City Tap draught, 8/25/22. Moderately hazy, peach-maize. Large, white head, good retention. Coconut laced fruit salad. Heavy Sabro but the cashmere blends nicely with it, spicing up the usually too sweet pineapple character. Big fruitiness but not your typical boring oj and/or mosaic NEIPA. Cherry, coconut, pineapple. Soft and sweet and yet I'm sure it's not too sweet in flavor. Maybe I shouldn't have been so sure. It's a strange one. The flavors are similar and it's not TOO sweet but it's definitely sweet with a thick, thick, basically syrupy texture. Bitterness and alcohol linger on the finish, drying it out somewhat. I like the extremely fruity, rather unusual and very Cashmere-forward notes but yeah, just a touch too sweet/syrupy and a jarring astringency on the end.

Undated can drunk 8/6/22. Heavily hazy/turbid orange juice with a large, well-retained, white head atop. Lovely juice and white wine/tropical fruit smells like a mix of citra and nelson. I see there's also Strata in here, which adds a touch of pineapple but otherwise not too intrusive. The Nelson is done really well, and there's sparse, crackery malt to balance without getting in the way, nor any weird yeast, booze or resin. Soft, juicy, quite dry with heavily unripe white peach, unripe tangerine and light white wine. As is, this is clean, flavorful, not resinous/piney or boozey, but just could use a touch more malt depth to balance out the dry, somewhat bitter hop character. For 7.3, just needs a bit more heft. Still, this is really well-made and well-attenuated. Best to err on the side of dry, for sure.
