Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow haziness with a one finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some mild lace
Aroma: subtle pineapple, strawberries, sweet pine and some sweet grassy hops, clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together bittersweetly with subtle juiciness; clean aftertaste of strawberry-ish to sweet piney tones
Texture: medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper, some smoothness along tongue; finishes slightly hoppy with subtle grassy to pineapple-y to strawberry-ish vibes
Overall: nicely done NEDIPA I would love to have again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: hazy burnt orange with a one finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mangoes in front, subtle papaya, pineapple and lime further underneath, clean biscuity malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas nicely to a fair bittersweet hoppy contour; subtle aftertaste of mangoes & papayas
Texture: medium bodied, more of a sipper; structured hop abrasion, but not overbearing; finishes clean with the tropical fruitiness
Overall: a very nicely done NEDIPA I would have again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt amber/copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which slid off eloquently to leave some light lace.
Aroma: citrusy, clean grassy and subtle piney/resinous hoppiness flowing over clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior mentioned aromas nicely to a steady bittersweet blending, mild aftertaste of pine and citrus
Texture: medium bodied, good as a sipper; some hop grip but not overbearing; finishes fairly smooth
Overall: I think Foundation was trying for a NEIPA but to me it came across as a nicely brewed IPA, I'd still have again despite it missing the "hazy" mark.
