16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but was just released. Pours Very hazy/cloudy deep orange/amber, light reddish/pink color with a 1 finger 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 big juicy/lightly tart/tangy blueberries, tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, vanilla, cream, brown sugar, marshmallow, wheat, and biscuit dough; with light notes of cinnamon, allspice, peppercorn, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, blueberries, sugars, and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/lightly tart/tangy blueberries, tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, vanilla, cream, brown sugar, marshmallow, wheat, and biscuit dough; with light notes of cinnamon, allspice, peppercorn, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness; and spicy cinnamon/allspice on the finish. Lingering notes of blueberries, tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, vanilla, cream, brown sugar, marshmallow, wheat, biscuit dough, light cinnamon/pepper/pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, blueberries, sugars, and bready malt flavors; with a solid malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.6%. Overall this is a fantastic flavored milkshake NEIPA. All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, blueberries, sugars, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV, with the mildly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Fantastic soft feel. Fantastic balanced juicy/light dank Citra hops, blueberries, sugars, and wheat/oat/malts. Not overly sweet from lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected. Not as much spices as expected, but still just as impressive as their other flavored NEIPAs.
