16oz can via trade, thanks Arturo. Canned 03/15/2019, no BB. Trouble doré, col blanc crémeux. Bouquet agréablement bien fruité versant sur des effluves tropicales - mangue, ananas avec un léger rétro-nasal offrant des notes épicées. Palais est plaisant, houblonné marqué bien fruité tropical, citron vert, agrumes, petite sécheresse de fin de bouche avec une fine note de douceur de grains arrivant en retrait.

Got in a trade with RaulMondesi. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours very hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, apricot, pineapple, red apple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus zest, slight pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, apricot, pineapple, red apple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus zest, slight pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Pretty much zero bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, apricot, pineapple, red apple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus zest, slight pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors. Minimal dryness and no cloying sweetness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and creamy/silky/grainy mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is a fantastic NEIPA! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; extremely smooth and refreshing to drink, with the minimally bitter finish. Amazingly soft feel, one of the softest I've had. Extremely juicy CItra/Azacca hop showcase; with perfect spelt/malt balance. Not overly sweet/heavy. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. Very similar to the Alligator on flavor/mouthfeel.

Pour looks like orange juice with a large white head. Aroma is tropical fruit and some kind of grain. Flavor is steel cut oat type of grain with some minor tropical fruit hops. I have had other beers from this brewer that were a lot better than this. The hops did not really pop out and there is a chewy grain that lingers. Decent at best.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours hazy grapefruit juice with a white head. Aroma is juicy tropical fruits. Med body or better. Flavor is juicy tropical fruits with a slight dank note. Pineapple seems present. And green melon notes. Juicily not too dry, but it is bitter, moderately. Very pleasing.
