Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy orange with a bright yellow hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has a nice bright citrus with a bit of mango and some sweet grains supporting. Flavor has a nice mango and citrus combination with a hint of rind and light flora underlying.

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours opaquely hazy golden/amber/light green color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of huge tangerine, orange juice, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, grapefruit, lemon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Amazing complexity robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, honey, and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, grapefruit, lemon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, grapefruit, lemon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, honey, and bready malt flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium-plus carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is amazing. Zero warming alcohol for 8.5%. Overall this is an amazing NEDIPA! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the ABV, with the minimally bitter/drying finish. Amazingly soft/pillowy feel. Amazing Citra/Mosaic profile. Insanely juicy hops with slight dankness; perfectly balanced honey/wheat/oat/malts; not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A highly amazing offering, and top tier style example.

Pint can pours with a murky opaque dull copper to gold body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up all kinds of fruitiness like peach, apricot, cantaloupe, mango, guava and a sweet oat sensation. The taste delivers soft sweet juicy mango, cantaloupe, guava, peach and a bit of ripe clementine. Underneath the juicy hoppiness is a base of malts and thin cracker like maltiness. I really enjoy the way the soft juiciness blends with the malts. Nice balance with minimal hop bitterness. Dude.
