16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 6/15/2018. Pours very hazy/cloudy medium orange/amber color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with amazing retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of huge grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, orange juice pulp, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, wheat, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Touch of booze in the aromas as it warms, but not overwhelming. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, orange juice pulp, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, wheat, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, zesty, herbal, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, orange juice pulp, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, wheat, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible 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. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and spicy alcohol. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Lightly increasing warmth of 12%, touch of booze lingering well after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic Triple NEIPA! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the big ABV, with the very mildly bitter/drying finish. Amazingly soft mouthfeel. Probably Centennial, Cascade, Citra, and Amarillo. Insanely juicy/pulpy hops; awesome malt balance, not overly sweet/heavy for the ABV. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected.

Can sourced from Mikkeller Webshop, shared at home watching Brazil v Belgium - pours a hazy orange colour with white head and sticky lacing. Resonating fruity with a plethora of tropical fruit delivered, notes of tangerine, mango, grapefruit, medium to full bodied, solid hoppy and just a touch boozy warming at the close.
