Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: hazy burnt yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace to leave some mild messy lace
Aroma: tropical fruity, floral and semi-grassy hoppiness with a clean doughy malt
Flavor: fairly bittersweet - maybe a touch more leaning towards the bitter with the prior noted aromas; mild aftertaste of the tropical fruits and floral hops
Texture: medium bodied with some sessionability about it, some smoothness but also with a little bit of hop spice harshness; keen finish of smooth tropical hoppiness and doughy malts
Overall: nice enough NEIPA, I believe I could come back to.

Tropical, smooth, fruity. Slight bitterness on the end, well balanced with a light floral aftertaste. Also first from this brewery for me, will have again!

Can at home shared with Laura.unvlear yellow color, medium sized white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, hops, decently fruity, but I miss some bitterness. This is okay but it doesn't really please me tbh. Too sweet.

Very hazy golden coloured body with a beautiful raw honey glow and a thick, three to four centimetre tall tan head that stays up nicely. Aroma of pungent fruits - tangerines, kumquats, mangoes, kiwi and even a dash of bitter grapefruit, all with a malt note and some flowers toward the finish. Medium to Full-bodied; Very strong chewy malt at first with a heavy bite of tropical and especially citrus fruits that all show nicely and provide a sweet, but complex and filling taste. Aftertaste is rich, very fruity, slightly pungent with a touch of bitterness from the hops and a little alcohol note towards the end, but very juicy, slightly floral, all with a great balance of malt and still very easy-drinking, somehow. Overall, a great, simple drinking yet complex, sweet yet bitter and fruity yet floral New England IPA - when I drink a 'new school' IPA, this is what I'd expect to be getting in the package. This one was great to try, especially super fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 18-September-2020 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington, just a few minutes later on 18-September-2020.
