Pour is hazy IPA hazy with a large white head. Aroma is a citrus fruit cocktail with orange being the predominate fruit. Flavor is more orange juice with some bitter citrus and a little white sugar sweetness. Pretty much spot on hazy IPA. A little more bitterness and sweetness keeps it interesting.

16 ounce can. Opaque dark brown color. Small creamy tan head. Roasted malt nose has obvious notes of raspberry. Roasted malt flavor hints at dark chocolate and tart raspberry. Thin bodied. Tart, bitter finish. A bit lacking overall. Could use some more depth in the malt and raspberry components.

Wish it was creamier of a cream ale, kinda straight up golden ale with a huge jalapeno nose, the flavor is lacking though but the huge nose makes up for it, maybe.

Can, from City Hops. Pours hazy dark orange with foamy off-white head, vanilla and faint coffee aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter coffee beans taste with vanilla flavor, smooth body,.long finish. Interesting brew, coffee dominated but it could also be called a Strong Ale, instead of Stout.

16 ounce can. Amber orange color. Small frothy beige head. Sweet toasted malt nose hints at vanilla and coffee. Bittersweet toasted malt flavor. Notes of coffee, brown sugar and cocoa. Doesn't look like a stout, doesn't smell like a stout and doesn't taste like a stout. Is it really a stout?

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 7/24/2018. Pours moderately hay/cloudy deep golden amber/slight orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, green pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, green pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, green pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Mildly increasing warmth of 8.75% after the finish. Overall this is an awesome NEDIPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the ABV with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not aggressive. Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe, and Apollo hops. Awesome balanced mix of juicy, dank, and earthy hop complexity; great wheat/oat/malt balance, not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Loved the hop profile.

Pour looks like fruit juice with a large white head. Aroma is orange juice for days. Orange peel, orange juice everything oranges. Flavor is again pretty much all orange juice with a little bitterness after the swallow. Sure it's one dimensional with pretty much all orange juice flavor but extremely fruity and fresh.

Can from Cap Tap. Pours light brassy gold with a foamy white head. Aroma of jalapeno with some supportive rather light malt. Med body or so. Flavor is jalapeno with some citrus fruit. The chili is not disturbingly hot. It’s mainly jalapeno flavor with very mild heat. It is actually quite nice. My body indicates capsaicin is not very present. Nice ale.
