Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy yellow color ale with a medium white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones and some tropical notes, some spicy notes with a semi-dry finale. Taste is also a good mix of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones notes, some tropical notes, some spicy notes and a semi-dry finale. Body is full for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable NEIPA with nice tropical notes but some spicy notes are more or less interesting.

(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours opaque milky pale yellow with a thick white head and good retention/lace. Aroma is tangerine and orange peels, orange and grapefruit bitters, some sweeter candied oranges too, funky dank pineapple Galaxy/VS quality to offset the Amarillo. Flavour is rather dry and not super-juicy for Badlands, orange peel and orange bitters dominate, leafy ground hop cone dankness, some residual orange and peach sweetness, slightly peppery resins, retiring malt with less breadiness than normally shows up in a Badlands beer. Finish is dry, light to moderate bitterness, tingling citrus bitters and underripe pineapple, slight hint of chalkiness. Medium-bodied, very creamy carbonation. Not the juiciest Badlands by a long shot and I could see it being really hot without the month of age I put on it, but not as rough in the finish as GMA.
