Can (1/15/26) from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Cloudy, milky yellow, tons of large white floaties, no sparkle, ample head with good retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, grape, candied citrus. Taste is strong grapefruit, grape, citrus. Smooth, frothy, silky texture, soft carbonation, lightly yeasty, slightly bitter finish.

16 oz can. Older can date. Aroma is a bouquet of soft fruits. Peach, mango, and maybe a little bit of white grape. Flavor follows the aroma with the addition of mild pineapple and a soft floral finish.
Has a tremendous amount of hop flavors and goes down smoothly. Medium body with some juicy texture. Real nice!

Can to tulip.
Appearance is as pictured.
Aroma: soft white grapey-toned hops with pineapple, mango and apricot hop notes with a stealthy little malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a sweet to bittersweet quality with a little zing of citrusy zest; finishes leaning into the apricot and pineapple hop notes and seems to level out and become slightly juicy
Texture: medium bodied - maybe just a touch under; good sessionability to this; good smoothness and nothing upsetting the flow; nice low carb and good low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: a very nicely done NEIPA very worthy of returning to.
