16oz (thx, Brian C.!). Appearance: murky golden with a white head. Aroma: strange onion notes, citruses, with some tropical fruits. Taste: along the same lines, very juicy with some juice. Overall: it's definitely not my taste profile, but there are definitely lots of folks who would enjoy it.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 8/29/2019. Pours opaquely hazy deep golden/green/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention,m 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, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, onion, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and bready malt notes with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, onion, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, onion, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready/grainy, and fairly sticky/resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Mild increasing warmth of 9.1%, with no lingering hop burn after the finish. Overall this is an amazing NEDIPA. All around amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the big ABV, with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish; awesome soft/silky feel. Amazing Waimea/Columbus profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy hops; with a nice sized 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. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of foam that dissipates. Pungent citrus focused nose with peach, melon, stone fruit and light berry aromas. Big citrus on the palate. Tropical fruit. Low bitterness with tons of tropical fruit that lingers. Balanced between sweet, fruity notes and light pine. Silky smooth and no trace of the abv.
