Got in a trade with spelingchampeon. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 7/3/2018. Pours very hazy deep golden amber color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/light earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, zesty, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/light earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.8%. Overall this is an awesome NEIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/light earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Impressively soft mouthfeel. Feels like Citra/Amarillo. Extremely juicy and lightly dank hop complexity; perfect wheat/oat/malt backbone. Not overly sweet/heavy. I loved Torque Wrench way more; but this was still a really enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected. Probably the same hops with different ABV between both. Tasted nearly identical according to my other review.

On tap at The Jeffrey, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out floral hops, with biscuity malt and light pine. Flavour is very pleasant, with bittering floral hops and crisp biscuity malt. Crisp and bitter. Not bad.

On tap at Rattle n Hum - West, pours an opaque cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright citrus and dank hops, with light sweetness, and some sweet biscuity malt to back. Flavour brings out some nice stone fruitiness, along with dank, citrus hops, and some pith. Lots of stone fruits, with a nice dank character. Expert NEIPA here.
