‘Imperial’ NEIPA made in collaboration between two breweries, one English and one American, that are strongly associated with the style; can from an organic shop in Aberdeen. Even-bubbled but loosely knit, off-white, open ‘head’ quickly dissolving into nothing; milky yellow robe with ochre tinge, turning beige in the end. Aroma of fresh orange juice and honey pomelo flesh, Screwdriver, passionfruit lemonade, diesel, gin, fresh milk, raw green bell peppers, green guava, leek, dried lemon zest, hints of old cheddar and freshly cut garden weeds (thistles). Juicy onset but far less sweet than expected, hinting at freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, green kiwi and even kiwi berry, with unripe guava and prickly pear at the sides; soft carb, full ‘milky’ and creamy body. Doughy pale maltiness under a notably grapefruity, ‘green-weedy’ hoppiness, adding rather above average bitterness for this style yet without hindering the juiciness; the bitterness is likely a bit accentuated by warming, wodka-ish alcohol, which otherwise admittedly behaves decently. Retronasal notes of maracuja, guava and pond water pass by along with sweaty, dank elements placing this creation firmly in the NEDIPA / NETIPA range. More ‘green’ and grapefruity than I tend to expect from this style, less sweet and tropical, but still very much ‘juice’ – so I am sure it appeals to many present-day haze boys.

440ml can. Murky, yellow-ish, golden colour with minimally late awakening, small to average, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Leafy-grassy, resinous, piney and tropical fruity hoppy aroma, oaty and minimally wheaty malty background, notes of pine, resin, white grapes, some passion fruit, kiwi fruit, a touch of orange, whiffs of sweat and purulence, floral honey. Taste is moderately bitter, piney, resinous, slightly grassy and fruity hoppy, oaty and slightly wheaty malty basis, notes of white grapes, resin, some unspecific tropical fruit, a touch of orange, orange peel, zesty bitterness, minimally alcoholic bitterness, overtones of sweat and purulence, floral honey, hay; minimally warming, alcoholic finish.
Very oily, slightly creamy texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy and cloying, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, soft carbonation.
Rich and complex, multifacetted, intense but not condensed, definitely broad, unfolded, escalating and seemingly light - first to last sip an object of investigation worth to fathom another subtlety.
