We begin our 5th year this month, and this baby is here to celebrate! Loaded with Galaxy and Amarillo and sporting a dense golden haze, it oozes notes of mango, pineapple and orange. Slight bitterness and lacing will linger on your palate and glass, respectively. This is our thanks to you for all of your support through our first four years, we hope for many more!

From a pint can marked BATCH #3 PKG 08/18/20. Double-dumbass on me for letting this can sit in my frige 3 months before reviewing it.
Poured into my tulip glass this beer is an opaque pineapple juice shade with a creamy 2 finger off white head. Lots of creamy fluffy sticky lace around the glass.
Scent is primarily tropical fruits with some spicy and oniony hop notes and what I think is a hint of pine oil.
Taste follows the nose and adds a hint of orange and a touch of biscuit in the background. Tropical fruit grapefruit and citrus.
Mouthfeel is ever so slightly chalky though not in a bad way.
Overall a very good DIPA which I can tell would have been even better fresher.

This beer reveals full flavors with warming: tropical fruit and citrus.
Nice color cloudy golden with a 4F head.
Not too hoppy.
Excellent NEIPA.

Batch # 2 8/10/20
Hazy medium orangey-yellow, with one finger of creamy white head.
Smell is creamy orange and pineapple. Some unripe peach from the open can.
Taste is grapefruit pith, unripe peach, orange juice, and slight pineapple. Moderate bitterness , that lingers past finish, along with the grapefruit pith flavor.
Feel is light-side of medium, slightly creamy, with moderate, finely-prickly carbonation.
Overall, another good one from Industrial Arts.

look: glowing hazy orange, thin white head
smell: melon, orange
taste: hoppy as hell. pungent, orange peel, grapefruit, mango, no malt, just overpowered juice.
feel: fluffy, smooth, soft, dry and bitter finish.
overall: a supper juicy and hoppy beer, it's a little extreme, maybe imbalanced, only for hardcore neipa lovers.
