Draught at Fermenteria: pours hazy with white head. Dank, grapefruit, papaya, general tropicalness. Taste is sweetish, not super bitter. Has some dankness, as TH often does. Not really much bitterness. pretty solid.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this very slightly dirty looking gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, slightly thin for the style, semi dry and with late emerging fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, just about sweet enough. Light smooth pine hop intro along with a mild nibble of hop spice. Light and reasonably bright orange tempered by a modicum of peel. Touches of tangerine and mandarin. Tangy and slightly bitter citrus with a very stingy side serving of mango. Light crisp finish leaves a bitter and increasingly aggressive hop spice. Nice. It's a bit thin overa but the character of this dipa harks back to post West Coast and pre hazy everything and I dig it. (Maaan!)

On tap at Isaac Newton’s in Newtown, PA. Cloudy orange gold color. Smal creamy beige head. Bready malt aroma hints at tropical fruit. Bittersweet citrus and stone fruit flavors upfront. Red grapefruit, orange, peach and mango come forward. Soft, silky mouthfeel. Boozy notes in middle. Finishes piney and dank. Long, peppery aftertaste.

Got in a trade with larryi86. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 8/29/2019. Pours opaquely hazy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger creamy/rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Mild pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome 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/silky/bready, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8%. Overall this is a fantastic NEDIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV, with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Awesome soft/silky feel, and not aggressive. Fantastic Simcoe showcase. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a nice sized wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding spot on style example. Loved the hop profile as expected.
