Hazy golden colour with an amber hue, a frothy-bubbly white cap, decent stay and some light foamy lacing spots. Citrus nose with mild orange juice, lemon zest and hints of herbal notes. The citrusy action continues into the flavours with a tad grassiness and honey. Milder taste than an IPA, as an APA should be. Not feeling too much wheat, which I do like. Some particles do come out at last pour. A good, refreshing, citrus Pale Ale that is easy-drinking.

Hazy golden colour with an orange hue. The head is frothy, creamy, lightly bubbly, warm off-white with good retention and some foamy lacing. The 4 Citra hops give citrus aromas, but also pineapple sweetness, some grassiness and hints of raisins. The taste has orange juices, but also some tropical fruits and even, apricots. The mouthfeel has this little spicy bite at one point, than light dryness in the finish with a tad tart. Big particles pour at last pour. Not a bad Imperial NEIPA, with the citrus blended with other fruits in the nose and flavours, a touch of spiciness and dryness.

Lightly hazed, golden colour with an orange hue. The head is big, frothy, warm-white with good stay and some spots of foamy lacing left. Aromas of citrus with... apricots. Same for taste - oranges, apricots with hints of raisins. It is quite a different NEIPA-style beer. Interesting!
