Can from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Hazy, dark yellow with tons of sparkle, large head with excellent retention and nice soapy rings of lacing. Aroma is citrus, light pine and soft herb with background malt. Taste is citrus, pine, somewhat tinny, background malt. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, malty, bitter finish as taste. Rare miss for these guys--piney, malty, tinny. No way of knowing how old this is but nothing like as described.

Pours hazy amber with an enormous white head, frothy. Aroma of overripe fruit, some mango. Taste has huge tropical fruit notes, pineapple, orange, citrus, some more mango. Palate has more overripe fruit, some very mild hop oils that linger on the tongue and convey some tropical resin. Good.

16 oz can shared by tfontana. Thank you Tom! Aroma of mango, guava, malt. A good array of fruit with decent balance. Very mild bitterness in the form of rind or fruit pulp. Pretty nice but not a standout.

Can pour from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Cloudy, gold with nice sparkle, thin head with fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is mango, melon, fruit. Taste is mango, fruit. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Sweet, juicy, in a nonspecific way. Good but not great.

Jealous Monk draught, 8/15/24. Moderately hazy, tan-bronze. Small, white head quickly to ring. Spicy nose with tons of phenols. Biscuity malts, good attenuation. Clean. Soft and malty. Juicy, spicy, clean. A bit soft but very Belgian and not too clovey (no bubble gum). Interesting. Very Belgian. Great job.

16 oz can shared my tfontana. Thank you Tom! Aroma and flavor are very fragrant! Peach, mango, and soft cooking herbs. Flavor pops and shows soft juice character. REALLY well made. Looks like I may have to return to this brewery. They’ve made several great beers recently.

Can pour from Manchester Wine & Liquors. Opaque light brown-dark yellow with sediment at the bottom, head with good retention and soapy lacing. Aroma is strong orange, lemon, tropical fruit, mild herb. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Excellent strength aroma and taste with equally good complexity.

Can pour from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Hazy bright yellow with ring of head and nice lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, stone fruit, grapefruit, hint of herb. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, creamy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Really good! One of the better NEIPA I've had recently. Correction: Double NEIPA--alcohol well hidden.
