Can, from Nikki's @ Providence, RI. Pours hazy dark orange with large foamy off-white head, slightly resinous orange peel aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter orange peel taste with resin flavor, thin body, long finish. Flavor profile was identical with another IPA by the same company, the Rhoderage IPA, but only weaker in constitution.

Got in a trade with spelingchampeon. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 6/14/2018. Pours very hazy deep golden orange/amber color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Mild pine, zesty, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.7%. Overall this is a very nice NEIPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish, great soft feel. Nice Galaxy/Citra profile. Very juicy and lightly dank/earthy hop complexity; balanced wheat/oat/malts, not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.
