Our take on the increasingly popular, NEIPA. Excessively hopped with Vic Secret, Citra, Sultana, and Mouteka. Enjoy notes of pineapple, tropical fruit, and citrus.

7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
Taster pour on tap at NH Brewers Festival. Appearance is hazy, bright, highlighter yellow with trace sparkle, thin ring of off-white head. Aroma is really nice and strong fruit--like fruit salad--identifiable peach, yogurt, watermelon, really nice. Taste has only a mild version of the fruit from the aroma with a strong, harsher grapefruit contribution both in flavor and bitterness. It doesn't seem to belong with the other flavors. It's like someone went to a potluck and took a tasty fruit salad and sabotaged it with grapefruit. Bitterness at back of mouth and tongue. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft-to-average carbonation with a lively kick at the end. Finishes with a lingering, slightly harsh bitterness at the back of the mouth and tongue. Overall, appearance is good and aroma is amazing and this would be fantastic if it tasted like it smelled but the grapefruit drags down both flavor and mouthfeel.
