Just as the moon’s gravity creates balance in the sea, we’ve collabed with our friends at Sand City to find an equilibrium of flavors with a hop bill of Citra Incognito, Citra Lupomax, Enigma, Nelson, and Eclipse!
Tidal Balance pours opaque in color with flavors of white grape, lemongrass, and dank tropical goodness lined with guava in a mouth-coating flavor and a slight touch of white pepper.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: nice yellow-ed creamy/milky haziness with two and a half fingers worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave lots of messy lace all over the place
Aroma: white grape sweetness, lemongrass but definitely comes across in a sweeter than normal way; melon/guava - somewhat honeydew sorta blend underneath; give it a good ten to 15 minutes and I definitely gives off a delicate jolly rancher sweetness as it keeps warming
Flavor: gently blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet quality then a super light underlying bittersweet character; finishes smooth semi-guava-like with a pinch of white grapes then a subtler note of honeydew
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a touch under; leaning towards being a sipper - just a bit; pretty good smoothness with a super subtle creaminess along the tongue; great low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty nicely done NEDIPA well worthy of returning to.

Intense juicy fruity waves of lemon and pineapple, papaya and honeydew melon, guava and lychee, substantial mouthfeel with a sweet malty backing, nice bitter edge into the dank hoppy finish. Great stuff.

Pours hazy light gold into a snifter. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to mottle surface. Citrus, pineapple and kumquat aromas. Thick with sweet tangerine, white smarties and pineapple upfront turning to guava and papaya before the medium length tangerine pith and peel finish.
