Cloudy medium orange body, thin discontinous cream head. Aroma lychee, melon, stone fruits, and pine. Body is soft with elements of lychee, stone fruits, berries, citrus, melon, candy cigarettes, and catty notes and a has a crisp, bitter orange peel and pine bite. It's like a cleaner and more refined version of the retired Bell's Official.

Draft at Drafting Table. Pours a milky, glowing straw gold color with a finger of foam that lingers. Fresh sliced mango and pine aromas. Some lychee as it warms. Light bodied with some dank and prickly pear. Tropical fruit salad finish. Solid haze.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 12/19/2017. Pours slightly hazy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of huge apricot, orange, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon, lime, citrus zest, slight pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Incredible aromas with amazing complexity of fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge apricot, orange, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon, lime, citrus zest, slight pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Pretty much zero bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of apricot, orange, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon, lime, citrus zest, slight pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with no cloying sweetness after the finish. Very mild dryness from lingering hop oils. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 6.8%. Overall this is an amazing NEIPA! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and insanely easy to drink with with the very minimal bitterness. Even without any haze, this nails the style. Insanely juicy tropical/stone fruit hop complexity; balanced malts without being overly sweet/heavy feeling. A highly amazing offering.
