Can at West 4th and Jane. Hazy orange with a medium white head. A bit sweet with mild hops, some fruit, bread and notes of lactose. The body was medium and the bitterness on the light side.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours bright gold with a white head. Aroma is dry and bready with a citrus bit. Med body. Flavor is dry, some bread/caramel and a decent amount of hop which seems to be a rather spritely citrus. A pleasant level of bitterness. Crisp and clean might apply.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma is floral and fruity. Med body. Flavor is definitely fruity with some floral support. Flavor is slightly bready with a lot of hop - and it is definitely bitter. Clean and crisp too. It has a pleasing snap to it. Good.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours hazy gold with a large white head. Aroma of pineapple and tea. Med body or so. Rather dry. Pineapple is definitely in the picture, but there seems to be some tea resembling jasmine. I'm not the expert on tea, but I used to drink a lot of jasmine tea. Bitter, tho not necessarily hoppily bitter. Quite different, but nice flavor.

16 oz can poured, picked up along the brew crawl in San Diego. A darker golden orange pour, but very clean. Frothy head. Aroma is some slightly rich malt, and a little wood. Taste is unique, some wood and botanical notes. Touch of floral. Wood like dry finish. Dry gin late linger. IPA style remains intact through all the unique qualities this one offers. Really interesting brew here.

Very crisp and dry, a bit citric and grapy on the nose. Pleasant

Got in a trade with RaulMondesi. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/14/2018. Pours fairly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of mandarin orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, watermelon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, vanilla, lactose, and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of mandarin orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, watermelon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, cream, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, zesty, herbal, floral, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, watermelon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, vanilla, lactose, and bready malt flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is a very nice milkshake NEIPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, vanilla, lactose, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Great soft feel. Very nice El Dorado, Bru-1, Mandarina profile. Very juicy and slightly dank/earthy hops; great balanced vanilla, lactose, and wheat/oat/malt backbone. Not overly sweet from lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive style example. Softer carb and stronger aromas would have made it great.
