Can to tulip.
Appearance: cardboard orange haziness, two finger white foamy head, mild messy lace
Aroma: sweet citrus pith, super subtle grassy hops, clean malts, subtle oats
Flavor: prior mentioned aromas mesh sweetly initially but with more warmth, seems to become a wonderful bittersweet, barely any aftertaste but seemed somewhat oaty and citrusy
Texure: medium bodied, very nice sipper, citrusy and oaty finish
Overall: very nicely done NEDIPA worthy of having again.

Can from the Packie. Hazy grapefruit yellow color with a thin bubbly white head that shows moderate retention. Earthy lemony citrus and resin with faint sweet bread to counter.

Can (1/26/21) pour from Fort Point Market. It's a cloudy light brown-dark yellow with nice sparkle at the edges of the glass, 2-finger off-white foamy head with fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong mango and tangerine. Taste is strong mango, lesser tangerine/citrus. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and juicy finish as taste. No sign of ABV. Overall, super juicy with strong aroma and flavor. A little thin for the style but hides alcohol extremely well.

16oz can pours a pulpy orange with sticky white head. Nose has orange and melon and mango and papaya and honey and tangerine. Flavor is sticky with malt and honey, sticky melon, grapefruit, orange. Finishes fruity, sticky, medium bitterness. Very well crafted.

At Burlington Farmer's Market, poured from a growler: hazy with white head. Aroma is piny and herbal and just. Bit fruity. Taste is dry and not that juicy. Higher bitterness than usual. Too much mosaic.
