Can. Pours a clear bright gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy citrus and light tropical fruits with some sweet grains supporting. Flavor is similar with tropical fruits and earthy citrus backed by sweet grains.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned in 9/2019. Pours fairly hazy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy of white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, pear, apricot, mango, melon, red apple, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, dill, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light biscuit/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/light earthy hops, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, pear, apricot, mango, melon, red apple, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, dill, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light biscuit/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, pear, apricot, mango, melon, red apple, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, dill, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light biscuit/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/light earthy hops, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a solid 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/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and slightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an awesome NEIPA. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/light earthy hops, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish; great soft feel. Awesome Lemondrop and Sultana(Denali) profile. Very juicy, vibrant, and lightly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example; despite the lack of much haze.
