16 oz. Aroma is raspberries, cheesecake, floral. Pours murky pale red, like brick dust and milk mixed together or something with a one finger bone-white head with decent retention. Taste is lightly sweet with a moderate herbal bitterness, faintly tart, with flavors of raspberry cheesecake. Pretty tasty and I'm glad it's not cloying sweet.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 10/1/2019. Pours opaquely hazy deep ruby red/orange/copper/green color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good 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 raspberries, fruit skin/seed, tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, cream cheese, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of raspberries, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, cream cheese, lactose, and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big juicy/lightly tart/tangy raspberries, fruit skin/seed, tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, cream cheese, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, spicy bitterness; and berry tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy raspberries, fruit skin/seed, tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, cream cheese, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberries, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, cream cheese, lactose, and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and tart/tangy fruit. Light-medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky/acidic/tangy/tannic/resinous mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is an excellent fruited milkshake NEIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberries, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, cream cheese, lactose, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/acidic/tangy/drying finish. Great soft/silky feel. Feels like Citra, Mosaic hops. Awesome balance of juicy/jammy berries, hops, lactose, and cream cheese flavors; with a nice sized lactose, and wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example as expected. Not overwhelming on any aspect. No complaints.
