1 US pint can, from Vinmonopolet Stavanger Hinna. ABV is 8.2%. Hazy golden colour, huge white head. Aroma of citrus, papaya and some spicy yeast. Fairly sweet flavour with same elements, notes of pine needles too, moderate bitterness.

I am trying this beer off the tapper at the brewery as part of a five sample flight. It poured a hazy golden with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had dank tropical fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright malt base with bitter dank tropical citrus fruit presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

Solid stuff from these folks for sure. Only my 3rd offering from this brewer, but wow am I looking forward to trying more! This is a juicy, barely-bitter, well-balanced NEIPA that hits the right notes and balance for my tastes.

16oz can dated 4/17/20.
Pours cloudy gold an inch-plus of white froth. Plenty of tattered lacework with nice retention. Candied peach, pineapple, and grapefruit in the nose. Medium bodied with a creamy, tacky mouthfeel. Tropical candy on the palate with grapefruit, peach, pineapple, and tangerine. Finishes a bit sweet with zero malt, lingering citrus, and a firm bitterness.
