Cloudy medium orange body, medium tight cream head. Odd beer, rather sharp initially with prominent soft grape flavors and bitter grapeskin tannins. Softer, sweeter, and gummier with warmth though the aroma remains principally tannic.

A hazy bright golden beer with a white head. Aroma of ripe stone fruits, mango, apricot, strong malt. Taste of mid sweet strong wheat and oat malt, yellow stone fruits, riped fruits, moderate bitterness.

Brew Export Advent Calendar Day 6. Aroma has sugary fruit and a herbaceous streak. Waxy pale orange. Foamy not quite translucent white head Hmmm. Interesting. The flava was flagged by the aroma; a herbal bitterness with resin. Balanced by sugary stone fruit. Resin finish. Pepper. Medium bodied. Slick. Creamy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long finish, a tad dry, a tad astringent. Highly drinkable.

16 oz can from Paragon, 12/1/23. Hazy yellowish-orange color, white head. Orange, tangerine, candied peach, and a little bread. Definitely on the sweet side, but not cloyingly so. Could use a touch of bitterness for balance, but tasty stuff overall, and drinks nicely.

16oz can pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice citrus hops over ripe tropical notes. Taste is more of the nice sweet tropical fruit notes and a citrus kick.

Got as a gift from TheFugitive. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 5/29/2019. Pours opaquely hazy golden/amber/green color with a 1-2 finger dense, cream, and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, green pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, green pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, green pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great, Minimal warming alcohol for 7.5%. Overall this is an amazing NEIPA. All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish; great soft feel. Amazing Ekuanot, Citra, El Dorado profile. Extremely juicy and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazingly spot on style example.
