Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark burnt orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: big citrusy and big piney to huge grapefruity amounts of hops, the malts are super hard to even tell if they are there because of the amounts of hops in this
Flavor: a pure bittersweet conglomeration of all those hops, malts show up here a bit more noticeable but they're clean and more or less just there acting for the balance of it all; mild finish of citrusy & piney hops
Texture: medium bodied, surely this is a sipper; some smoothness but also some noticeable hop bitterness
Overall: pretty nicely done NEDIPA I would have again.
