On Tap at PreFunk Nampa Foggy deep orange with a thin white ring. Mostly piney earthy hop aromas, but the flavors have lots of lime and vanilla. Some sweetness also. Interesting flavor profile. Some late tropical juicy hop notes as well.

Can, from City Beer, NYC. Pours extremely hazy rich yellow-orange, spongy off-white head, faint lime aroma, medium carbonation, initially sweet, medium bitter key lime bomb that goes off in your moth, smooth body, long finish. Flavorful!

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but was just released. Pours very hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. fantastic appearance. Aromas of big juicy, lightly tart/tangy key limes, citrus peel/zest, mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, light peppercorn/pine, vanilla, cream, graham cracker, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of key limes, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, vanilla, lactose, and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge juicy, lightly tart/tangy key limes, citrus peel/zest, mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, light peppercorn/pine, vanilla, cream, graham cracker, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, grassy, spicy bitterness; and lime tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy key limes, citrus peel/zest, mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, light peppercorn/pine, vanilla, cream, graham cracker, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of key limes, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, vanilla, lactose, and bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness, and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and tart/tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky/acidic/tangy mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.2%. Overall this is an incredible fruited milkshake NEIPA! All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of key limes, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, vanilla, lactose, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV, with the mildly bitter/tart/tangy/drying finish; fantastically soft feel. Feels like Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy. Extremely juicy/vibrant key limes/hops, with light dankness; and a perfectly balanced lactose, and wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example. Best one of the series so far.
