Tap at brewery biergarden. Golden color with white head. Aroma of malt, tropical fruity hops. Taste is hop centered with tropical fruits, zest, recognizable alcohol.

Can at Minute Maid Park. Pours orange gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is pine and earthy malt. Light body, pine, grapefruit, biscuit, nice bitterness, very good.

Tap at Flying Saucer in DFW - nothing hazy about this beer - clear gold - lively carbonation - moderately bitter - a lot of tropical fruit and melon flavors - clean and not too heavy for the abv - I dig it.

Poured from the tap. Clear gold with small white head. Mild citrus hops and biscuit malt, quite timid, a bit of booze. Meh.

I found this 12 oz can at HEB's single beers display recently, stamp on the bottom says Canned on 01/30/23. This evening I believe I will go with a Belgian chalice for the tasting. I pull the tab and make a pour. The view is a surprisingly clear, yellow-gold liquid with a fairly steady top of finely bubbled, fully white foam. I get a pleasant scent of tropical fruit, a bit of lemon and grain. Follow that with a drink, there is grapefruit to a degree, honeydew melon, malt, bread and more of the tropical. More bitter than your typical NEIPA, a positive direction to go in my estimation. A decent IPA.

Ember draught, 3/25/23. Very minimally hazy if at all. White head small, low retention. Honey-like malt, white bread, pine and citrus. This certainly doesn't smell like an NEIPA...biscuity, piney, orange tea. Pine. Soft, lightly malty, lots of bitterness, fair bit of pine. Good malt sweetness, carbonation a bit prickly. Lingering honey, citrus, pine. Not super complex but ok balance. No alcohol or much resin, at least.
