Hazy, golden-yellow colour with a frothy white head, good retention and nice creamy-foamy lacing. Fresh citrus aromas with a touch of white wine grapes and hints of vanilla-oats. Some good tropical fruits in the taste with light citrus zest, juices and a touch of grapes. A wet, juicy mouthfeel with a tad dryness in the end. A nice, refreshing NEIPA with everything blending well, not overpowering and just juicy.

Hazy, golden-orange colour with a beautiful, creamy, warm white-yellowish head that last very long, leaving some sticky-foamy lacing. Hop particles fall to the bottom of the glass eventually. Big orangy aromas with tropical notes and a herbal touch. The taste really shows the nectarines, with many other fruitiness (tropical-stone fruits), a little warming alcohol and melons lingering with a tad grassiness. Quite a refreshing, juicy Triple NEIPA with a different touch - less citrus, more nectarines and melons.

Draft at the Beer Temple, Amsterdam. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grassy, piney, tropical citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a fresh, smooth, rich, juicy tropical citrus, mango, light pineapple, light hop bitter palate. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Hazy, golden-orange colour with a huge, creamy warm off-white head, great retention and full sticky lacing. Orange, tropical fruits, mild melon in the aromas with a tad grassiness. A wet, silky mouthfeel with very light-building dryness. A bunch of tropical fruit flavours with a melon, berry touch. Quite an interesting, juicy, refreshing, full tropical notes Triple NEIPA that does the job.

Hazy, golden colour with an orange hue, a big frothy-creamy, warm off-white head, good retention and decent foamy lacing spots. Big fruity aromas with orange juice, nectarines and other stone-tropical fruits. Small particles, like spices come tumbling halfway. Some good tropical fruit notes in the taste, but some bitter, drying, grassy hoppiness takes over in the finish. A nice Double NEIPA for those who prefer the drying-hoppy end.

Hazy golden colour with an orange hue, a frothy warm-white head, good retention and full sticky-foamy lacing. Pineapple aromas with some nice tropical fruitiness and hints of stone fruits, citruses, funk. The taste shows the fruits, but on the mild side, with a touch of earthiness. A decent, drinkable, juicy NEIPA with just a tad of Brett.

Dark brown colour with a mocha-coloured head that seems pretty big, but does not lasts long, with no lacing left. Getting some cherry notes in the nose, with nice chili-cinnamon spiciness, chocolate and hints of vanilla. A wet mouthfeel, not feeling too thick, a little slick, a tad oily and a decent drying-spicy finish. Some good roasted-chocolate malts as base with the cacao, some good peppery heat, and some vanilla to calm things down a bit. Not a bad Pastry Stout, that is not too sweet, has nice spiciness, vanilla to balance things.

Hazy golden colour with an amber hue, a white frothy cap, good stay and some foamy lacing clouds left. Orange, grapefruit aromas with tropical-stone fruit notes and a touch of pine needles. Some good grapefruit zest in the taste, with orange juice to blend things. Hints of wax appear in the end. A wet, juicy mouthfeel with a light, slow building, growing dryness. Not a bad NEIPA with the HBC 522 hops from Yakima Chief that starts off juicy-fruity, but ends up being on the dryer, hoppy finish.

Hazy, golden-orange colour with a frothy-creamy, white-yellowish head, good retention and some soapy lacing spots. Some good citrus in the nose with eventually, mango notes and other tropical fruitiness. Even getting some vanilla hints. The mouthfeel is wet, slightly oily-creamy with some slow building dryness. A touch of booziness lingers nicely, without over warming. I did not like this one, the first time it came out, but seems to be better balanced this second time. I also really enjoyed the two other Triple NEIPAs that came after this one.
