Ripe oranges, fresh pineapple and smooth pine. Citra, Mosaic, Idaho 7, Cascade & Centennial hops combine to deliver a powerful lupulin punch, backed by a balanced malt base. Soft haze that leans Northeast-ward, with a moderately-bitter finish for maximum drinkability.

Pours a light lemon haze from a can. Nice fruity aroma and flavor. Somewhat sweet. Good beer.

473ml can. Murky, yellow-ish, bright golden colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Piney, slightly fruity, citrusy, hoppy aroma, notes of pineapple, additionally some rather unspecific fruitiness, peppery yeasty spicy overtones with a touch of mustard. Taste is dry, citrusy fruity and slightly piney hoppy, hints of lemon, woody pineapple, a touch of lime, some zesty aspects, a spicy touch of mustard again. Watery texture, indifferent palate, slightly prickly carbonation. Don't know if the mustard touch I found again is typical for the yeast KCBC usually uses for NEIPAs; but it is seems to be original and simultaneously the only interesting aspect of their brews. The hop flavours are far from spectacular and somehow defamiliarised, maybe due to the interference of the genuine yeast. The two beers tasted so far don't foment supererogatory interest in this brewery.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Crisp juicy citric hops with the splendid Idaho 7 holding it all together because it integrates it's piney tropical loveliness so well with all around it. Crisp pine. Soft juicy orange, tangerine and mandarin. Light mango, a whisper of soft peach. Juicy and bright with just bare hints of some peel. Light finish leaves a mildly spicy linger. Splendiferous, could drink this all night.

Can at home from Trembling Madness. A clear milky orange coloured pour with a decent fine white head. Aroma is super sticky orange, mango, tangy breakfast orange and pineapple. Little bit of rubber on the nose as well. Flavour is composed of big spicy citrus, lemon rind, green mango, floury wheat, light chalk, lingering mellow dank in the finish. Palate is semi sweet, airy prickly carbonation, light resinous hop.
