Rather tame for a hazed IPA, moderate citrus and tropical notes against a vanilla-tinged caramel-biscuit malt base. Grows floral and soapy towards the middle, while the citrus turns to bubblegum and pine on the back end. Berry and peach notes on the periphery, but none of it feels pronounced enough to make a memorable pint. Pours a milky gold with a thick white head and good lacing. Restrained lemon and bubblegum notes on then nose. Perky texture doesn't quite qualify as "pillowy", but it's close. Still, with eight billion NEIPAs on the market right now, a better beer's easy to find.

Bottle from Trader Joe's. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Lots of clove, herbal notes and bubblegum in the nose. Very much like a weizen. Interesting. Maybe some sherbet aromas as it warms. Creamy on the palate and smooth. More lingering bubblegum and clove with dreamsicle notes. Very interesting hope profile. I like the mouthfeel.

Pour is a murky orange with a large white head. Aroma is a pretty decent citrus hop. Flavor is more of a decent tropical fruit hop with a little sweetness after the swallow. Not a huge hop bomb but this was decent. If you did not know this is a beer you might mistake it for a fruit smoothy.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours rather hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is juicy mixed fruits. Med body. Flavor doesn’t seem to live up to the aroma, but it’s pretty nice. Not too dry, lightly juicy, somewhat bitter. Don’t pass it up.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a murky yellow color with a large foamy-soapy yellow-white head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was bitter with gritty and leafy earthy and herbal hops. The flavor was bitter with rough and leafy earthy and herbal hops. Medium length finish. Medium body. Ok.

12 ounce bottle. Hazy orange, large foamy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of grapefruit and floral hops. The taste is grapefruit, tropical fruit, pale malt. Medium bodied, bright. Is this supposed to be their NEIPA?
