Can to tulip.
Appearance is as shown in the picture.
Aroma: tangerine to pineapple hop tones up front with a light mango-like to mixed citrusy sort of hoppy middle; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine juicy sweet to subtle bittersweet quality; finishes tangerine & pineapple-y hop toned and juicy sweet
Texture: light to medium bodied; slightly sessionable; good smoothness with nothing distracting anywhere
Overall: a very nicely done single hopped NEIPA with Rakau in which I would return to.

Can @ Vinyl Beer, Manhattan NYC (July 2025). Pours extremely hazy bright yellow, like orange juice, small foamy off-white head, citrus-unripe mango aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus-pineapple taste, tropical fruit flavor, thin body, long finish. Flavorful.

Hazy pale yellow colour with thin head. It's predominantly juicy tangerine notes with a solid pithy bitterness in the finish. Punchy
