Can to tulip.
Appearance: bright red color with a finger and a quarter's worth of white foamy head which fell off nicely to leave some messy sticky lace
Aroma: yes to the passion fruit, yes to the mango, yes to the dragon fruit and a lovely vanilla settling in underneath, subtle sweet grassy hop tones further underneath
Flavor: blends those prior noted aromas together, sweet, bitter, tart and sour; finishes with the vanilla coating those fruits
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper, fair smoothness, nice creaminess on the tongue while blending with those fruits, extremely low hop bitterness
Overall: very nicely done sour IPA I would return to.

500 ml bottle. Aroma is caramel, maple, soft vanilla. The flavor is mellow vanilla, raisins, light maple nuances with just enough bourbon to cut the sweetness. No alcohol noted anywhere. Smooth oily texture across the tongue. Wow, candy in a glass that never gets too sweet. Amazing!

Bottle shared by CLW--thanks, Chris! Virtually opaque, maple syrup brown, light viscosity, no head/lacing. Aroma is strong caramel, brown sugar, dark fruit, bourbon. Taste is strong vanilla, raisin/dark fruit, maple, caramel, bourbon all in lovely harmony. Smooth, silky texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation, mellow finish as taste; zero sign of alcohol. This is so smooth and mellow, you could just sip it forever. Exceptional aroma, taste, texture; super balanced and complex.

A hazed golden ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light ground cherry, light lactic notes, light cereals, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity mix of tart cherries, lactic acid notes, Epsom salts, very nice.

Pours a hazy, grapefruit-orange juice color, with smallish head. Aroma is juicy citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish. Absolutely outstanding.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: clean murky orange color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off eloquently to leave some messy lace
Aroma: citrusy, pineapple and danky hop tones, mild biscuity malts
Flavor: bittersweet through the prior mentioned aromas; brisk aftertaste of the pineapple and citrusy tones
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper; semi-smooth; finishes semi-creamy with pineapple and danky tones
Overall: a very nicely done NEDIPA well worthy of having again.

Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: opaque yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated to leave some lace
Aroma: juicy citrusy fruity hoppiness, clean malts
Flavor: semi-sweet juicy hoppiness blending extremely nice with the clean malts; eloquently smooth hoppy aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, semi-dry juicy finish
Overall: I'd say a very nicely done NEPA more than worthy of rerurning to.
