Pours a hazy (i mean lots of haze) golden color with a big foamy head. Aroma is actually pretty clean, some hops and mild fruit (I get pinapple) but it's pretty faint which feels weird of a NEIPA. Taste is similar and I feel like the pineapple again really comes through with almost a little tartness to it. Mouthfeel is really really smooth but I feel like the bitterness that you'd expect of the style is lacking. Overall still a really solid beer, and honestly I think I'd enjoy it more if the sun were shining today; maybe well have to put that to the test. Cheers!

I got a 4pck of this beer from my local beer store just around the corner. It poured a hazy orangish with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had citrus peel spice notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with tropical citrus presence with spice hints. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall its a solid beer.

 

On tap at Mule Bar

From can Oct 2019

Pours almost a glowing, deep yellow... understated nose of One of the more unique flavored hazy ipas I’ve had- so many tropical fruits present: pineapple, papaya, lemon, passion fruit- I’m sure there are tons I’m missing.

Very balanced, not overly sweet like so many hazys are today with the muddled over-ripe fruit thing working. This stays solidly in line with ipa style (vs a fruit beer) with some astringent funk on the back end. Really well done overall.

Poured from 16oz can into a dimpled mug. No clear packaging date on the can.

Appearance: light yellow-orange hue with lots of murk, crowned by two fingers of frothy eggshell foam. Very nice.

Smell: earthy, herbal, dank, piney hops, with kind of an astringent base. The overall effect gives a bit of an orange pith character; not bad, but not exactly exceptional, either.

Taste: herbal, dank, earthy, and citrusy. The hop character has something in it I don't like, though -- almost a sourness or herbalness that I associate with off-flavors. Maybe it's just me, but it's just not my jam.

Mouthfeel: medium-rich body with a huge mouthfeel. One of the creamiest IPAs I've ever tasted.

Overall: I am really trying to like this beer. The creaminess is out-of-this-world, but something about the hop characteristics are just totally off for me. It's not awful, but -- I wouldn't get a second, that's for sure.

 

 

 

 

 

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned in 9/2019. Pours opaquely hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, biscuit, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, biscuit, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, biscuit, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an awesome NEIPA. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish; great soft feel for the style. Awesome Citra/Mosaic profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a great balancing wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressively spot on style example. Loved the hop profile as expected.
