Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a two finger white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and once it did some messy lace clung to the glass.
Aroma: pineapple, citrus rind, orangey, mangoes and a touch of piney hoppiness; light biscuity malts with a super whiff of lactose mixed in with the malt tones
Flavor: mixes all those prior noted aromas to a fine juicy bitter to bittersweet quality; finishes semi-citrusy rind-like, mango-like and some pineapple
Texture: medium bodied, this is a sipper; good smoothness and touch of dryness but that lactose I smelled earlier I sense it here playing against that dryness; nice low carb
Overall: nicely done NETIPA I'd be willing to come back to.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, good cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, decent fine minerally carbonation emerging late on. Fluffy malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Soft cooling pine hops into creamy orange citrus, almost vanilla. Tastes a little like Lotus hops? There is brighter juicier citrus well buried but adding dimension. Slightly candy mango and guava lurk about. A mild citrus peel bitter edge. Long fruity linger. Hmmm! Intriguing. First couple of gob fulls I was quite underwhelmed, thinking another overpriced underperforming US import but, then it opened up to me and I ended up really enjoying the contrasting character in this one.

Aromas are resin, citrus rind, wet grain and a hint of MJ. Flavors are similar to nose, with resin and rind coming on stronger. Not quite balanced bitter and sweet with carbonation. Good but not great.

16 oz can. Aroma has orange vanilla with a mild herbal note. Flavor starts with the Orange Dreamsicle and becomes bolder herb in the finish. Gets bold herb as it warms. Has great balance. Another nicely crafted brew from this brewery.

Can at home, from Beer Bruvs, 21/02/22. Hazed orange to light amber with a good sized light egg shell white covering. Nose is sweet malts, pineapple, papaya, hop spice, pine resin, orange pith, grapefruit zest. Taste comprises mandarin, pineapple, soft malts, grass, hop spice, ripe melon, lychee, perfume. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with moderately aggressive juicy come resinous hop bitterness allied to a balanced rising boost. Solid TIPA ... not overly sweet ... carries a good bitter edge ... well balanced overall.

Draft at the brewery, pours a dark pulpy gold. Sticky white head. Nose has grapefruit, booze, schnapps, melon, orange. Flavor has citrus but lots of booze, melons. Full bodied and boozy. 7 5 7 3 13
