16 oz. can. Aroma is citrus, straw, yeast. Citrus is mostly orange with maybe grapefruit. Texture is lightly juicy. Very mild herb under the fruit. Malt starts to get pretty bold when it warms. Becomes pretty sweet for my own tastes.

Can pour from trade with Johnnnniee via The Packie--thanks, John! It's an opaque dark yellow-light brown with light sparkle at the edges of the glass, 2-finger width off-white foamy head with good retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, tropical fruit, grapefruit and herbal/vegetal (more herbal/vegetal as it warms). Taste is strong, dank herbal/vegetal over citrus, grapefruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation, and finish as taste with late dry yeast and mild bitterness. Overall, well above average all around. Aroma is a bit more balanced and complex than the flavor but this is really good.

Got in a BIF from TheDoctor. 16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours lightly hazy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big mandarin orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, blueberry, gooseberry, guava, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge mandarin orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, blueberry, gooseberry, guava, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, zesty, herbal, floral, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, blueberry, gooseberry, guava, 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 hops and bready malt flavors; with a solid 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. Zero warming alcohol for 8%. Overall this is a fantastic NEDIPA! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV with the minimally bitter/drying finish. Amazingly soft feel. Amazing Mosaic/Citra showcase. Extremely juicy, and lightly dank/earthy hop complexity; perfectly balance pale/wheat malt backbone, not overly sweet/heavy for lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example despite lack of haze. Loved the hop profile as expected. Definitely has insane levels of dry hopping.
