12oz can picked up at the state store. Pours cloudy yellow with a medium sized white head, lots of sticky lacing. Fruit punch, medicinal, light sour at the finish. This doesn't taste like 9.5%, but I'm not going to finish it to find out. Not terrible, but not my kind of IPA.

The aroma and flavor seem like what would happen if an imperial hazy ipa was mixed with Hawaiian Punch. Low bitterness. Sweet. There’s lots of artificial tasting fruit punch with malty sweetness and some hop resin. I’ve definitely had worse, but… why? Why make this beer?

Hazy pale lighter orange, alabaster head. Did you ever open and smell a can of fruit cocktail? Well, this is what is smells like, maraschino cherry and all hell. Even tho I despise IPA, at almost 10%, I thot it may be worth my while, to at least catch a buzz on this shit. First swig leaves a warming sensation all thru my bod, all the way down to my gullet. I'm so sick of these voodoo ranger variations, I wish they would sunset this name, PMO; seems like Lion/Kirin is making a killing off this NB creation. So be it. It's so mouth coating. I'll tick it even tho so many of these VD taste the same. I think this is the same as Voodoo Ranger Danger Beach IPA but with some grain alky added, heheheheh. I'll give it a 2 overall just because it gave me a buzz.

12 ounce can from Niemuth's, 3/2/23. Hazy pale orange, medium tan head, good retention. Aroma of tropical fruit. That's it. Kind of overwhelming. Taste is tropical fruit, cherry, pineapple. Some canned fruit. Juicy, low bitterness. Overall weird but decent.

Hazy yellow with a fluffy white head. Aroma of pineapple and citrus. Immediate strong pineapple note, taste also includes guava, and orange, plenty of strong, distinct fruit notes. Palate has ethanol, some mild resin. NEIPA turned up to 100%

O- Tasted like a kids flu medicine or something. Not bad, but not the flavor I was after. Expected a juicy tropical citrus vibe.

19.2 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a cloudy gold color with a white head and very good retention. Good lacing. Strong fruit punch aroma. Fruit punch flavor mixed with some hops and a light boozy finish. Tastes like an a mix of an IPA and a flavored malt liquor. The fruit flavor is most dominant, but the hops keeps it from becoming too fruity. The 9.5% ABV is evident yet somewhat suppressed. Low bitterness overall. Medium body. Medium carbonation too. Alco-pop for hop heads?
