Brewed in honor of our 1st Anniversary. This NEIPA has been copiously dry-hopped with Citra, Mosaic and El Dorado. Super soft mouth-feel, and huge aromas of ripe grapefruit, mango and melon

Pours a pale yellow. Thick foam. Tropical fruit aroma. Super sweet tropical body. Tastes artificial. Too sweet. Light bitter finish. Not bad but not great.

On tap at Belt Line Brewery in Buffalo, NY.

This one pours a mostly clear golden orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells mildly malty, with some marijuana, pine, and grapefruit.

This is a pretty basic West Coast-ish style IPA, with just a hint of malt character, but a nice clean bitterness, and just a touch of orange and grapefruit. It's nothing mind-blowing, but it's a reasonable enjoyable pour.

This is light bodied, clean, with a smooth bitterness on the back end.

This is pretty solid, but ultimately unremarkable.

The yellow-orange can pour is cloudy with a 2 cm foam cap and tropical fruit aroma.
The flavor is full and fantastic. Mango, guava and grapefruit zest are most prominent.
The mouthfeel is very smooth.
This is a superb NEIPA.

Draft Pour at the brewery. Dark orange yellow color in the glass. Nice tropical fruits in the nose. Light feeling in the mouth and with a easy sipping citrus taste on the tongue. Very smooth NE IPA. Fruit gets more pronounced as it warms.
