Pretty good NEIPA, awash in lime and grapefruit and passion fruit, accentuated by melon and mango, with a earthy hop backbone and modest toasty malt graininess to eek out a bit of balance against the hops. Passion fruit and earth on the nose, while the pour comes out a ultra-hazed yellow-gold with a modest white head and decent lacing. Too slack, though; texture's weak and undercarbonated, which leads to a yeasty tart note hanging on the palate in the fade. Very drinkable, but nothing defining within the style.

2018 February can release. Big pineapple, dank nose with lingering citrus peel and catpiss. Crisp and clean, light bodied and easy drinking. More dank and pineapple. Minimal hopburn. Big improvement over the first batch last year. Summer 2017 rating: Tap at the source. Pours a slightly cloudy orange with 2 finger of soapy head. Piney, clear resinous, citrus pith. Quite bitter on the palate. Doesn’t really come together that well, but drinkable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Look At These Sticks on 12 Aug 2017 at 22:25 - Score: 7.
