Hazy yellow in appearance with plenty of foam in the goblet. Big aroma of mango and lime is the best feature. Oddly water in the mouth with a sharp edge. Total fruit bomb with canned mango nectar, orange, and lime peel. Moderate bitterness with an astringent aftertaste. This seems less mucky than most hazy IPAs but is so overly fruit juiced. Grows more acidic as you sip. An average but at least drinkable NEIPA.

I had this beer on tap in a tulip at Ridgewood Bottle & Tap in Seattle.

Appearance: light yellow hue with plenty of haze and a finger of eggshell foam atop. Really pretty.

Smell: nicely sweet malt with a classic watered-down-orange-juice aroma. Not bad.

Taste: lightly sweet malt with nice grapefruit and orange flavors. Bitterness maybe a little high for a hazy, maybe, but I think overall it works well.

Mouthfeel: medium light body with a good carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: a solid hazy. Nothing really new here, but well-made and refreshing.
