Pour is more of a cloudy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is stone fruit and white grape. Flavor is more of a juicy citrus with some soft malts and a bigger than usual bitterness. This was decent. I would not exactly call this a NE IPA. This was more bitter than the style usually is .

Has a very dank aroma, although this beer pours only slightly hazy. Very small head and cloudy golden yellow. Pretty crisp flavor, with citrus, some stone fruit. Has a pretty bitter, pine-hop finish to it. Not bad at all.

16oz can. Misread the label, this was canned more than a year ago. Still holds up rather well, but I'd imagine a little different than fresh. Unfiltered orange body, not much of a head. Looks more like a regular IPA than a NE. I don't get much Nelson, but the other three are there still, perhaps a little dieselfied. Full bodied. Good.

Cloudy orange-gold color with a medium frothy bone white head that dissipates gradually to a film. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of herbal hops, citrus and malt. Medium body with flavors of piney hops, citrus and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

16 oz can from Tavour. Murky, orange golden pour with nice creamy, fluffy head. Streaky lacing. Aroma is fruity, mix of citrus and tropical scents. Taste begins with light, sweet fruity flavors becore being subsumed by a persistent, tangy bitterness.

16oz can pours out a crisp golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice big citrus notes some malts. Taste is more of the nice sweet citrus light fruit and light malts.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 10/12/2018. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, white grape, citrus peel/zest, light peppercorn, 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 moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, white grape, citrus peel/zest, light peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, white grape, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.1%. Overall this is an excellent NEIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish; nicely soft feel. Awesome Citra, Mosaic, Amarillo, and Nelson Sauvin profile. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; nice wheat/oat/malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness from lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

Canned October 12th 2018. A big surprise to find a Minneapolis beer in Casper!
It pours a hazy pale gold with an admirable head of foam and lacing.
The smell is juicy with big aromas of tropical fruit, grapefruit, orange zest. Whiff whiff.
Yummy flavours of tropical fruit, grapefruit, orange zest, hoppy as heck but the bitterness is held in check by the sheer juiciness.
Medium bodied with lightish carbonation.
Gonna be fun to drink the other 3 cans.

Can pours out a murky dull golden orange with a thin coarse off white head. Big up front pithy and piney hop aroma and flavor. Lingering firm bitter bite, more than the listed 35 IBU led me to expect. Malty and smooth and pretty big at 7.5%
