Hazy yellow, small white head. Aroma is sharp citrus, grapefruit, and lemon oils. Medium to high bitterness, pithy, light dankness. Mellon, and stone fruit finish.

Hazy golden colour with a white cap, good stay and some soapy lacing spots. Big Citra and Galaxy hop aromas with loads of citrus (mostly zest, but some juices), tropical fruit notes and hop oils. Getting some stone fruits in the taste with the citrus taking a back seat, and the tropical ones blending things. The mouthfeel is juicy with a nice mild dryness that builds slowly in the end. Again, good lemon zest lingering. Feels like a NEIPA, but alcohol content is more like a Double NEIPA, so a little dangerous in the final :P
