Quarantine Beer #058 sampled at home on 04/12/2020. Murky dark orange color with a medium frothy bone white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of herbal hop, citrus and malt. Medium body with flavors of piney hop, citrus and roast malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
Hazy gold pour. Thick head with nice lace. Sweet grapefruit flavor. Easy carbonation. Delicious.

Pithy grapefruit nose. Cloudy amber, medium head, nice lace. Gumball and grapefruit. Full body, easy carbonation. Not super complex but deliciously well made.

From a can shared my Landon at Loose Screw foggy light lemon color. Strange musty grassy aromas and flavors. Not much butters for a double. Light and sweet

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent local release. Pours very hazy/cloudy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger 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 fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and 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-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 8%. Overall this is an outstanding NEDIPA. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the ABV, with the mildly bitter/drying finish; amazingly soft feel. Feels like Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and lightly dank hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazingly spot on style example.

16 oz can from Tavour. Hazy, milky pour, fluffy head, clumpy lacing. Juicy citrus aroma. Taste is more citrus, grapefruit peel. Tang is equal part citrus zest and fruity hop bitterness. First thought was bitter, but this is actually quite juicy

Draft at Harbor Bar, 9/1/17. Murky, grapefruit juice pour. Juicy and a little bitter. Slightly thin. Feels a little dull overall, but otherwise it's fine.
