I purchased a 16 oz can at the local craft beer store two weeks ago. Never got sold entirely on the NE style thing but there have certainly ones I have liked, particularly when they are imperials. My ABGB snifter has been taken down from the cabinet for this sampling, I make the pour. A hazy orange body certainly followed by a stupendous head of orange-tan foam, something I have never seen before. The scent is a decent combination of citrus in general, oranges specifically and pine. The drink is, well, it is pretty fine in the style. Cedar, sweet oranges, crackers, citrus, a decent amount of hops, all with an amount of bitterness and certainly with a lot of presence, an aspect of the high ABV, I am convinced. This brew is more of a hybrid between WC and NE in my opinion and it works. Tasty.
