The brewers loaded it with planet-sized doses of Mosaic, Citra, and Galaxy Hops to create swirling nebulas of hoppy goodness.
Tasting Notes
Look for supernovas of OJ flavor with twinkling notes of pineapple, orange, and berry. And it’s all orbiting a super soft body surrounded by a faint ring of malty sweetness.

Can from Tavour. Pours dirty/hazy gold with a moderate white head that persisted. Aroma of orange and more. Med body at least. Juicy, but not very sweet, and there's enough bitter to fairly balance it. Flavor is orange, passion fruit and something like lychee. Mellows into something a little earthy. Nice drink.

Draught @ Beer on the Wall-Park Ridge, IL. Pours extremely hazy dark yellow with a small frothy off-white head, citrus aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter orange peel taste with mango, thin body, long juicy finish. Juicy NEIPA.

Sample at GABF 10/05/2019, thanks to kathryneels for assistance with note-taking. Cloudy bright orange color with a medium bone white head that recedes quickly to a film. Short strings of lace. Resiny hops, fruit and malt aromas. Medium body with flavors of herbal hops, dank fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a resiny hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
