A totally murky and light yellow beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has mango, grapefruit, mandarin, light pineapple. Taste has mango, grapefruit, light pineapple, strong hoppyness, some bitterness, light fructose. Medium+ bodied. Pretty nicely balanced, not too sweet because of nice bitterness. Great beer.

473 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 7.8%. Hazy yellow colour, large white head. Strong and pleasant aroma of various citrus fruits, yellow stonefruits and tropical fruits. Rich and medium sweet flavour with the same elements, but unlike many double NEIPAs there is also a respectable bitterness. Not overdone, though.

Tap. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is citrus fruits goodness, pineapple, a dash dank, but mostly good fruit salad. Taste is the same, soft oats and fruit juice. Soft mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Very, very good!

4-pack from the Beverage Baron in Barre, VT. Hazy golden-orange colour with some bigger particles going to the bottom. Off-white head with average retention, streaks of lacing, and a little foam on top of the brew left. The aromas are quite fruity with some orange juices and mango notes. The taste is smooth with lots of orange juices, a little citrus zest creating a building dryness. The mouthfeel is wet before this, with the alcohol well-hidden. Quite a nice refreshing, citrusy DIPA that is smooth.

Can from Total Wine & More, San Antonio. Cloudy yellow, stable, frothy, white head. Aroma of peach, papaya, pineapple, tangerine, rambutan, bread crust, shallot, pepper, vague cheese. Taste has sweet peach, pineapple & mango, sourish citrus zest over doughy maltiness with spicy and softly dank notes. Floral & peppery hoppy finish, lingering pithy citrus, juicy stone fruit and onion. Medium to full body, creamy texture, average carbonation. Very satisfying brew, but not as 'surprising' as the Pseudo Sue was when I first encountered that one.
