Fruit forward without being overbearing, which is good, but the acidity from the adjuncts makes this pint sour-adjacent, not quite bursting with IPA goodness. Berries and guava dominate the front, while the back end quickly dries out, adding a touch of vanilla to a rather tame, modestly bitter fade. Eh.

Gold pour thin foam. Pineapple lemon nose. Pineapple lemon mango flavor with citrus zest palate

Super hazy golden coloured body with a dense, straw raw honey coloured body with a thin faint white head that fades quickly and is at most just a centimetre tall. Aroma of lactose, caster sugar, oranges, curacao, light grass, hay and a softer floral finish with some chamomile and jasmine blossoms as well. Medium-bodied; Strong lactose and large malt backbone that shows some light earth, dash of grass and a lot of the fruity notes, but they aren't really tropical fruits, more like blood oranges, grapefruit and kumquat - pure citrus notes. Aftertaste shows a robust balance of tons of hops and bitterness with an equal amount of robust deep malts and a smooth but pungent lactose and sweet note that finishes this off nicely. Overall, a nice and enjoyable beer that hits the right notes and especially the hop bitterness, with a great balance that has a pleasant amount of lactose and sweetness, especially at the end. I sampled this pint-sized can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 23-June-2019 for US$4,59 sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-September-2019.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned in 5/2019. Pours opaquely hazy medium golden/yellow/light green color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big lightly tart/tangy red raspberry, passion fruit, pink guava, fruit skin/seeds, mandarin orange, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of raspberry, passion fruit, pink guava, citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, lactose, vanilla, and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big lightly tart/tangy red raspberry, passion fruit, pink guava, fruit skin/seeds, mandarin orange, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness; and light fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of red raspberry, passion fruit, pink guava, fruit skin/seeds, mandarin orange, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberry, passion fruit, pink guava, citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, lactose, vanilla, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness, and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no astringent hop/fruit flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and tart/tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, fairly resinous/rindy, and lightly tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.2%. Overall this is an excellent fruited milkshake NEIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruit, citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, lactose, vanilla, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Nicely soft and not aggressive. Great Galaxy, Pacific Jade, Mosaic, and Styrian Dragon profile. Very juicy, vibrant and fairly dank/earthy hops/fruit; with a nice lactose, and wheat/oat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example. A little more bitter/drying than I would have expected, but no complaints otherwise.
