Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a super hazy golden orange color with a thick head of off-white foam. The head has a fantastic level of retention, fading slowly over time and leaving tons of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is heavy of an orange juice smell mixed with a big showing of pine and herb. Along with these aromas comes notes of tropical fruits with mango and pineapple, along with some other smells of oat and bread.
Taste – The taste begins with a orange and tangerine juice citrus flavor mixed with a oatbread and rather malty taste. Along with there flavors comes some pine and herbal hops, along with a light level of a grapefruit rind flavor. As the taste advances more sweetness joins in, with more orange juice and some of the tropical fruits that were in the nose. All the while a touch of lemon and some raw hop flavor develop as well, mixing with the rest to produce a raw hopped and rather malty and thick taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – the body is very thick and chewy with a more moderate and low level carbonation.
Overall – A bit heavy on the palate for the abv. but a decent brew none the less.

Tried this one last night mixed in among a bunch of killer TH offerings. It stood out, and stood its own. Revisiting again today...wow, Spyglass NEIPA game is consistently some of the best. This might be my new fave from them.
EDIT: 3rd can on 3 separate occasions. Perhaps my fave NEIPA of all time, including top TH.
Really almost about to give it 5's across the board, and I will come back and edit it if I never find anything better.

Poured into a 13 oz Teku glass canned on 5/17/22. Pours a very attractive milky yellow with a finger sticky white head that leaves thin streaks of lace with excellent retention. 4.5
Aroma is orange starburst, pineapple, peach, passionfruit, and apricot. 4.5
Taste follows orange starburst, pineapple, peach, passionfruit, and apricot. 4.5
Mouthfeel is a little bigger than medium, soft gentle carbonation, not sticky or dry, and at 8.3% it goes down very easy. 4.5
Overall this one is unique, but really tasty. I would definitely recommend this one. 4.5
