Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness, two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated to leave some messy lace
Aroma: big citrusy juicy hops, some onion/garlic backing, clean malts
Flavor: citrusy smooth juicy sweetness initially, mild onion/garlic again but with a little bit of pine bitterness; subtle aftertaste of citrus and pine
Texture: medium to full bodied, great sipper; delicate citrusy smooth juicy finish
Overall: a spectacular NEDIPA well worthy of returning to.

Draught at Blackback Pub, 4/7/22. Heavily hazy, bronze-brass-maize with a small, white head showing low retention. Nose is soft, juicy, with moderate pine but no big resin. Clean yeast with moderate fruitiness and a strong helping of base malts adding honey and biscuit. Light touch of alcohol, no flaw noted. Soft and juicy with an almost cherry-like note compliments of the Galaxy. Full-on OJ and grapefruit from the Citra with fun minerality, hints of earth and light-to-moderate pine. Malty with great attenuation. Really something in here for everyone. Malty yet dry, juicy yet with ample pine and bitterness.

Can. Brewdog, Sheffield. Fully hazy, pale gold. Fine white head. Nose has pulped citrus and mango. Some oaty grist. Some ripe white pear in there. Big juice here. Clean malts. Taste is a little sweet, with a nicely ripe citrus bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel. Drinks easy. Fine carbonation. Creamy bitterness to finish. Nice one.

A darker hazy tangerine juice appearance. A little dank. And grapefruit juice and lemon. Pecan as well. Very low carb. Tastes like Tropicana Orange juice. I drank a lot of that as a kid. Coconut oil finish
