473ml can. Cloudy, orange golden colour with average to huge, frothy to creamy, osteoporosing, moderately lacing, white head. Tropical fruity, slighty citrusy fruity and minimally floral, hoppy aroma, pale and wheaty malty, minimally caramel malty background, hints of passion fruit and mango, some orange. Taste is initially slightly tropical fruity and citrusy fruity hoppy, pale and wheaty malty, minimally caramel malty basis, hints of mango, passion fruit, orange, later increasingly bitter and perfumed citrusy hoppy, notes of lemon, lemon peel, a touch of yuzu; the malty basis turns to meaky rye malty in the finish.
Slightly creamy, watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, creamy, mildly prickly carbonation.
Quite hybrid West Coast NEIPA, crisp West Coast bitterness and low residual sweetness on one hand, creamy mouthfeel and rather juicy fruity hop flavours on the other; probably some rye malt in the mix as well - nice try to unite two generations of IPA (drinkers).
