16 oz. Looks like foamy orange juice, as thick and orange as OJ, with a huge bubbly dark orange head that collapses pretty quickly into nothing. The mango and tangerine both come through lightly in the nose and that's about it. Taste is light to moderately sweet, with a moderately bitter hop bite. Like a mango and citrus fruit smoothie with added hops. Fucking weird. Doesn't taste too bad, though.

Roasty, chocolately, dark malty aroma with a minimally ashy-smoky touch, light fruity hoppy overtones, notes of dark chocolate, chocolate sauce, couverture, hints of honey, blueberry, plum butter, a touch of roasted nuts and Marsala. Taste is roasty, chocolately and minimally ashy, dark malty, slightly fruity hoppy, notes of dark chocolate, Belgian chocolate, plum butter, blueberry, some alcohol, a touch of Marsala. Oily to viscous texture, minimally cloying palate, minimally coarse, relatively prickly carbonation. Comes close to a Baltic Porter - very nice dessert beer.

Pours unclear, darker blonde. medium sized, stable white creamy head. Smell is intense, rich tropical fruits (papaya, mango, passion fruit, ... very nice! Taste is rleatively bitter, perhaps slightly too bitter for a NEIPA, yet not extreme. Medium body (not as creamy as I had hoped). Fairly easy drinkability. Decent IPA
