A proper DIPA of the kind I like. Thick, heavy and dense. Lots of fruityness, without turning into a sweet smoothie. Mango, citrus. Plenty of hops. A powerful one, but pretty damn tasty. Nice can art as well.

Can from De Bierliefhebber and shared at home - very hazy yellow with a white head. Bold punchy juicy fruity action delivered, lots of juicy papaya and pineapple, substantial later smooth mouthfeel and body, touch of citrus rind bitterness and dank green grassy hoppy into the close.

Can. A- Citrus, soapy. A- Gold color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Citrus, soapy, mild bitterness. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Probably deserves a higher rating than I am giving it. Very creamy NEIPA. Lots of juicy citrus too and a bit catty. Pretty good.

The Aromas are fresh Citrus and a little Pine resin hops with some pale malt. Flavors are like nose a little sweetness at first with significant bitterness in the Finish, good body and carbonation. Pretty decent beer.

Got in a trade with GreenBayBA. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours opaquely hazy/cloudy deep golden amber color with a 2 finger fairly dense 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 moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew, watermelon, red apple, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew, watermelon, red apple, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew, watermelon, red apple, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 8.2%. Overall this is a fantastic NEDIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV, with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish; nicely soft, and not overly aggressive. Fantastic Vic Secret, El Dorado, Mosaic profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; with a great spelt/oat/malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and impressively well made style example. A bit more resinous/drying than expected, but it smoothed out more as it warmed up.

16 ounce can from Total Wine Brookfield, 3/8/19. Murky, muddy pale orange, large frothy tan head, good retention. Aroma of earthy onion, pale malt. Taste is onion, pine, tropical fruit, earth, pale malt. A gluey aftertaste. Medium bodied, bitter, dry. Okay.

This very much seems like a New England IPA to me. Hazy yellow and a lacing head. Lots of pine, some citrus, and it is sweet with a very nice, soft palate. Heavy palate.Some hop resin, and some tropical fruit character.
