Can, from the brewery (Oct 2023). Pours hazy dark yellow with a small foamy light beige head, citrus-apricot aroma, low carbonation, mildly bitter taste with apricot/melon - citrus flavors, faint alcohol undertones, smooth thin body, long juicy finish. Very juicy and easy to drink.

Aromas are cocoa, dark malt, and some roast with chipotle. Flavors are similar to nose, on the sweet side but chipotle comes out more to balance along with enough carbonation and bitter to balance. Pretty good beer.

From Beer Drop, no dating on the can.
It pours a clear orange gold with an inch of foam and good lacing.
The smell is fruity juicy hops with toasted malt, good amount of bitterness, hey, I like Chinook.
The taste is pine and on the spicy side, more dry than the smell indicated to me. Toasted malt is there, this is quite the bitter APA.
Mouthfeel is pretty good; a little too much carbonation for my liking.
Overall, a good example of the style.

Bottle shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Appearance is opaque black with ring of beige head and light lacing. Aroma is strong toffee, honey, cacao. Taste is strong honey, earthy toffee/molasses, lactose. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, nice strength and balance of aroma and flavor.

500 ml bottle. 2020 vintage. The flavor is pretty well balanced. Flavor upfront is honey and soft cocoa. The malts are well roasted and show enough bitterness for balance. Never becomes overly sweet. Lactose provides body without adding sweetness. Nice balance!

No date on the can. Bought from Beer Drop.
Pours a cloudy dark yellow with a small but long lasting head of foam.
Smells of grapefruit citrus, tropical fruit, with that dry hopped aroma that is unmistakable.
Tropical fruit, grapefruit, medium level of dankness, juicy yet dry in the finish.
Good mouthfeel.
Above average NEIPA in my book.
