Pint can from Vintage Estate, 6/4/21. Hazy orange, large frothy tan head, good retention. Aroma of citrus and pine, pale malt. Pretty simple. Taste is dank, pine, grapefruit, pineapple. Mild bitterness, and, of course, juicy. Decent. New Brewery! Brewery # 2053. USA # 1654. North Caroliina # 101.

Super hazy golden, blonde, raw honey and even peach coloured body with a very thick, four to five centimetre tall tan and off-white head. Aroma of bright, grassy, citrusey and piney hops with a bit of candy and sugars at the end with a slight biscuity malt note, too. Medium-bodied; Rich candy sweetness at first that shows grapefruits, kumquats and light apples, but then fades to more of a rich malty and biscuity flavour without any hops, bitterness or complexities. Aftertaste is fairly deep - ranging from the apple and even light stone fruit flavours that show at first to a grassy, dry and herbal, cleanser-like astringency from the malt with a light sweetness at the end and pretty devoid of alcohol, it seems. Overall, a good enough IPA with some pungent, deep flavours that bring out a light sweetness, fruits and interesting hops, but not much bitterness and not really a defined product. This is all over the map, but it's interesting at least! Nice to try fresh as I'm back home in Virginia! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Pentagon Row), Virginia on 04-July-2021 for US$1,67, canned on 07-May-2021 with the tagline 'And we lived beneath the waters in our yellow submarine', sampled at my house here in Washington on 12-August-2021.

Can at Mestre da Cerveja, Lisbon. Hazy orange colour and small white head. Strong mango aroma, some peach. Medium-bodied. Flavour is sweetish mango-peachy, almost puree-like. Suprisingly heavy for 5%. Ok not big fan of these fruit beers.

7.2/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Ridiculously hazy and chunky deep apricot and peach coloured body with an orange glow and a very thick, four to five centimetre tall off-white and rich tan head. Aroma of apricots, pears, plums, mangoes and a bit of peach with some additional lactose and wheat here and a tiny dose of tartness noticeable near the end of the nose. Medium to Full-bodied; Very rich wheatie and lactosey, sweet notes show at first with some of the mango and papaya flavours cutting through at first and then ending with a more straight-forward pear, plum and apricot richness without any tartness at all. Aftertaste is full of flavour and especially wheatie notes with some light yeast here as well, but the softer peaches, apricots and pear flavours finish this off nicely. Overall, a nice and robust, very fruity, super rich and flavourful beer without much complexity, but with this much fruit flavour and wheat packed in here, it can goes down, but without much nuanced flavours. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Wegman's in Alexandria, Virginia on 16-December-2021 for US$1,99 (part of a mixed six pack), sampled in my hotel room here in New York, New York on 09-April-2022 at the start of Spring Break 2022 with my kids and wife.

Solid NEIPA if a bit unremarkable. Juicy notes of peach, mandarin, pineapple, and lime lead to a moderately sweet back end, finishing with a touch of pine and a modest mineral bitterness. Good, but could use better balance between the bitter and sweet notes.
