4 oz. sample at the brewery. Hazy, bright yellow, some lasing head. Aroma is citrus, soft tropical hints, bread. Flavor is a homerun! Juicy soft tropical and citrus last throughout the entire sip. Plenty of hop punch with a very low bitterness. I could not believe this was over 8%. drinks much easier. This is exactly what a NEIPA should be. Very well executed.

Canned 10/25, drunk 12/21/17 and on draught at the brewery, 4/7/18.
Chicken soup appearance, with bronze-maize color and a medium-sized white head atop showing moderate retention.
Tangerine-mango in the nose is joined by light bubble gum and other tropical fruit notes. Soft honey abounds in the background. No flaw or alcohol, nor any resin.
In the mouth it's juicy as all hell, with a boatload of mango and pineapple and an ultra-soft, malty, yet well-attenuated texture complemented by tight carbonation and no alcohol. The draught version was a touch yeasty (as were a few of the other hoppy offerings that day), but with the age on the can, the beer had softened incredibly-well with still latent bitterness, yet plenty of biscuit and cracker malt, as well as dainty, succulent honey-like notes to balance. Excellently hoppy, though maybe not quite as good as the best batches of Four Seam I've ever had.
