Draft at Pizza Peel on Central Ave. Hazy to cloudy golden yellow color medium white head. Passionfruit and citrus aroma. Taste is tart tropical fruit. No lactose, yay.

Draft at Pour Taproom. Murky yellow color big white head. Lemon bread aroma. Taste is gritty lemon. NEIPA certainly not a session

From a pint can on Thanksgiving at the OBX. Pours a clear gold with an off white head. Aromas are fruity and grassy. Flavors are bitter citrus rind. Lingering bitter finish.

Draft at Pour Taproom in Charlotte. Brown color tan head. Cocoa aroma. Taste is sweet smooth chocolate. I don't really get any of the smoke

Just off from a crystal clear copper and light amber coloured body with a small, single centimetre all pure white head that fades pretty quickly. Aroma of alcohol, resin, light malts, cardboard and a ton of astringent alcohol and medicinal notes - quite potent and not very pleasing. Medium-bodied; Strong nutty flavours from somewhere (malt) with a dose of grain, cardboard, funk, yeast, alcohol, fruits (apples) and a bit more of the astringent malt and alcohol noticeable here, but no real hops to speak of and the bitterness only from the funky malt and alcohol combination. Aftertaste shows some pungency from the grain, alcohol and very subtle grassy and resinous hops that shows funk and alcohol with no real sweetness and no bitterness at all - this is perhaps more of a biscuity, grainy IPA and way further removed from an Imperial IPA. Overall, a pretty poor beer throughout with only some moderate malt and yeast flavours to make this partially decent, but there is almost no discernable hop or bitter flavours to make this even close to any sort of IPA and thus making this a misnomer at best, but just an overall poor beer in generality. I sampled this pint-sized can purchased from the Good Bottle Company in Charlotte, North Carolina on 09-May-2018 for US$3,75 sampled at home in Washington on 15-June-2018.

Ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a thin, perhaps at most single centimetre tall just off-white coloured head. Aroma of tropical fruits, guava, passionfruit and pineapple along with a touch of supportive malts and a hint of alcohol near the finish. Medium-bodied; Assertive tropical fruits and grassy flavours at first with a nice balanced malt bite right behind with a dash of white pepper and a touch of herbal and perfumey elements. Aftertaste shows more tropical fruit and citrusey and lightly grassy notes throughout with a very pleasant bite from the fruits, but a great balance throughout of the malt with all these greatly nuanced hops. Overall, a great and well structured IPA with a nice bit of lightly grassy, but very fruity, tropical fruity hops that are noticeable early on and show the passionfruit and guava notes that you'd want but still not showing much alcohol at all! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased from Good Bottle Company in Charlotte, North Carolina on 09-May-2018 for US$3,00 just eight days ago, sampled at home in Washington on 17-May-2018.
