16oz can. Always a treat to have a Toppling Goliath NEIPA. Nice hop combo - very good

Can from Tavour. Pours hazy gold with a slight white head. Tropical aroma - seems to have some orange. Med plus body. It is rather tropical, but it's not very juicy, and it's extremely floral. Dry. Bitter. Then some orange pops up. Finishes like there's some zest. Tasty brew. Just a bit confusing for me.
03/06/21, upfront piney bitterness but that settles out quick and leaves yah with thick juicyness, bit boozy but tasty.

pint can courtesy of drake. thanks. Pours a very cloudy yellow with a big foamy white head that has good retention. The aroma is strong with mixed citrus , mostly grapefruit but I also get some pineapple. The taste mirrors the aroma with a lot of bitter grapefruit and an underlying current of sweetened mango. The palate is full and the carbonation is soft. Paired with some sourdough pretzels. Overall: Top shelf stuff.

Hazy medium orange-brown body, thin clumping off-white head. Nose and body luscious, tropical, with mango, papaya, pineapple, and mineraly fruit skin initially, quickly sharing space with citrus (orange, tangerine, and grapefruit). Finishes rather dry and bitter. Very good.
Bought the can on the recommendation from J M. , and was a good decision.

16oz can from Tavour. Golden colored pour, hazy, one finger airy head. Aroma seems tame, bready malts, light orange. Taste is mellow, full malty flavors, hint of citrus, but there's something hiding in the back, a bit of sharp hoppiness that slowly emerges. Pretty approachable for a DIPA, but there's some hidden strength in there. Easy drinker.

Pours a hazy, golden yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is dank, with some grass, some green onion, some hops. Flavor is largely the same. There's some slight citrus flavor as well. Pretty big bite of hops in the finish. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. TG makes some of the best beer around and this is yet another example of their high standards.

On tap at Toppling Goliath, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lightly dank, piney hops upfront, with a crisp biscuity malt backbone. Flavour is on the herbal and musty side, with lightly dank hops, herbal hops, and biscuity malt. Not the most expressive or vibrant hop varietal, but it works alright. Good stuff.
