Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark yellow to orange woody toned with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: cantaloupe, pear and piney hops with a great clean malt bill
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a refined bittersweet quality; finishes piney and melon-like
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, nice low carb, very smooth along the tongue
Overall: a very nicely done NEIPA worthy of returning to.

Can (7/3/24) from One Stop Market. Hazy, dark yellow with tons of sparkle, nice head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong candied pineapple with overripe, slightly tart tropical fruit, melon. Taste as aroma but second half has strong pilsner malt. Smooth, creamy texture from wheat, soft carbonation and crisp finish as taste.

Canned 8/30/23, drunk 10/5/23. Gently hazy, tangerine-papaya. Small, white head, quickly to ring. Super fruity with tons of melon, tangerine, simple sugar and seemingly low bitterness. Clean enough. Sort of simplistic and sweet. Soft with some bitterness up front, actually. Melon and papaya with some punchy pineapple. Some pleasant graininess to the texture, helps mitigate the soft and sweet. Malts are pretty sweet, though, overall. Meh, going to dump this. It's wholly inoffensive, but just uninspired and sweet without the flavor to match its size.
