Solid Wall of Sound

Buh-buh-buh, Bennie and the Jets!--Love the EJ reference. Can (date on top of 4-pack 12/15/20 so right at outermost edge of peak freshness) from Table and Vine. It's a deeply hazy light brown-dark yellow with tons of sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is fairly strong citrus and dank pine along with some secondary fruit (gets more tropical as it warms). Taste follows aroma with citrus and pine with late additional fruit followed by bitterness. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and dry, yeasty finish with moderate lingering bitterness. Overall, not a bad first exposure to this brewer and think this is misclassified--UT has as standard NEIPA, BA as an American IPA--and it seems to fit nicely in between as it's more in line with a hazy-looking, slightly juicy West Coast IPA. As that, it delivers reasonably well. Getting more of the citrus and pine notes noted in the lengthier description (UT) with growing tropical fruit as it warms but still restrained, but some of that could be hops degradation due to age.
