Cask at GBBF 25. Slightly opaque gold. Frothy foamy white head. Aroma is citrusy and spicy - marmalade. Flavourwise it has the citrus and spice but not overly powerful. Underlying sweet juice. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. A somehow shy and retiring DNEIPA.

Can, from Cambridge Wine & Spirits, Medford MA. Pours hazy rich yellow with small foamy off-white head, lemon-mango aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus-unripe mango taste, thin body long finish. Very nice and easy to drink.

Tallboy. nice pop of the can, good solid hazy pour with big thick bubbles and resilient lacing. Looks like a golden orange hazy beer but not milkshake levels thank god. ooh that smells good like fresh squeezed OJ. nice work! carb is dense, thick and champagne like. fruity juicy with pine cone and tangerine. lovely finish with some pine resin. nice job guys!

Draft at Tip Tap Room, Boston. The beer menu states it is 9.3%. Cloudy bright yellow in color. Aroma is weak tropical fruit and mild pine. The flavor follows with a low bitterness. Citrus, pine, tropical notes. Some juicy texture.
Body and carbonation are correct. The main issue I have with this is the 9.3 % ABV slapped me in the face. Almost a punch in the face. So much so it downgrades the overall enjoyment.

Taster at the source pours hazy lemon with a thin white head. Aromas of dank citrus scallion grain and pine. Taste is bitter citrus pith chalk scallion grass and a lingering bitter finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Solar Plexus on 19 Jan 2017 at 21:23 - Score: 7

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Hot mango and guava aromas. Hot with caramel mocha and tropical fruit upfront turning to sour resin in the lasting finish.
