44 cl can @ Konttori. Aroma is mild with grapefruit. Flavour has intense grapefruity hops, herbal vibes, some fruitiness. Finishes with mild cereal tones. Strong lingering hoppiness in the aftertaste. Not bad but not exactly my cup of tea.

Can from Glasbanken. Hazy, opaque yellow with mid-sized white head. Super smooth and juicy. Fresh citrus, tropical fruit, melon. Semi sweet, but with a bit of resin as well. Very good!

3rd January 2021 Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts, a very light creamy sweetness. Hops bring some fresh citrus but a fair dose of accompanying peel. Light smooth pine. Trace of tropical fruits. Finishes smooth with a more assertive peel bitterness emerging along with a pinch of hop spice. Bitter peel linger. Not bowling me over this tres expensive and fresh import. It has great balance and very good drinkability but little hop brightness and juicy freshness. Good but I can find DIPAs much more to my taste in the UK and Europe.

Can. This one tastes a little brighter, juicy rich orange and marmalade with a bright citrus edge. Juicy ripe mango and a nice touch of blueberry led candy fruits. Soft pine throughout and a good nibbly hop spice throughout and well in to the aftertaste. Yeah, liked it much more this time.

Another NEDIPA from this - especially in that field - respect craft brewery in Virginia, can shared with Steve. Papery lacing, frothy, egg-white, stable mousy head on a cloudy peach blonde beer with pale orangey tinge. Aroma of tangerine, ripe mango flesh, moist marijuana, pitaya, passionfruit, wet dough, guava, blood orange juice, olive oil, diesel, sweet cicely. Fruity, sweetish onset, lots of aromatic-hoppy mango, guava and kumquat impressions, medium carb but still (refinedly) stinging, full doughy malt sweetishness soaked in hoppy colours of orange cake, stewed shallot, granadilla and papaja but also dank marijuana, until a lightly peppery and bittering effect appears, partially from the hops but also coming from a gin-like alcohol kick, which nevertheless remains muted by the sheer sultriness, dankness and generosity of the hops. This is a lush, vibrant, powerful NEIPA indeed - this brewery being outside of actual New England yet managing to make a name for themselves as NEIPA specialists, comparable with Other Half in New York or even Cloudwater in England, seems fully deserved here. Convincing even for those who remain critical about the haze craze (including myself).
