Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: cardboard yellow haziness with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated slowly to leave some sticky messy lace
Aroma: grapefruity/citrusy hops meshing with some clean malts
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas together biitersweetly with a little bit of juiciness; mild aftertaste of grapefruit rind and clean malts
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper, cirrusy/grapefruity finish
Overall: very nicely done NEIPA worth having again.

Dark apricot orange-brown body, thick, dirty, puffy off-white head. Tart, juicy, floral nose, mostly tropical fruit. Body somewhat dank and vegetal, the juice (melon, stonefruits) becoming more assertive with warmth. Decent, though not among my favorites.

16oz can from Halftime. Hazy orange golden, wispy head. Piney, citrus aroma. Taste had some nice bready malts that are gone in an instant, followed by a snappy , hoppy bite, resiny and citric. Straddling the line between hazy and East Coast styles.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up in VT. Pours murky orange-gold with a frothy, white head. Has a nice juicy, lightly jammy citrus character, supportive pale malts, a little chalky hop dust, pithy grapefruit, bitter grass and pine needles. Medium bodied, lightly oily, with fine to average carbonation. Subtly warming finish, more juicy citrus, orange peel, a little alcohol suggestions of piney resin. Sound.
