Can to tulip.
Appearance: mild burnt yellow color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which slid off delicately to leave some light messy lace
Aroma: some light citrusy to passion fruity and peachy hops; light clean malts
Flavor: somewhat bittersweet but sometimes seemed like it was moderating between bitter then sometimes sweet; decent aftertaste of peach and passion fruit
Texture: medium bodied, between being sessionable and somewhat a sipper; light smoothness but also some hop grip; finishes quick with the peachy to passion fruity hop spice
Overall: it's not a bad NEDIPA, though nothing that would knock my socks off, I believe I still could come back to.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Smooth pale malts, a touch of grain, nothing serious but, for me, too creamy sweet. Light cooling pine. Sweetish citrus and stone fruits, a little candy fruits. No, too sweet for me.

Draught thanks to Addicted2craftbeer. Unclear murky yellow color, average sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, fruity hoppy, tropical fruit hoppy, sweetish up front, moderately bitter. Very nice.

Can (1/29/25) from Andover Classic Wines. Opaque orange juice with a couple of dark floaties, decent sparkle, thin head with fair retention and nice lacing. Aroma is citrus, stone fruit, mango, hint of spicy herb. Taste is strong mango, stone fruit, citrus, bread, hint of herb. Smooth, creamy texture, medium bodied, average carbonation and finish as taste. Excellent strength, decent complexity and something a little different. Very nice!
