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.

(Draught at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 11 Aug 2023) Cloudy yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of tropical fruit, mango, pineapple, orange and passion-fruit. Fruity, hoppy taste with mango, pineapple, citrus, orange, peaches, grass, white bread and a gentle citric/tropical bitterness. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Fresh and juicy, with a soft malt profile and a rich hop presence, but not very bitter. Great balance. School book example of a Double NEIPA. Lovely beer!
