Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark orange haziness with a finger and a half's worth of white frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: white grapes, limes, oranges, lemongrass then some clean malts that seem a little bit extra sweet
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to semi-bittersweet and ever so slight keen juiciness; finishes leaning into the oranges and white grapes and seems to allow a little pop of hop spice (odd, I have no clue where that came from? Weird but whatever)
Texture: medium bodied; slightly sessionable; some smoothness and a low-ish bitterness assertiveness, good low carb
Overall: I think I liked this NEIPA as the aromas really show what this beer is capable of. The finish may be a bit odd but somehow I wonder if Frost tried to do that? Hmmmm...not exactly sure.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: pale yellow haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: lush peachy/apricot and amplified pineapple sweet to bitter hops, light lemon pulpy sweetness and a super light clean maltiness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet juicy tone to a semi-bittersweet chill-ed fruity hop tone (no, I did not stick this beer in an overly cold refrigerator, I know better than that); finishes with that chilled fruity hop blend
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium bodied, good sessionability; great smoothness, nice low carb and low hop bitterness
Overall: boy this brewery has come a long way since they started and this beer shows how they have changed with the times and how they aren't afraid to experiment. I say cheers to that!

Texture: medium bodied; this is a sipper; good smoothness with a medium to low hop bitterness assertiveness

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark orange haziness with a finger and a quarter of white foamy head which dissipated nicely fo leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet nutty to woody tones with some piney hop tones then some mixed citrusy to floral hop tones; light malts underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas together but leaves out the woody tone and encompassss a sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes through piney, mixed citrusy and floral hoppiness
Texture: medium bodied, leans towards being a sipper; good smoothness that seems to roll right across the tongue with that nuttiness I smelled earlier
Overall: so there was lactose brewed in this and yet not one tone or scent noted, I'd say this was one mighty fine beer that I wish I could have again.
