From Beer Drop, no dating on the can.
Pours a hazy orange yellow with a finger of foam, retention and lacing are excellent.
Smell is citrus, yeasty, pepper, coriander with hints of banana and cloves. Dry is a good description of the smell.
Taste is citrus, yeast, pepper, coriander, cloves, light banana, light bitterness. Overall on the quite dry side.
Medium bodied, I have another can which makes me happy.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange to almost copper color with a sly transparency about it and a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet grapefruity to orangey hop notes with some piney hops and a side glance of some mango sweetness
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to semi-bittersweet sort of arrangement; finishes long and semi-juicy through the grapefruity and orangey tones
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness and also a little bit of stickiness but nothing cloying; low hop bitterness; low-ish carb level (somewhat)
Overall: not as sticky as the 2020 version as this one had great aromas and flavors. I think I would come back to this one.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark burnt orange almost copper color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: soft grapefruity pulp to mango-ish to papaya-like sweetness with some slight sweet coconut tones
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to semi-bittersweet sort of quality; finishes semi-juicy and somewhat long with mango and grapefruity tones
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness with lingering semi-juicy stickiness not cloying but noticeable; low-ish carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty nicely done NEDIPA for the most part though it did seem like it was getting borderline "mobile."

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: burnt yellow to almost copper color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to melon to guava hop notes come out very expressively with a little bit of coconut further down in there; super light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet juicy to bittersweet juicy quality; finishes very juice forward with the melon to mixed citrusy vibes
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; very smooth along the tongue with nothing distracting anywhere; good carb level - low-ish; and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: I tend to think this might have been one of the best of this series though some of my friends think 1 is the best, it might be a toss up between both 1 and 8.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange with some copper/bronze hues surrounding the main color and a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace

Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes semi-bitter with a super light note of dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue; low-ish carb and medium to low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nice enough IPA somewhere between an AIPA and a NEIPA.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: hazed over orange color with a slight transparency a little here and there around the glass and a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: piney to floral to slightly orangey and grapefruity with a slight pop of passion fruit and gooseberry; ever so slight note of clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet juicy to bittersweet quality; finishes semi-bittersweet and a pinch of dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied; slightly sessionable; great smoothness along the tongue with barely anything distracting; low-ish carb; and medium to low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: they call it a NEIPA but part of me wonders if this was more geared towards an AIPA which is still good and I would welcome this again.

Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet juicy to bittersweet juicy quality; finishes pineapple-y to orangey juicy toned
Texture: medium bodied; slightly sessionable; superbly smooth with nothing distracting; nice low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: a very nicely done NEIPA I would very much love to come back to.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a finger's worth of cream colored foamy head which settled off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: black coffee with a touch of coffee creamer and some cocoa powder with a light clean caramel/toffee malty backbone
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bitter to slightly roasty contour with a nice finish of roasty to dry sweet and a pinch of cocoa powdery siltiness
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue with nothing distracting; great carb level
Overall: nicely done Irish dry stout that may be a touch smoother than a lot of Americanized versions of many Irish dry stouts.
