Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 21B: NEIPA). Can 35 cl - Batch not marked (BBF not marked - Canned on 09/08/20 ? ). AROMA: medium to medium-high hop aroma with notes of pineapple, lime, green mango and slight pine. medium-low malt background, neutral, and slightly sweet. APPEARANCE: light gold color and just slightly hazy. medium-low ehite head, creamy, with good retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with medium-high hop notes (pine, lime, grapefruit and green mango). medium-low neutral malt background and slightly sweet. medium-high bitterness with am almost dry finish. MOUTHFEEL: medium body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: a NEIPA a bit on the bitter side, resembling more a standard IPA.

Can. Not þat hazy gold wiþ a fading white head. Gentle, rather antiseptic citrus, tropical and pine aroma. Lightish bodied, medium to low carbonation. Sweet wiþ raþer flabby malt before more resin þan fruit leads to a moderately bitter end. Dull. Packed September, maybe didn't travel.

Six pack of cans picked up at a liquor store in Mission Viejo. Last can of the pack. Pours thick with juicy orange haze. Smooth foam head. Tropical fruit nose here, stone fruit and a little pineapple. Very juicy first impression there. Gritty grain profile to start, smooth melon and tropical fruit follows without being too sweet or overpowering. I would have guessed this was brewed with fruit. Very impressionable hop profile. Refreshing taste. A solid six pack to pick up and enjoy over the last week or so.

Fully hazy orange beer under a dense, bit fluffy and lacey white head. Sulphur, DMS in high concentration, making it seafruit-salty smelling. Bit of orange peel, H²S even. The sulphur proves volatile, but all the same... Warm orange, orangepeel. Still some sulphur, if less, and also a bit mineral, near-salty. Dry straw in the finish. Light to medium bodied, and quite slick, even bit viscous. Good carbonation. Oxydation?(according to another taster), DMS, other sulphur component? Whatever, nose is a disaster.

Can from Madison in Dana Point. Hazy golden straw pour with thick chunky white head. Aroma is bright citrus slightly tropical hops. Taste is bright citrus bitterness, mild bread malt. Simple but good hazy IPA. More citrus than juicy. Would happily have again.
