On tap at MBGSF 2018. Pours a pale yellow with a white head. Aroma is kind of weird. Wet grain? Flavor is salty, very tart, passion fruit, kind of herbal. I wrote in here "I like it but it's weird."

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 12/19/2017. Pours slightly hazy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of huge apricot, orange, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon, lime, citrus zest, slight pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Incredible aromas with amazing complexity of fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge apricot, orange, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon, lime, citrus zest, slight pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Pretty much zero bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of apricot, orange, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon, lime, citrus zest, slight pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with no cloying sweetness after the finish. Very mild dryness from lingering hop oils. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 6.8%. Overall this is an amazing NEIPA! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and insanely easy to drink with with the very minimal bitterness. Even without any haze, this nails the style. Insanely juicy tropical/stone fruit hop complexity; balanced malts without being overly sweet/heavy feeling. A highly amazing offering.

16 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 5/26/2017. Pours slightly hazy pale straw/yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with solid retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lemon, orange, pear, apple, cracker, corn, white bread, herbal, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Okay aromas with balanced fruity yeast, pale malt, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. A bit too fruity/yeasty, but not overwhelming. Taste of lemon, orange, pear, apple, cracker, corn, white bread, herbal, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, pear, apple, cracker, corn, white bread, herbal, pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of fruity yeast, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, fairly grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is good. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is a decent cream ale. All around solid robustness and balance of fruity yeast, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. Flavorful for the ABV, but not as crisp and refreshing as it needs to be for the style. Should be cleaner on the yeast character as well. A fairly enjoyable offering.
