Canned 1/21/26, drunk 2/28/26.
A varied mix of West Coast leaning hop notes from floral and grassy spice to pine and grapefruit. Sparse but supportive, cracker-and-white-bread-like malts behind it with no resin or alcohol. Some tropical and citrus fruit rind lingering. Not exactly rich and explosive, but there are no off/unwanted notes that I can find, either.
Maltier than expected with a touch of watermelon to start, soft, supple honey-like malt and spice-accented citrus for days. Healthy bitterness, but not overdone. Not a mega-fruity, mega-juicy classic NEIPA, but the important parts are there (the rich, soft, fluffy, supple malts) and the reduced but not non-existent bitterness.
Agree with bookman, the aroma is rather muted/lackluster, but thankfully I don't get any diacetyl.

Pours a hazy, grapefruit juice color, with smallish head. Aroma is mango, citrus, and other tropical fruit. Flavors follow, with some bitterness. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness at the close.

Canned 1/21/26, compliments of Chalumeaxu, drunk 2/27/26. Thanks, TJ!
Probably the most tropical fruit-forward of the four, with lots of mango and juicy, not punchy pineapple, light guava and ripe peach. Fresh, fruity, juicy, with an estery, but not overly-so yeast, a good mix of biscuit, honey and graham cracker from the malt and no resin or alcohol noted.
Sweet, overripe tropical fruit and citrus in the flavor with very low bitterness. As much as I appreciate the tropical fruit juice-like aroma, in the flavor, due to the flabby malt texture and extremely low bitterness, it gets tiresome. There's a flash of bitterness up front, but it's gone immediately, and the malt gets rather flat and bready, as the texture gets loose and overly dry. Maybe a touch of alcohol, even, on the finish. Did not finish.
gave a cheers!
