Crystal Cover is brewed with grains from Maine Malthouse, featuring New Zealand hop varieties of Riwaka and Kohatu, as well as a touch of Amarillo.
Pouring an opaque, deep gold color, the result is a beautiful patchwork of mixed-citrus, woodsy pine, and wine-like hop aromas. We pick up notes of grapefruit juice, Riesling, guava, subtle pine resin, and a pleasant hint of toasted malt.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: an absolutely beautiful grapefruity rind hazy color with a finger's worth of white foamy head
Aroma: melon/honeydew, some lychee, subtle sweet grass, soft white bread
Flavor: bittersweet blend of previously noted aromas, semi-juicy like, quick juicy aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, smooth, semi-creamy, quick smooth juicy finish
Overall: a magnificently wonderful blissful NEIPA. I absolutely would love to revisit this beer!

16 oz can. Thank you Tom on the share! From Andover Classic Wines. Aroma has mild floral, mango, and yeast. Flavor is a direct copy. Juicy texture with a zero bitterness characteristic. Well made!

Pours murky gold into a tulip. White head with little retention recedes to mottle surface leaving sheet lacing. Hot lychee, melon and mild pine aromas. Soft with sweet overripe cantaloupe and apricot upfront turning to slightly tart pear before the medium length dry tangerine finish.
