Relax is the perfect name for this hazy India Pale Ale because it’s impossible not to when you’re drinking it. We use a combination of fruit-forward hops like Citra and Amarillo along with Centennial and Simcoe, to impart fruity, tropical and citrus notes, and London III yeast to give it that soft, round mouthfeel. No bitterness, no pucker. Just a smooth IPA that drinks like a breeze.
Hops: Citra, Amarillo, Centennial, and Simcoe
Malts: 2-Row, Flaked Oats, Carafoam
Yeast: London III
IBU: 50

Got in a trade with RaulMondesi. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 5/30/2018. Pours moderately hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Mild pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance; and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 6.8%. Overall this is an excellent NEIPA. All around great citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter finish. Great soft feel. Citra, Centennial, Simcoe and Amarillo hops. Not quite as tropical as I expected for that hop bill, mostly citrus/stone fruits. Very juicy, lightly dank hop complexity; great balanced malt backbone, mild residual sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Can at home in Hackney - cheers to Blipp! Pours unclear orange-gold with a modest, frothy white head. Nice melon and tangerine in the aroma. Medium sweet flavour, some bready pale malts, mild rindy bitterness, juicy tangerine and melon, some grapefruit, peach, strawberry. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Nice finish, fairly juicy even more, more melon and peach and tangerine. Quite solid overall. Quite drinkable.

16oz can at Paradiso Georgetown, pours a pulpy orange with some soft, white head. Nose has citrus, more zest than juice, orange and grapefruit primarily, some grasses, dried herbs, a little catty. I liked the flavor, while this is a "hazy IPA" - it's not a juice bomb like every other beer out there, there's some light melon sweetness and grist, then orange peel, grass, hand soap, some herbs, lightly catty. Finishes mostly full bodied, bitter and dry. A throwback cloaked in a new school package.

Pours from a can a cloudy yellow-orange color with a medium thick frothy white head that recedes gradually to a film. Strings of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of tropical fruit, floral hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, floral hop and bready malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
