Very hazy, straw coloured golden and bright yellow coloured body with a very large, super soapy off-white head that starts at about 6 to 7 centimetres tall that fades slowly and leaves a very ugly lace on the sides, all the way up. Aroma of very strong mangoes, oranges, bright hops with a bunch of alpha acids and seemingly a pretty strong wheat/malt backbone, with alcohol in the nose, too. Full-bodied; Very enjoyable rich malt and oaty pungency supports the back, at first with a lot of oranges, mangoes and even some light tropical notes showing at first with a light sweetness noticeable, too, along with a slight hop bitterness from the alpha acids, but robust and balanced throughout. Aftertaste shows the mangoes front and centre, as expected, with a lot of malts, some alcohol here, a good kick of sweetness, but balanced throughout - showing the Imperial Status from the malts and rich mangoes. Overall, a very nice fruity IPA that hits all the right notes, is quite potent, bud doesn't seem like 9,5 per cent, but the format is TOO big of course. I also sampled this with Chili Powder (as the can suggests) and while it provided something 'different', it wasn't necessary, as the beer already was quite nice! Good to sample after the other beers from this brewery weren't so good, this gives me more faith in the brewery the next time I'm out West. I sampled this 19,2 ounce can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Fairfield, California on 28-August-2022 for US$4,49, canned on 07-August-2022 and sampled at my house back on the East Coast in Washington on 26-September-2022.

On tap at River Rock Taproom. Pours cloudy light orange with a medium sized white head, good lacing. Fruity, straw, resin, mild tart, mild mango flavor in the finish. Ok, barely any mango.

16 oz can poured. Dense juicy orange haze, thick foam head. Smooth tropical fruit throughout, citrus follow. Very creamy body to this. Hoppy flavor with almost no bitterness. Smooth double. Juice bomb. Pretty good all around.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours hazy/translucent gold with a monstrous foamy white head that slowly laced down. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruits. Med body. Flavor is mango, citrus and lightly cooked caramel malt. Dry for a NEIPA. Bitter for a NEIPA. Works for me.
