Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a two finger white foamy head which slid off to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruity, orange to lemon pithy with some of the zest of those citrusy fruits, light clean malts
Flavor: bittersweet juicy blend of the prior noted aromas; finishes juicy bittersweet but seems to come across more like mango and oranges
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper, some smoothness, nice low carb, low bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty nicely done NEDIPA I'd have again if I could.

Can from the brewery. Hazy lemon yellow with a frothy white head that slowly recedes. Hop aromas of earthy grassy tropical and citrus fruits a bits of bready malt to back it up .

Can at the brewery, 12/26/18.
Moderately hazy, bright lemon yellow with some brass and gold hues. White head atop is large and well-retained.
Nose is a mix of fairly strong citrus and pine, I wouldn't quite call it resinous and it's not like over-boiled hop, just very Azacca-forward which means strong grapefruit and lemon. But there's good malt here with biscuit and clean, white bread to soak up a lot of the acidity and it shows no heavy yeast; no bubble gum or alcohol. Tangerine, light mango and lime zest join in on the finish. Certainly a well-made beer, just not my favorite hops.
In the mouth it's pretty similar to the nose. Aggressive pine and citrus stopping just short of being resinous and fatiguing. Dry but with a very supple, well-attenuated malt character showing prominent biscuit-white bread and low honey. Tight carbonation and some pleasant fruitiness with marmalade, black tea and tangerine growing very lightly juicy as it warms. Still, the heavy pine/grapefruit aspect is a bit off-putting to me, but that's also because I really don't like West Coast IPAs, which this leans heavily towards (though certainly not fully). Personally, this would rate much lower than what I'm scoring it, but I have to respect how well-made it is.
