Jolie partition sur cette NEIPA de la brasserie Hop Nation qui présente des arômes agréables sans que le côté herbacé ne prenne trop les devants, et une amertume saillante et relativement bien dosée (cela ne lui aurait pas fait de mal d'être un peu plus poussée). CryoPOP, Vic Secret sont au programme. Le visuel est sur un blond jaune trouble quasiment sans mousse. Le nez est plaisant sur un cocktail agrumes, fruits exotiques et herbes. En bouche, la complexité est plutôt bonne, avec des herbes un peu plus présentes et une amertume appréciable. Cela est le cas dès l'attaque où l'amertume donne de la vivacité. La deuxième est sur la lancée avec un alcool, à 8 % qui fait le job. L'arrière bouche est le final un peu plus tranchants sont très sympathiques. Corpulences et longueurs sont quant à elle très correctes.

(Can) Pours opaque yellow with a tiny white head, without which it would seem to be fruit juice. Pleasant fruity aroma mainly grapefruit and pineapple with peppery hints. Medium body with fine bright carbonation. Taste starts off refreshingly tart and fruity and steadily develops into full-on hoppy bitterness. Interesting, a bit brutal, but very drinkable.

Can. I guess there's some pop culture reference I'm missing here, because I recently had a Mornington/ Tar Barrel beer with a very similar name. Opaque yellowish orange with a large white head that's soon a coat. Aroma of pineapple, grapefruit, sherbet, crackers. More grapefruit than pineapple in the taste - perhaps the most grapefruit juice-like beer I've had - with not a lot behind the fruit and lowish bitterness at the dry finish. No astringency - feels like it's been well-calibrated there. Refreshing but a bit one dimensional.

A bone dry NEIPA, this one. There are aromas of pine, pineapple and a bit of tropical fruit. The taste is dominated by pine, with an incredibly dry finish. Not a great beer all around, but that aftertaste keeps me coming back for more.
