16 oz. can. Dated 21 April 2022. Aroma soft florals and mild honey. Flavor is soft and nuanced. Citrus, florals in honey is not overwhelming. Texture is pillow like and turns dry after the swallow. Has a soft citrus pith bitterness for balance. Drinks real nice!

16 oz. can. Aroma is tame citrus and pineapple. We must use a very light amount of phantasm powder. Flavor is pretty tame all the way around. Mild white grape, pineapple and citrus. Soft texture and mouthful. Good not great! Anchorage Brewing Co. has the corner on phantasm powder.

Undated can drunk 4/16/22. Turbid, paler-golden, large, white head shows moderate retention. Nose is juicy, mega-citrus-forward, fresh squeezed orange juice with a touch of spicy amarillo and very fruit-forward, though not obnoxiously bubble gummy, yeast. Malts show touches of honey, but are mostly cracker and white bread-like. No alcohol, flaw or twang. In the mouth it's prototypical NEIPA. Juicy, soft, dry, tasting like a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice, with tons of fruity yeast and enough bitterness to balance without adding any excess acidity to fatigue the palate. This just kept getting juicier and softer as it warmed and breathed. By the end of the glass, I was in love. This is precisely why I fell in love with NEIPAs. While I appreciate all the innovation that continues on the style, this still feels like what I most desire. The first beer I had of theirs was not memorable, but it's possible it was a bad line (Canary Square's draught lines seem notoriously unclean lately). Certainly interested in trying more of their stuff now.

Pours hazy lemon meringue into a tulip. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving spidery sheets. Earthy lemon, melon, guava and lychee aromas. Soft with melon and mango upfront turning to white honey and lychee in the medium length finish.

First brew from these folks. Appealing can art. Lighter colored than expected a pale yellow and frothy head. Nose is fruit bouquet. Pears, peach, honeydew, white pepper, grass, honeycomb, cheerios. Quite tasty.

Can (1/11/22) pour from Liquor Junction, Reading. It's an opaque dark yellow with nice sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong tropical fruit, orange, pineapple and musky herb. Taste is strong fruit, herb, grape and yeast. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, slight alcohol warmth, average-to-lively carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Overall, good strength and complexity though all the elements don't blend perfectly harmoniously.
