Poured from a can dated 12/22/25 into a becher pint glass
Appearance. Pours a hazy to murky yellow orange with a slick pillowy white head that dissipates into a thin cover that leaves minimal lacing.
Aroma. Orange and ruby red grapefruit peel dominate the aroma with some over ripe pineapple sneaking in the end.
Flavor. Tends to follow the aroma. Citrus peel, overripe pineapple and pine lead way to a fairly bitter finish.
Texture. Rather prickly on the tongue, light in body. Feels a bit thin for what it is.
Overall it's a run of the mill neipa, one of the better hex and hops beers I've had but doesn't stand out in a saturated hazy/neipa world. It really lacks a punch and is lacking oomph across the board.
