Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 4/6/2019. Pours opaquely hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate 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, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great 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 and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly sticky/resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 5.8%. Overall this is a delicious NEIPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Solid softness, and not aggressive. Great Simcoe/Cascade profile. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a great wheat/oat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example. A bit over carbonated, but was not a bad thing.

Can from Huskertan, thanks! Pours copper with frothy head that leaves lacing all over the place. Aroma is pine and grapefruit, but really leaning in on the pine. Taste is quite bitter... really in a sense you seldom aee these days in modern IPAs. Body is pretty smooth. I can't say I dig this style like I did ten years ago, but this is still solid.

Draft. A- Weak, malty. A- Copper color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Watery, malty, caramel. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, bland finish. O- It is a mild ale to be fair but the aroma and flavor were super mild. Sitting by someone that smelled like she just had a cigarette made it even harder to detect flavors in the beer. I suppose it was okay.

Draft. A- Tutti fruiti bubble gum, toothpaste. A- Copper color, clear liquid, white head. T- Bubble gum, fruity, mild bitterness. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly sweet finish. O- Not sure what to suggest about this. Not really bitter like an American Barleywine and not a lot of caramel malt like a English barleywine. This was unique to it's own. A bit floral and fruity. Interesting. Could work.

Draft. A- Bland, mild hibiscus. A- Dark pink color, hazy liquid, off white head. T- Fruity, hibiscus. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, bland finish. O- Okay. Some hibiscus surprisingly. Usually you can't ever taste that in a beer. Not a lot of flavor otherwise. No bitterness really.

Draft. A- Musty, stale, weak tea. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Tart, lemon, mild tea. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, bland finish. O- One can assume this should resemble an Arnold Palmer. This seems to be a newer craze as I've had a few of these styles now. This sorta worked but it wasn't really sour or all too flavorful. Okay.

Draft. A- Tortillas, flour, stale. A- Orange color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Vomit, citrus. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, astringent finish. O- Smelled okay I guess, but the flavor was like puke. Tasted like I just gagged up some bread and orange juice. Not a fan of this one.

Draft. A- Wheat, citrus. A- Gold color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Lemon, soapy, oranges. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- A style that is typically bland. This was well done but doesn't offer any shock factor, not that it needs to. Almost had a mild creamsicle feel to it. Decent.
