Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt yellow to stiff orange haziness with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruit rind-like bitterness with piney bitterness; light clean malts
Flavor: leaning into the bitterness a bit more than the sweet side; finishes closer to the bitter side of the hops
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, carb seems a bit higher than expected for the style, some smoothness but also a good dose of invasive bitter astringency
Overall: I believe this is more of an AIPA, not a bad one but if they're looking at this as a NEIPA then they better go back to the drawing board on this one.

Hazy orange colour and small steady white head and lace. Some riped fruits in the nose. Light-bodied. Piney hoppy flavour with underlying tropical fruits. Nice mix of west and east but yeah.
