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

(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours quite cloudy orange-gold with a thick white head and lots of lace. Aroma is a nice mix of citrus fruits, tangerine/navel orange sweetness, peppery yuzu and some grapefruit, backed by mixed tropicals like mango and papaya, touches of pine resins and a little weed. Flavour is fairly sweet mango, orange and papaya pureé over nicely bready malt with almost a hint of toast, clear presence of pine needles and citrus oil bitterness, finishing lightly sweet with candied orange and papaya notes and light citrus/cannabis resin bitters and a little lingering malt. Medium-full creamy body, usual Badlands quality mouthfeel. A real nice fruity-dank DIPA, gives the impression of a slightly maltier base but probably just the hops playing tricks.
