Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy earthy yellow with a hint of gold and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a mango and citrus combination with a sweet grain backbone. Flavor has a bit more dank citrus with some mango and sweet grains in the finish.

16oz (thx, Brian C.!). Appearance: dirty golden with a white head. Aroma: nice tropical fruits, a bit dry. Taste: along the same lines, moderately dry and juicy. Overall: good one.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 8/29/2019. Pours opaquely hazy deep golden/amber, light orange/green color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, cherry, strawberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, white bread dough, biscuit, and light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, cherry, strawberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, white bread dough, biscuit, and light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, cherry, strawberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, wheat, white bread dough, biscuit, and light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warmth of 6.5%, or lingering hop burn. Overall this is an incredible NEIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish; fantastic soft feel. Amazing MI Copper, Citra profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing spot on style example as expected.

Draft at HOMES and can at home. Cans were better than draft imo. Pours a thick, hazy gold with a finger of creamy off-white foam that lingers. Soft, creamy tropical fruit nose with tons of mango, citrus and great yeast work. Juicy and smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Lychee, dank, pine notes all meld well on the palate. Lingering pine and tropical fruit. Killer.
