Got in a trade with larryi86. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 8/21/2019. Pours very hazy deep golden amber color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large 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, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. Mild pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a fantastic malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an amazing NEIPA. All around amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and pretty refreshingly with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish; fantastic soft feel. Amazing Mosaic, Citra, Chinook, Centennial and Columbus profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly amazing offering, and top tier style example. Loved the hop profile as expected.

Can pour into shaker pint glass shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Appearance is cloudy, orange-yellow with decent sparkle at the edges of the glass, 2-finger width rocky white foamy head with good retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is strong lemony citrus, more moderate grapefruit and pine. Taste is strong but more balanced between the citrus, grapefruit and pine with a hint of herb. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with good balance between sweet and bitter. Overall, scores high across the board. A nice NEIPA.

Pours hazy dark straw into a shaker. Bright white micro head with good retention recedes leaving soapy and gloppy lacing. Hot pineapple and mango aromas. Sharp with mango and pineapple upfront turning to passion fruit and dry dusty tropical fruit skin and pith in the lasting finish.
