Murky blond colour. The aroma is juicy and moderately dank. Good mouthfeel, soft, moderately sweet, strong dank character, almost incense, grapefruit peel, and a bitter punch like chewing citrus peel; little chalk too. Not as clean as the first iterations, but it's still excellent.

Bold aroma, but most of all massive hop flavour, possibly stronger than other Velvetone operations and even any other beer; dank and loaded with bitter citrus; I guess that with such bill it was inevitable to get astringency and pith (quite bitter indeed), but I'm still positive about it because this is definitively a daring beer, a behemoth.
Not as elegant as the virst release, oh well.

Completely random, this was canned exactly 2 months ago; it still packs a punch of fruity hops; only the great beers are excellent for a long lifespan (speaking of NEIPAs).
It's juicy, fruity, tropical, it seems mellower, but it still has counterbalancing bitterness. I drank two packs, and each can has been excellent.

Murky blond colour. Amazing aroma, symphony of fruits, tropical, pineapple, passionfruit, a bit dank. It's moderately sweet, perfectly balanced by the citrus zest bitterness; juicy hops, mostly tropical and citrus fruit blend, with minimal hop burn in the finish, almost piney, that adds a vibe.
Wonderful.
