32oz crowler pours with a hazy deep gold body that supports a full light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up sweet smelling tangelo and clementine citrus, wheat bread and a bit of grapefruit. The taste delivers wheat bread and graham cracker and then sweet juicy clementine and tangelo hop flavor. To midway a murmur of grapefruit like hop bitterness bubbles to the surface. There's just enough tangy and bitter citrus to keep all the sweetness in check and there's zero sense of the ABV. Wow.

16 oz can from Homebrewstuff. Hazy, milky body, foamy head fades to ring. Aroma is light citrus and bready notes. Taste is bolder, grapefruit peel, hops bring a light sting right before the alcohol warmth seeps in. Yet, its still smooth, creamy body

From a can, pours a soft cloudy light lemon yellow. Thin modest fine white head. Even with an aggressive pour. Some grassy and subtle tropical fruity aromas. Soft melon and tropical flavors. Surprisingly litel booziness for a 10% beer, Light clean feel. Quite good, and quite a punch.

On draught at Bob's Bar during the JAFB Night At Bob’s Bar event on 05/18/2019. The beer is a cloudy yellow-gold color with a medium thick frothy white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lacing. Aroma of dank hops, fruit and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of tropical fruit, herbal hops and caramel malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a dank fruity hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

16 ounce crowler into tulip glass, filled on 5/22/2019. Pours very hazy/cloudy deep golden/amber/light orange color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a small cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, coconut, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/light earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, coconut, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, coconut, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/light earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal lingering resins. Zero warming alcohol for 10.3%. Overall this is an incredible NEDIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/light earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the huge ABV, with the mildly bitter/drying finish; fantastically soft feel. Amazing Citra/Cashmere profile. Extremely juicy and lightly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. Highly enjoyable offering, and amazingly spot on style example.
