355ml can. Enjoyed 1.8.2020. Poured typical hazy looks. Aggressive in a way, nice and flavorful with strong mango and pineapple noes. Fairly dry finish, bitterness and juiciness.

Pretty horrible, chock full of fake mango flavor and pretty much absent any NEIPA qualities other than the haze. Weird cardboard graininess accents the terrible mango notes, while the hops provide a slight bitterness on the finish. Come on, NB. This is crap.

Pours hazy amber with a frothy white head. Aroma of sweet pineapple, mango, papaya. Taste has pineapple, strawberry notes, tropical hints accented with very slight orange notes. Palate has very mild hop bitterness lingering with a slightly resinous mouthfeel that fades to a watery finish. Lingering notes in the throat. Eminently crushable.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Lovely tropical fruit salad nose with papaya, mango and coconut aromas. Easy drinking with some peach and honeydew melon notes on the palate. Well-rounded with a relatively soft mouthfeel. Lingering mango, citrus and slight warming alcohol.

12 oz, thanks bro. Aroma is immediate juicy mango, some breadiness, floral notes. Pours hazy orange-golden with a two finger pillowy cream-white head with excellent retention and curtains of lace. Taste has lots of candy sweetness, light to moderate bitterness, with lots of mango flavor. Perfect creamy mouthfeel. Probably the most impressive beer in the Voodoo Ranger lineup I've had.

Definitely a lot of mango flavour. Actually liking this one more than I have many recent NEIPAs. Light on the green onion, and finish is clean rather than hop tangy. Pours golden with ok head. Hint of bubblegum. Can.

12 ounce can from Festival Northland, 5/2/20. Murky orange, very large frothy tan head, good retention. Aroma of floral, dank, resin, earth, pale malt. Taste is canned fruit cocktail, mango, lime, pale malt. Medium bodied, juicy, low bitterness. Solid. On a different note... WTF is a 1985 IPA a NEIPA? I was expecting old school.
