Sample at the brewpub. Cloudy dark golden color with a medium bone white head that recedes gradually to a film. Herbal hops, citrus and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of resiny hops, tropical fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a lingering fruity hop aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Draft at HOMES. Pours a hazy slightly murky gold with a finger of foam that dissipates. Leafy hops with dank citrus, mango, dragon fruit and lychee. More dank as it warms. Leafy bitterness, pine and citrus pith. Mango skin that lingers.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 1/21/2019. Pours opaquely hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 2 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, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, woody, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/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-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8%. Overall this is an awesome NEDIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV, with the mildly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Great soft feel, and not aggressive. Awesome Idaho 7, Citra, Cascade profile. Super juicy, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a great balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and spot on NE style example as expected.

Tap@Mikkeller Viktoriagade (Michigan TTO 16/02/2019) - very hazy yellow to orange coloured pour with a white head. Intense juicy fruity action with waves of tropical fruit, pulpy mango, tangerine, splash of grapefruit, touch of citrus peel, medium body, lingering fruity and medium bitter into the robust hoppy finish. Gorgeous, went down a treat.
