Soak up the soft golden rays of an inviting malt body as the lively hues of citrusy hops linger on the horizon of a cool, refreshing finish.

Tap at Hair of the Dog, Phrom Phong, Bangkok. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, big orange citrus fruit, light hop. The flavour is moderate sweet with a crisp, fresh, orange citrus, light dry woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Fresh and fruity but way too sweet for me.

Sampled from the tap at Happy Gnome. Pours a slightly hazy gold with an orange hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has citrus and grapefruit with a sweet grain backbone. Flavor has dank citrus and light tropical fruits with a sweet grain backbone.

19.2 ounce can! From ABV. Pours a slightly hazy orange hue with a medium white head. A nice sweet citrus nose. Mild bitterness, some bready base, bitterness in the finish with marmalade. Pretty good. Was 2.95$, can't beat that.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 12/14/2018. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy ogg white head with good 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 tangerine, mandarin, orange juice, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit 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 big tangerine, mandarin, orange juice, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, zesty, herbal, floral, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, mandarin, orange juice, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great 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 body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Slight lingering resin after the finish. Zero warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is an excellent NEIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the minimally bitter/drying finish. Great soft feel. Still prefer regular Fresh Squeezed. They changed the hops from Citra/Mosaic to Mandarina/Amarillo/Simcoe. Unwarranted, but still a nice hop profile. Great juicy and lightly dank/earthy hop complexity; balanced bready malt backbone, mild lingering sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
