Can from Total wine in Gainesville. Pours hazy orange with a soft beige head. Flavor is overly orange zest and lots of resin. Bitter almost rotting hops. Meh.

Can. Just a little cool. Slight haze on yellow orange brew. Pine like aroma. Taste is rubber butyl inner tube. You know what I'm talking about if you own a old harley/. Bitter mouth coating with rubber pine tar taste for a finish. Typical rude IPA style.

Aromaz are resin and both Citrus and tropical fruits. Flavors are a little different starting off more resiny and some fruit in there though I can't put my finger on it and also more bitter transitioning into a little more sweet and some medicinal. Then going into a long bitter finish.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a clear orange gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Light tropical aromas, dank and catpiss on the nose. Body is light with some caramel, pine and peach. Light citrus. Very Stone-esque. Bitter, piney end. I liked it. --- Beer merged from original tick of Mean Squeeze on 19 Apr 2018 at 21:46 - Score: 7.

Pours hazy bright gold into a tulip. White head recedes leaving spot lacing. Dusty lemon aromas. Dark caramel, pineapple and bitter pith front to back. Lasting resin finish.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 3/6/2018. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy golden orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a smals cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, and 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, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, 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 an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an awesome NEIPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and refreshingly easy to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish, never aggressive. Awesome balance of juicy, dank, and vibrant hop complexity; nice bready malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness. A really enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
