Rocky off white head stayed on deep iron coloured still body. Malt, marmalade & orange aroma. Full bodied, gluey & sticky with clean back. Marmalade, jam, stewed fruit, pine & malt tastes with a bitter hoppy finish. Deece.,

An orange beer, a head is quite small and blond. Aroma has lots of sweet fuitness, peach, apricot, mandarin, fructose, some fruit candies and vanilla. Taste has complex and strong fruitness, peach, quite high sweetness, some alcohol, also bitterness. Full bodied. Huge amount of flavours, quite a monster.

473ml can. Opalescent, orangey, deep golden colour with average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Sweet-ish malty and citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma with slight jelly bear character, notes of orange, mandarine, a touch of pineapple and passion fruit; overall slightly restricted (concerning width), but highly concentrated fruity- and hoppiness. Taste is sweet, pale and caramel malty, tropical and citrusy hoppy, notes of orange, mandarine, some pineapple and passion fruit, tangerine, kumquat, lemon drop; very well hidden alcohol - a minimally warming effect in the finish can't be denied. Oily texture, smooth, soft and silky, if at all minimally cloying palate, very fine and soft carbonation. Very clean, integrated, more an oily hop concentrate than a sparkling hop explosion. With pouring the sediment there is much more (or actually) NEIPA character; you see a hazy orange, there's way more tropical fruitiness, more fruity sweetness, a more juicy fruity character, a yeasty peppery touch, more dank hops, some resinous notes as well. I rarely had this experience before in such an extreme: two rather different beers with the first and second (final) pour. Initially I wanted to doubt the NEIPA rubrication, but erroneously.

On draught at the Hoppin’ Frog Tasting Room. Clear amber-orange color with a medium frothy white head that dissipates gradually to a film. Sticky strings of lace. Aroma of tropical fruit, herbal hop and malt. Full-bodied with flavors of resiny hops, citrus, melon and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a lingering fruity hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

10th April 2020 Can. Almost clear orange gold beer, small cream colour head. Yes, almost clear but it's a hazy dipa. FFS! Smooth palate, some viscosity here, perhaps not surprising given the hefty abv. Modest fine carbonation. Soft sweet malts. Resinous juicy ripe citrus and citrus peel. Soft pine and very mild spice. Ripe tangerine, a little tangerine liqueur. Touch of pink grapefruit on the viscous finish. The added fruits seem to disappear , perhaps a touch of guava. Lacks hop brightness but more than makes up with for it with its intense resinous fruits. Powerful not hazy hazy Triple IPA Nice job. Apart from the style description, that is bollocks.

Huge, oh so huge, with a ridiculous amount of caramel and honey coming from the malts, followed up by citrus and pine before closing out with an unexpectedly funky P.O.G. tartness. Not bad, but the fruit adds unneeded sweetness, especially with the hops already providing all the orange, passion fruit, and guava notes you need. Still, the feel should be commended; 12.8% beers should never be this easy to sip.
