Good NEIPA, if a bit standard, with enormous amounts of melon, stone fruit, and citrus juiciness offset by a moderate base of cracker malts. Slightest bit of sweetness accentuates the hop juice, while the finish has pretty much no bitterness whatsoever, kind of a letdown even if the description promises as much. (Call me an old fogey, but an IPA needs an angry back end.) Pours a hazed gold with a brief white head and moderate lacing. Doesn't quite reach the pillowy feel the style demands, but comes close. Not a bad pint.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a hazy gold with 2 fingers of foam that lingers. Citrus forward nose w/ lemon and sweet tarts, pineapple and tangerine. Balanced, light bodied. Crushable. Low bitterness with some more sweet tart notes on the finish. Clean and well-executed.
