Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: thick orange haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapples, mangoes, sweet onions, and grapefruit; light clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a bright juicy bittersweet to slightly danky quality; finishes mango to sweet oniony to grapefruity
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper; smooth along the tongue; some hop bitterness is assertive but not too much
Overall: very nicely done NE styled DIPA well worthy of returning to.

Draft at beer culture on 45th. Cloudyish pour. Citrus, hops, honestly maybe the best neipa on history. Balanced like it's walking a tightrope.

Аромат прям очень вкусный и яркий. Много и фруктов и цитрусов, некий баланс я бы сказал. Цветя ярко желтый, весьма мутный, отличная белая пенка. Вкус тоже вроде бы и хорош, но снова как у многих олдовых американцев слегка мешает излишняя горечь на финише. А так много фрукто, есть и мякоть от цитрусовых. Легкая сухость. В целом весьма сбалансированно, но топ ли это сейчас?

Can from BiervanEijk, Frederiksoord. Aroma is citrussy with lots of orange, some oniony dankness, fruity hops, some pine. Notes of tropical fruits with grapefruit and a touch of mango. Medium bitter, some sweetness. Medium body. Excellent.

Murky pineapple-apricot smoothie body, medium to thick, puffy off-white to cream head. Nose bright, juicy citrus, including orange, tangerine, and lime, in addition to pineapple. Body is a tangy-sweet blast of citrus and pineapple, with some fleshier sweet elements providing a modest anchor. Originally rated 7-4-8-4-15 on Ratebeer (May 4, 2021), but I'm sipping this now and think it belongs in my upper echelon of hazy IIPAs.
