12oz can. A rather awesome $5.49 a sixpack! Not really that much of a hazy....maybe some Mosaic in there, but overall drinks more like a Session IPA. Mild wheat tones. Pleasant hop depth, some more classical rindy tones balance out the mild peachy-orange-mango tones. Solid beer overall, just wish they hadn't exploited the NE moniker.

12oz can. Unfiltered orange-tan body. Steady off-white head. Aroma is old school, resinous, piney, oily, charred. Taste is the same. Certainly not a modern flavor profile for a beer that came out in 2018. Tastes like a mediocre NW beer of 20 years ago. Drinkable, but a pretty unimpressive showcase of Amarillo.

Got in a trade with GreenBayBA. 12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy deep orange/copper/light reddish color with a 1 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, orange, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, light toffee, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, orange, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, light toffee, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, orange, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, light toffee, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness/resins. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.2%. Overall this is a delicious imperial red! All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Really classic tasting west coast style. Feels like Centennial, Columbus, Chinook, and Amarillo. Very juicy, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; great dark/bready malt backbone, and not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Aromas are hoppy, bitter, pale malt and a little fruit. Flavors are similar to nose, balance between bitter and sweet with good carbonation and caramel malt. Long bitter finish that's not overdone.

12oz can. Earthy and resinous. Has an old school taste for sure, but it is fresh and quite drinkable too. A little more of a malt balance than most Pale Ales hitting the market in 2018. Toffee and pine. OK.

Pours a hazy, tea-brown, with mid-sized, fast dissipating head. Aroma has a lot of malt, some grassiness, a touch of citrus, and pine/spruce hops. Flavor is very grassy, with some malt, pine/spruce hops.
