Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: murky brown haziness; two finger white foamy head which tapered off gently to leave some light lace
Aroma: pine, clementine, orange pulp and peach flesh tones through the hops; light clean malts
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet juicy to semi-bitter quality; finishes piney to clementine-like with a little bit of peach
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also a good dry lingering aspect clamping down on the tongue
Overall: I'd say a pretty nicely done NEIPA I would return to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: light brown cardboard haziness with a two and a quarter fingers of white foamy head which tapered off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: melon to citrusy with mangoes and pineapple hop tones; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet juiciness with a little bit of hop zest entering for a touch of balance; finishes citrusy, melon-like and slightly tangerine-like
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness to this one but with some hop assertiveness too - nothing overbearing - just noticeable
Overall: I say a very nicely done NEIPA I would definitely return to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: semi-bright yellow subtle haziness with a two and a quarter fingers of white foamy head which trailed off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: tangerines, oranges and some light notes of lemons and adding in a little bit of citrusy zest with the hops; clean malts further down in there
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet and citrusy zesty quality; finishes zesty citrusy with some tangerines and oranges
Texture: medium bodied, this is a sipper; some smoothness along the tongue but also a little bit of citrus zest acting assertively but mostly non-offensive
Overall: a very nicely done TIPA I would very much want to come back to.

Can at home shared with Laura. Ugly murky yellow color, full sized rough white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, sweetish hoppy, somewhat grassy, but there's something in there, underlying, that I don't like. Something weird.
