Poured from 16oz can into my Belvárosi sörfesztivál tulip. No date on the can that I can identify.

Appearance: medium yellow hue with a rather murky haze and a finger of frothy ivory foam atop.

Smell: sweet, but wonderfully fruity, with a bewitching combination of juicy stone fruits and tropical passionfruit and guava. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!

Taste: malt is sweet and the flavor is not quite as intense as the aroma. The character still has a soft stone fruit element, but also pineapple and passionfruit. It doesn't entirely live up to the aroma, but it's still damn good.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a rich carbonation and a very smooth, satisfying creaminess. Excellent.

Overall: an absolutely rock-solid hazy. The brewer just calls this a "DDH India Pale Ale", but by flavor and execution, it's definitely a NEIPA.

one of the best hoppy beers ive had all year, seriously, its downright insanely unique on the hop side, amazingly dry hoppy and pungent, and its pretty hazy and fuller too, shocking its as low alcohol as it is, but the hop intensity is amazing, the freshness is popping, and this is on the edge of unforgettable for me, enjoyed on tap at their queen anne location, been wanting to go there for as long as ive known about it and it was rad to finally do it. rather dense looking, creamy pale orange looking, opaque and without a lot of head or visible carbonation. the hop profile zings with this one, mandarin oranges from the can, fresh white coconut flesh, zested lemon, lime flavored weed gummy, and just a hint of vanilla among the malt starchiness and more intense hop layers, very compelling, very fresh, entirely unique to me, done with rakau and waimea, double dry hopped, probably the most intense expression of either varietal ive ever had, both in aroma and in the taste. as it warms up they move into peach and white wine to me, white peach but like straight up bellini vibes to me, which reads summer, yet there is enough body to this to stand up to chilly seattle november weather too, and drinking it now does not feel out of season. i love that its as low alcohol as it is with this much hop flavor, impressive, and its not forced and green, this is smooth, aided by all the starch from the grain, raw and protein rich, wheat and oats both seem likely, quite dense overall, but it works to sort of extend and cream up the hops, absolutely fantastic. maybe a little light on bubbles but i cant really critique this much, dynamite hop profile. fast fashion continues to impress, and this is my favorite from them to date...
