16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/7/2019. Pours very hazy deep golden/orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, green peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, biscuit, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, green peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, biscuit, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, green peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 5.7%. Overall this is an awesome NEIPA. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish; great soft feel. Awesome Ekuanot, Citra, Simcoe profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a great balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressively spot on style example.

16 oz can from Tavour, 11/3/19. Hazy yellowish-orange color, foamy white head. Green, fruity, and herbal. Lime, mango, and pineapple. Lively feel, moderately dry close. Pretty nice, though it falls off a hint toward the finish. 8/4/7/3/15

16 oz can from Tavour, 10/31/19. Darker orange haze, with a sheeting head and fairly heavy lace. Coconut and vanilla completely dominate the hops here, so it's hard for me to tell if I like the underlying beer. I'm sure there's some hop goodness going on, but it is too masked. Overall, I like the taste, but I felt like the balance between the adjuncts and the hops could use some fine tuning. 7/4/6/3/14

16 oz. Canned a little over a month ago. Aroma is fruit cocktail, coconut, vanilla, orange, citrus rind. Pours murky orange with a one finger bone-white head with decent retention. Taste is lightly bitter, moderately sweet, juicy, with tropical and citrus flavors. Really tasty.
