turbid amber golden white, Dank juicy, with nice carapils and rye. Dank juicy and odd mix with the grains but well executed and not bad. I wouldn’t make a similar beer but as good as they can do with these ingredients

Can courtesy of @nc41. Thanks Nick!

It pours a hazy orange yellow with an impressive and long lasting head of foam. Lacing is equally as impressive.

Tropical fruit and grapefruit aromas, somewhat dank, has some sweet fruity notes, a wee bit of alcohol.

Fruity, tropical, grapefruit, dank, hint of onion or maybe not. Sweet notes that are usually associated with a DIPA, some alcohol burn during the swallow.

Close to full bodied for the style, carbonation is just right.

It's very good. That I cannot deny. TY Nick!

The Aromas are kind of a weird combo of qualities fresh hops, good and bad fruit, burnt rubber. Same thing with a flavors very sweet at first, followed by citrusy and bitter, then a lingering mild bitterness and it's not quite balanced. Not bad but not great.

Got in a BIF from Dragginballs76. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 10/9/2018. Pours very hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, watermelon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, watermelon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, watermelon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Mildly increasing warmth of 8% after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic NEDIPA. All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV, with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Not overly aggressive, nice soft feel. Awesome Azacca, El Dorado, Citra profile. Very juicy, and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; with great wheat/oat/malt balance. Minimal residual sweetness from lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. Just a bit too resinous/drying than I'd prefer.

Sample at Hoof Hearted during the "South of Eleven vs Maxxx Profitz - Dual Can Release" event on 07/01/2018. Cloudy golden color with a medium white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Strings of lace. Piney hops, citrus and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of resiny hops, citrus and mildly spicy rye malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a piney hop aftertaste. Decent overall.
