Pour is a murky orange with a large white head. Aroma is a real nice pineapple and tangerine. Super fruity. Flavor is again a nice juicy fruit hop. No bitterness or malt. This is pure fruity and juicy hops. The only weird thing about this beer is that the bottom of the can gives this a 1 year shelf life. I don't know about that but as it is right now it is very juicy and flavorful.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 6/29/2018. Pours very hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Slight resins/rinds near the end of the glass. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6.5%. Overall this is a very nice NEIPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; Very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Nice soft feel. This tastes like 100% Simcoe hops. Juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy balanced hop complexity; nice spelt/oat/pale malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example as expected.
