The fragrant aromas are malt, citrus, onions, a little sweat and cat pee. A slight hint of MJ. Flavors are similar to nose. A little on the street side with plenty of bitter and okay carbonation to balance. Juicy. Could easily have more of this.

Canned 12/5/25, drunk 2/12/26.
Smells lightly juicy with some light pine and light grapefruit. Definitely not a full-on yeasty juice bomb with a good nod to the bittering hop. Clean and bright and aromatic, though, with no resin, alcohol or overly sugary malt.
Juicy but drying out quickly and somewhat dulling via a very wood-like character. Wood, pine, grapefruit and fruity yeast with typical Citra-like juiciness bolstering the stronger hop character. It never gets run away bitter or piney/pithy, though. And it's a lovely, chewy, fluffy texture with good attenuation. Strikes a nice balance between an NEIPA and a WC. Obviously leaning more towards the former, but mostly avoiding the pitfalls of both.
