Reviewed from notes.
On tap at Doc Ponds on 11/02/2017.
Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: dark yellow to orange haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which settled off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: gooseberry to tangerine to peachy to piney and mango-like hoppy tones with a super light clean malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a superb sweet to bittersweet quality emphasizing the berry notes and seems to add in a little bit of blueberry sweetness; finishes slightly danky to berry to peachy toned
Texture: medium bodied; leaning into being a sipper; great smoothness along the tongue with nothing distracting; nice low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: an extremely well done NEDIPA I would welcome again.

On draft at Barking Dog Saloon in Parishville NY, in a shaker pint uhh
A bright translucent hazy pale orange to yellpw orange. A finger of tight creamy head that leaves sticky lacing all along the glass
Wicked aromatic, tangerine, peach, tropical vibe leaning into a dank piney aroma.
Follows on the palate with peach and tangerine up front melding into blueberry and dank pine with a light bitterness
Incredibly soft medium body, light carbonation with a bit of bitterness working in its favor.
What beautiful showcase of mosaic hops and a well crafted double IPA. I know this would be even better in a glass that's more appropriate for the style. A top shelf beer.

Ingeblikt op 25 oktober jl. Wat gesluierd, licht oranje kleur met wat deeltjes die erin rond zweven, een niet al te grote vrijwel witte kraag met een halve cm retentie. Geur van hars, dennennaalden, maar toch redelijk mild, iets kruidig, bitterig. Retronasaal is het kruidig, zoetig fruit, licht bitter. Smaak is licht tot middelmatig bitter met een licht zoetje en wat fruitzuur. Zachte koolzuurprikkeling. Medium body. Bitterheid neemt langzaampjes toe in de afdronk. Subtiel en zeer smaakvol.
