Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours hazy gold with a large/huge foamy/frothy white head. Tropical juiciness wafts from the pour. Aroma is on the way to dank, dry juicy dank - mostly citrus. Flavor is nearly full bodied. Flavor touches dank; dry; earthy; bitter; juicy; citrus; passion fruit; green melon. More. Complex IMHO. Amazingly tasty. Great level of bitterness for a NEIPA. Malt? Light caramel in support. In IPAs I don't really want to get involved in the malt. Save that for Tmavy beers. This NEIPA is amazing.

Capped 750 from Cap Tap. Pours translucent rosé with a transient off-white (pinkish?) head. Aroma is quite red berry. Med body tho the carbonation is quite light. It's very red wine/red berry. I think the cab berry flavor survived the process. It's dry, and not really bitter. Just a very little tart. It seems very much a wine/beer hybrid. Good stuff!

Tap from a huge wooden keg at Cap Tap. Pours light hazy gold with a white head. Flavor is clean, somewhat malty with some earthy citrus. It's towards dry. Hint of fresh wood - no particular flavor. Mildly bitter. Drinks a treat. Very sessionable!

Can from Corti Bros. Pours lemony, bright gold with a white head. Aroma is quite mixed. Fruity, herbal, tropical, citrus. Not a large amount of hop, but more than most lagers. :) Pale malt. Pretty dry. A hint of earthy. Moderately bitter. Crisp and clean might be applied. It's very good tasting and quite enjoyable.
