7.8/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8
Can (7/15/24) from Manchester Wine & Liquors. Opaque orange juice, with light sparkle, thin head with fair retention and nice sheets of lacing. Aroma is strong apricot, guava, papaya, background malt. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, frothy texture, a bit thin on the body for a Double but no sign of alcohol, light malty finish. While at the outside of its freshness window, good strength, not your usual citrus, grapefruit NEIPA and good complexity. Like it!

473ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity and minimally herbal-grassy, hoppy aroma, oaty malty background, notes of lemon, hints of yuzu, orange, lemon drops, a touch of green tea, lemon balm. Taste is citrusy fruity and minimally herbal-grassy hoppy, minimally alcoholic, oaty malty basis with low residual sweetness, notes of lemon, lemon drops, a touch of lemon balm. Creamy-oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy palate, fine, dense, soft, creamy carbonation. Homogeneous, a tad monotonous - not that compelling if you're in an analytic mood, pretty good as entity.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy yellow/golden pour, soft, white foamy head, thick rings of lacing. Light fruity aroma, pear, stone fruit, tropical. Taste is bready malt with faint fruity accents. Really thick feel, almost mealy. Very approachable for a DIPA.

16oz can is translucent, pineapple gold, three thick fingers of white head. Nose is big. Big booze. Big sugar. Big honey. Some pineapple and tropicals, some citrus. Flavor has breakfast cereal and pineapple and mango schnapps. Full bodied, sweet and boozy finish. A touch overdone in an old school way. 7 4 7 3 13

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Much thanks Tom! Aroma is apricot, peach, and mild orange. Flavor follows with the addition of some mango-ish hints. Drinks way easier than 9.5 ABV would suggest. Very nice first impression of this brewery!
