16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 6/27/2019. Pours opaquely hazy deep golden/orange/amber color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas big mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, red apple, cherry, strawberry, blueberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength.

Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with and awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8%. Overall this is a fantastic NEDIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV with the modestely bitter/resinous/drying finish; nicely soft, and not aggressive. Amazing Mi Copper, Mosaic profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected.

Draft at HOMES. Pours a glowing, hazy gold with a finger of off-white foam that lingers. Arugula, pithy citrus and turnip greens on the nose. Green pineapple, mineral and citrus zest on the palate. Dry with lingering stone fruit. Great bitterness to balance out the tropical fruit.

Draft at HOMES. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of foam that dissipates. Big, pungent dank citrus aromas with mango, pine and pineapple notes. Creamy and juicy palate with prickly pear, lychee & dank pineapple. I'm not sure what happened to the ABV in this one either...very well hidden. Lingering pine and tropical fruit.

Draft at HOMES. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of white foam that lingers, then dissipates. Tons of passion fruit / guava on the nose, faint coconut as it warms. Guava dominates on the palate, as it warms more passion fruit alongside tropical fruit salad. Insanely crushable.
