Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow to orange color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which slid off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruit & mangoes up front with some light pineapple hop tones intertwining with the clean malt base
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together bittersweetly and semi-juicy; mild aftertaste of the grapefruit and mangoes
Texture: light to medium bodied, light bitterness invading my tongue yet somewhat trying to be semi-smooth; finishes crisp and semi-juicy with the grapefruit and mangoes
Overall: a nicely done NEIPA I would come back to.

Draught @ Malt & Mold (3/12/20). Extremely hazy bright yellow with small foamy off-white head citrus mango aroma, medium carbonation, medium bitter tangerine-mango-pineapple taste, somewhat thick body, long finish. Smooth and flavorful.

Can. Very hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and fairly dry, decent fine minerally crisp bite. Slightly thin malts, mildly sweet. And obvious mix of semi ripe citrus goes well with the pink peppercorn sweet and spicy vibe. What doesn't go well is the watery sweetness. Crisp pine and a mild spicy hop. Nice try, not really working for me. Too watery.

All the junk in this dilutes the flavour like too muchbice in good rum. Not much of an IPA left after. Hazy pink pour. Clean and sweet finish. Tap at Ginger Man.
