Can from Corti Bros. Pours hazy, grapefruit color with a white head. Hazy, but the can doesn't claim credit for it. Called Alligator, but the head shown on can seems to be a deer. Aroma is tropical and gave my nose a twang. Lots of hop. Med body. It's not NEIPA juicy, just very fruity. I'm pushing it out as mango, pineapple and/or passion fruit, and some citrus. Pale malt support. Reasonably dry. Decently bitter. New school. Tastes good.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated November 27, 2019. Aroma is hop forward with nice complimentary malt notes. Lots of tropical citrus, guava, pineapple, mango and lighter pine and resin notes. Light cracker malt notes with a light spicy, malt profile as well. Faint alcohol note. Pours a hazy, dull, dusty, golden straw color with a medium large, thick, fluffy white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Moderately high lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes and a hint of spicy grains as well. Moderate bitterness and light alcohol notes. Lots of tropical citrus, guava, pineapple, stone fruit and lighter pine and resin. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice IPA. Solid hop notes with a background malt profile that adds nice characteristics to the flavor and aroma profile.

16 ounce can. Pours a very hazy orange color with a small white head. An interesting nose, big herbal notes, chamomile, some oranges. The flavor is similar with big chamomile, vanilla, light lemon, husky. Very good.

Got in a trade with RaulMondesi. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours very hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of huge tangerine, orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, strawberry, mango, melon, citrus zest, wheat, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Incredible aromas with amazing complexity and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, strawberry, mango, melon, citrus zest, wheat, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Absolutely zero bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, strawberry, mango, melon, citrus zest, wheat, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors. Minimal dryness and no cloying sweetness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and creamy/silky/grainy mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is a fantastic NEIPA! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; extremely smooth and pretty refreshing to drink with the lack of any bitterness. This is definitely one of the softest in the style I have had yet, drinks like a fruit smoothie. Huge orange juice vibrancy in the nose. Extremely juicy Simcoe/Amarillo hop showcase; with perfect oat/spelt/malt balance. Not overly sweet. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Can into a snifter showing hazy straw with sparse clean white foam. The nose shows moderately intense notes of pineapple and cannabis. The palate is medium bodied and well carbonated. Moderately intense flavours of orange and pineapple with a moderate NE style malt backbone.

Hazy light white golden color. Tons of pineapples and breadfruit notes. Very juicy with pineapples, white gummy bears, orange juice. Modest bitterness. Nice stuff
