Quarantine Beer #001 sampled at home on 03/14/2020. Hazy golden color with a medium white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Resiny hops, fruit and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of herbal hops, tropical fruit and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 6/14/2019. Pours very hazy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, biscuit, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, biscuit, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, biscuit, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is a fantastic NEIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Awesome soft feel, and not aggressive. Fantastic Mosaic, Citra, and Amarillo profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a great balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding spot on style example.

Tap bowser's, nice place. Slight haze on pale, not really a NE IPA, its just a little hazy. Sweet BO aroma, like your mate after sex. Reminds me of diesel. Bitter hop beer. Mouth coating almost astringent blast. What up with these bitter bastard big IPA styles? Straight up terribly on style IPA ass. Rude, IPA is simply rude. There, you have it. IPAWTF!

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Bert's Better Beers. Appearance is cloudy yellow with light sparkle, finger-width fizzy white head with poor retention and trace lacing. Aroma is moderately strong citrus, pineapple, tropical fruit and hint of herb. Taste is equal parts sweet over tart citrus and herb. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste with dry, lingering bitterness. Overall, I thought there was a real winner here based on the aroma but the taste didn't quite deliver. Still good but could have been much more.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving soapy bubbles. Stale malt aromas. Soft with sourdough and overripe fruit front to back.

Tall Can Tall Can. Hazy yellow with a white head. The aroma is citrus and tropical fruits. As is typical for the style, this is like a fruit juice drink of some kind with a beer twist. It still has some IPA characteristics, but it still has the juiciness that the style so often exhibits.
