Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: thick orange to copper color with a two finger white foamy head which tapered off delicately to leave some light lace
Aroma: passion fruit, honeydew and grapefruit hoppy notes with a clean malt base
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes brisk with a light hop zest and grapefruit vibe overshadowing a quick passion fruity glance
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also some hop assertiveness - not really anything to get worked up about, just noticeable
Overall: mostly a nicely done NEIPA I could come back to.

16 oz can from Metuchen Buy Rite, 5/31/22. Nice golden-orange color with a large, foamy off-white head. Pine, peach, lemon, and orange. Bit of spice, rind notes. Finishes with a bit if a spearmint thing I can't quite place. Solidly dry. Tingly on the tongue.

Can bought at BD Tower Hill. Aroma of tart stone fruit and pine. Hazy - if not overly so - pale gold. Frothy translucent white head. Medium-heavy bitter. Tart stonefruit, resin and spice. The resin gradually dominates. Medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. The can promises hops and it delivers.

Can. An unclear golden beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of lemons, peaches, pine, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, dust, spices, and malt, leading to a bitter finish. Boring - and definately not an IPA!
