Hard Rain is super fresh and packed to the gills with a blend of 3 complimentary hops which create a pungent combination of bright orange and pineapple flavor and aroma. A simple malt base with a large amount of flaked grains ensures that the hop flavor will dominate the sensory experience of this beer accompanied by a velvety smooth mouthfeel and subtle honey-sweet flavor to the finish.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: murky orange cardboard color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapple/tropical fruity hop tones mesh nicely for a nice blend over some clean malts
Flavor: bittersweet juiciness meshing nicely; then a light aftertaste of tropical fruitiness
Texture: medium bodied, some sessionability, fairly smooth along the tongue; finishes tropical fruity hoppy sweet
Overall: I'd say a nicely done NEIPA I would have again.

Aroma is mostly citrus with a hint of tropical fruit. Flavor has moderate citrus with a mild herb finish. Tropical fruit would be a stretch but I could see pineapple I guess. Reasonable brew!
