Can. Beer Merchants online. 8.2%. Packaged end of January. Fully hazy custard yellow. Slim sticky film of white. Nose has pineapple flesh and pulp. Well ripened orange. Malts are clean. Maybe a whiff of milky oats. Taste has a slight sweetness with a decent pop of orange and grapefruit pithy bitterness. Drinks slick and smoothie like. Good depth of bitterness to finish.

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.

Tap at Billie’s on Saturday. Gondolom ez nagy durranas lehetett, amikor piacra kerult, most azert inkabb egy mar-mar a nagyuzemiseg hataran egyensulyozo, decens, de majdhogynem erdektelensegbe fullado sor

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.
