Canned 3/12/26, drunk 5/7/26.
Good lord that's a lot of...stinky pineapple and intense yeast? Like a very overripe, twangy pineapple, while also leaning in to an incredibly fruity yeast. Some lime, lots of mineral, candied citrus and a round, somewhat sweet, white bread-like maltiness. All of it gives a lot of intensity, but I'm not sure to much success, as the twang is real. That said, even after a few minutes, it's blown off rapidly and I get more of a lime tart character underneath.
Lime-accented peach and canned pineapple, but not twangy, just sort of sweet and overripe. Rather loose texture, but pretty good attenuation. Earth, chalk, yeast on the finish dulls things considerably. The lime zest character (or maybe it's more like preserved lime) is really interesting and compelling, and it has a pretty good body and attenuation, but it's a bit loose and watery and finishes too abruptly. Also, it drinks like it's about 5% or so. I've had NEPAs with considerable more flavor, complexity and texture than this.

Draft at Paragon, 5/1/26. Hazy lighter orange color with a thin head and light lace. Grainy, grass, orange, melon, pineapple notes, and a little mango. Slightly sticky, slightly sweet. Solidly flavorful. Okay mouthfeel. Just kinda weird overall.

Bottom of the can stamped 03/09/2026.
Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: glossy burnt yellow-ed orangey cardboard haziness with about a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light sticky lace
Aroma: sticky grapefruity to orangey pulpy hop scents up first then some light lemony bittersweet rind-like hoppiness, slight peachy skin tones but not tart - super slightly sweet I guess, only caught the lime - hop notes after about a good 20 minutes of letting the beer open up more
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas in a slightly candied sweet vibe underscored by a light non-offensive bitterness; finishes with a looming orangey to lemony to peachy candy sweetness and juicy
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper - slightly; some smoothness - good flow - nothing burdensome
Overall: a pretty nicely done NEDIPA very worthy of returning to.

*it's North of the 8.0 but not a 8.1 if that makes any sense to anyone possibly reading this.
