Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: murky orange haziness with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated leaving some light messy lace
Aroma: white grapes, pineapples, assorted berries and a little bit of melon hoppiness; light clean malts
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes berry-ish and pineapple-y with a touch of dryness
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, some astringent hop vibes but nothing bad just noticeable
Overall: a very nicely done NEDIPA worthy of coming back to.

This is a nice, maybe even above average, hazy. Big bright citrus and fruit on the nose, juicy but not overly so in the flavor. Semi-sweet. Low to moderate bitterness. Hazy nearly opaque orange color with a decently foamy head.

16 oz. can. Aroma is very grassy with green onion. The flavor starts with some mango and pineapple and transitions to grassy hops. Soft mouthfeel with a soft texture. Finish is sweet with some sugar. Yeast attenuation is not very good. Overall, good but sweet.

Pours murky lemon into a tulip. Bright white head with little retention recedes to sicken surface. Lemon, kumquat and sour pineapple aromas. Thick with sweet, earthy overripe lemon and dirty tropical fruit skin front to back. Dry moldy tangerine peel finish. Nope.

Draft at Paragon, 9/8/23. Fully hazed yellowish color, white head, moderate lace. Grapefruit, pineapple, and some mango. Peach notes as well. Juicy. Not overly sweet. Slightly tart. Nice feel. Tasty.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a glowing straw gold with a finger of white head that lingers. Nice lacing down the glass. Big juicy nose with tangerine, muscat, gooseberry and crushed pineapple all present. Light body with nice crisp carbonation. Feels lighter on the palate than the 9% abv. More pithy citrus, with mikan, pineapple and blueberry flavors all present. Crisp and clean DIPA with a drying finish. Foam kills it again.

Pale cloudy yellow-orange-brown body, thick cream head. Aroma grape, tart orange, and catty notes. Body soft and sugary pineapple juice with guava and orange peel and a tart-sweet vinous character. The house tart/sour grapeskin characteristic lingers long after the sip and is somewhat cloying.

Canned 1/21/22, drunk 2/19/22. Moderately hazy, bright, maize-golden with a small, white head showing moderate-to-low retention. Nose is big pineapple, thankfully not cheap, syrupy, canned variety (aka more like strata than sabro). Tangerine, lemon, orange juice and light pine. In retrospect, I missed the Motueka which isn't too surprising given that it's notes are usually quite delicate and easily drowned out by big citrus and pineapple. Malts are cracker and biscuit-like without any big sugar notes, while the yeast is clean and low on ester character. No alcohol noted. Pineapple and easygoing citrus notes in the mouth and a surprisingly lighter bodied feel, especially given its size. Bitterness is relaxed and the malt yields only light honey, with predominantly cracker and biscuit, very well-attenuated. Lingering easygoing tropical and citrus notes with a hint of light pine.

16oz can pours a pulpy gold with some cloudy white head. Nose has flowers and sweet herbs and passionfruit. Some orange too. Flavor has a very clear and distracting grist character, oranges and melon and passionfruit too, straw, herbs. Finishes pretty much full bodied, slightly tannic, lightly herbal.
