I’m tasting this blind, so indulge me a bit. It’s a very hazy pineapple color with a creamy pearl white head and is hurling spicy citrus aromas from the glass - pineapple, passion fruit, oranges, and especially lychee.

Taste is straight up baller juicy IPA, with orange, pineapple, passion fruit, and the aforementioned lychee. Absolutely delicious.

The mouthfeel is full and on the softer side per what I’m assuming is the NEIPA style. I’m guessing that’s what this is, and it could be from any one of many breweries.

Pours very attractive opaque light yellow, almost pastel body. Head is cloud white with nice sudsiness and good retention.

Smells of pineapple and nectarine.

Taste is young pineapple with noticeable balance of white grapefruit and a piney-ness that I didn’t pick up on the nose. It’s juicy enough but almost more than offset by a solid helping hop tart and pith, which I personally enjoy.

Mouthfeel is decently creamy but just a hair thin and fizzy compared to Vitamin Sea’s best IPAs. Pleasant dry and tart finish for me.

If you’ve been following Vitamin Sea for a while you may notice they’ve been upping the amount of their offerings and have much more stock than prior periods. Happy to report the quality has not dipped in the slightest. Highly enjoyable IPA here that’s a good counterpoint to the other ripe and juicy IPAs that these folks are known for.
