Poured from a can into a willi becher pint glass

Appearance - pours a hazy golden color, two fingers of foamy head that dissipates into a light top cover leaving a good amount of sticky lacing

Aroma - notes of fresh orange and lime with some lemon and grass in there as well

Flavor - reminiscent of the aroma but everything's muddled up giving a generic citrus flavor with a assertive bitterness in the finish

Texture - medium light body, prickly carbonation

Overall - they call it a session IPA but at almost 6% it's rather light and one dimensional for me. With so many IPAs out there this could use a little more umph to stand out in the crowd. It's good not great

Can from Beer Republic. Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, fruity and moderate hoppy - citrus. Flavor is quite sweet and rather bitter. Dry and rather bitter finish. 090326

7.8/10
I have a soft spot for spicy beers. The Jalapeno is present and lingering. Despite the heat, it is rather smooth.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange cardboard color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate then provide some light sticky lace
Aroma: floral to pineapple to papaya hop notes up front then some light notes of grapefruit & clementine riding in underneath with a clean malt bill
Flavor: semi-bittersweet to bitter comibining the prior noted aromas; finishes juicy sweet with the papaya, grapefruit and a lighter hint of pineapple
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, great smoothness, nice low carb; medium to low hop bitterness
Overall: a nicely done NEDIPA I'd return to.

Pint can. Tangerine aroma with notes of orange, pumpkin, spice, clove, vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin and grapefruit. Pours hazy golden-orange colored with a finger of off white head that has excellent retention and some lacing. Starts with juicy orange, tangerine, pumpkin spice and pumpkin flavors. Finishes smooth with clove, vanilla, cinnamon and grapefruit flavors. It’s different, but the flavors kinda muddle together. Decent.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: semi-dark copper with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruity, sweet onions, grassy hoppiness; light clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a good bittersweet way; finishes grapefruity and semi-oniony
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, nice low carb, good smoothness
Overall: it's on it's way of being a NEIPA but the appearance doesn't have that thick look to it, I will say that.
