes you cut thru the foam, when you quickly get to the heart, you get a stone fruit taste.
Still good after all these years.

A - Hazy pale orange body, with some transparency at the edges and translucent throughout. White head, short, fading to a short cap, with tiny bubble lacing.
S - Green grapes out front, with tangerine and grapefruit citrus beneath, a strong grassy hop thread, and a bit of earthiness.
T - Follows the nose, with quiet fruit notes, white wine aspect with melon, peach and stone fruit highlight, a touch of tangerine zest, and a subtly bitter pith note over more stone fruit through the finish.
M - Moderate weight, decent carbonation, quite drinkable, with no harsh hazy acidity and a soft close.
O - This was surprisingly good. Tasty, pleasant, with a lot going on. I probably will seek this out again in the future.

The Wetlands pours a hazy yellow color, with a small lacing head. Sweet creamy aroma, with citrus notes. Flavor is sweet and full of citrus, with a slightly bitter finish. Good body. Overall, a very balanced, yet strong NEIPA. Lots of haze, with some bitterness to equal this out.

Poured from crowler into shaker pint glass.
A: Pours a very nice hazy orange-yellow hue with 2 inch bubbly white head with good retention.
S: Nice sharp and fresh citrus (grapefruit, orange, and lemon) hop notes, pine, and hint of cracker malt in the background.
T: Follows aroma with fresh and mildly sharp grapefruit, pine, orange, lemon, and lime notes. With a bit of warming, notes of tangerine and pineapple emerge.
M: Light body. Juicy feel. Citrus sweetness with moderate bitterness. Lingers nicely on the palate.
D: Very approachable and sessionable. Very nice on a hot summer day!
