Pours hazy, dark yellow, white head, not too carbonated, smells fruity. First taste typical IPA, for me sharply bitter, a little sour. I wouldn't say it's easy drinking, has a medium body, it may take a few more sips to get use to.

Fjord NEIPA is hazy, and a bright, almost golden amber in color. The head is rocky, bone white, and lasting.
The aroma on this NEIPA is fairly bursting with hops. I could smell those citrusy hops as soon as I opened the can. On closer examination, Fjord’s nose is all about the hops. Hops are an enticing mix of navel oranges and ripe peaches, combining to give a ripe, fresh fruit juiciness. Hints of rising bread dough lend support to the beer’s overall hoppiness. These two elements of clean, simple malt and ripe, juicy hops give Fjord a pleasing nose any hop lover should enjoy.
As for the flavor and mouthfeel, Fjord NEIPA is smooth, and medium bodied. There’s a gentle, spritzy carbonation helping give support and structure to the beer’s flavors. Bready malt flavors come in first, giving a platform for the upcoming hop blast. As with the nose, the hops are all ripe fruit juiciness. Hop flavors start with slightly bitter flavors of orange before moving into more generic flavors of pear and ripe stone fruit. All of this leads into a lingering dry, bitter finish.
It’s very much what a New England IPA should be. There’s a huge hop presence that is all about ripe, fresh fruit. Malt profiles take a back seat, giving a simple platform for the hops to stand on and be the star of the show. Well worth checking out, and one of the better examples of the style.

Love the artwork on the can of mountains.
Appearance - Pours a hazy apricot with four fingers of frothy white head that leaves poofy lace on the glass.
Smell - citrus and tropical hops, citrus and orange peel, pineapple, apricot, and earthy yeast.
Taste - citrus and tropical hops upfront. The citrus and orange peel, pineapple, apricot, and other tropical follow suit. The earthy yeast rounds out the brew.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes sticky with the tropical fruits lingering.
Overall - A tropical fruit forward NE IPA. This brew is sessionable considering the ABV. A refreshing brew that is chalk full of flavour.
