One of Verdant's many NEIPA variants, can at Bar Beenhouwer in Ghent. Snow white, thickly cobweb-lacing, pillowy, very moussy and stable head on a cloudy apricot blonde beer with milky ochre-ish tinge in the end. Aroma of pomelo, lemongrass, lime zest, raw pineapple, ripe pear, guava, fresh lemon verbena, green kiwi, shallots sweating in peanut oil. Lively 'green-fruity' onset, starfruit, kiwi, pineapple and a citric edge of pomelo or lime, sweetish but not too much, medium carbonated; soft doughy body, soaked in a wave of zesty, tropical hoppiness, very fruity with a refreshing citric edge but remaining soft and bitterness, letting the sheer juiciness pass through unabated; a light hopburn appears in the end, considered a flaw in hazy IPAs but not really bothering me. Has an interesting 'green' and grassy aspect in the nose, the hopburn probably should not have been there but generally speaking this is a fine NEIPA indeed.
