Can: Poured a hazy super bright yellow color ale with a medium size white foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of citrusy and light tropical hoppy notes is pleasant and refreshing. Taste is a nice mix of citrusy notes with some light tropical flavours, some residual sugar with some light watery notes also perceptible. Body is full with limited filtration and good carbonation. Interesting sessionable NEIPA but light watery feel is slightly bugging me.

Can. Hazy yellow pour, a bit whitish. Nose is softly hoppy, citrus and light fruits. Wheaty base. Taste is well balanced, ligit biscuity feel. Hop dust and dry bitterness in the finish. Tasty, sessionable and has more body than its abv would suggest.

Very cloudy amber white color. Frothy white head. Tons of mangoes, tropical fruits and some white gummy bears in the nose. Pretty full body for 4%., but lacks much complexity. Modest bitter finish. It’s ok.

Mother Kelly's. Keg. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, mild to medium sweetness. Minerals. Hops bring tangy orange and orange peel. Little lemon and hop spice. Somewhat tangy but it goes down okay.

1 pint can, shared by Werckmeister, thanks!
Yellow, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, white head.
Aroma of lemon juice, apricot juice, dankness, grass, passion fruit
Tastes similar, a bit less juicy, but really crisp.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes moderate bitter, a bit sweet, a bit dank, quite juicy, citric, a bit grassy, a bit oaty.
Tasty. Very fresh and balanced, with a lovely, juicy nose, while the taste is really crisp. Great SIPA that is aromatic, but goes down very easy.

Can into a snifter showing very hazy whitish yellow with half a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows pronounced guava, pineapple, and a strong NE style malt backbone. The palate is medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Moderately intense flavours of guava and light pineapple without the acidity and no bitterness on the finish but well supported throughout with a strong NE style backbone.
