Can to tulip.
Appearance: brown murkiness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely and left a little bit of lace
Aroma: grapefruity to lemony to mixed citrusy and subtle passion fruity hop tones; light malty backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet and lightly tart quality; finishes about the same with a slight dryness
Texture: medium bodied; slightly sessionable; some smoothness but also a certain dryness running along the tongue, good low carb
Overall: I can see it as a "brown IPA" or I guess "red IPA," one of the two, and this isn't bad, there's a chance I could return to this.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark orange color that almost looks like grapefruit pulp with a finger's worth of white frothy head which trailed off at a nice pace
Aroma: sweet orange to grapefruity pulpy sweet hoppiness with a light clean malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality with a little bit of passion fruity sweetness ever so slightly underneath; finishes leaning into the orange and grapefruity hop tones
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; good smoothness as nothing prevents the flow; good low carb; nice low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nicely done NEDIPA very worthy of coming back to.

Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet quality to juicy bittersweet quality; finishes very melon and red berry-like with a certain dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness; nice low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: a very nicely done NEDIPA I would bang again!

Can to tulip.
Appearance: semi-bright yet burnt orange color with a slim cap of a little white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mango/guava/papaya/tangerine to tangerine-like zesty hoppy tones; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet juicy contour to a nice juicy bittersweet quality; finishes juicy-ish but also a little bit of dryness from the Phantasm powder
Texture: leaning towards medium bodied - initially thought maybe a step down but I'm ultimately going with medium here; slight sessionability; there's some smoothness but also a degree of dryness on the tongue
Overall: not a bad one in the series but definitely a bit drier than the rest.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: orange cardboard haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy hop rind sweet to bitter tones; papaya and lime hoppy scents; and some earthy to floral hop tones further down in the mix; malts seem so faint
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine citrusy to tropical fruit salad of sweet qualities; finishes juicy with a touch of dryness and some citrusy rind
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness with nothing distracting to the flow; nice low carb; good low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: a very nicely done NEIPA I would return to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: hazy burnt orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: tangerine, grapefruit and apricot hop tones coming on pretty strong and juicy-like; very faint clean malts
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet juicy to bittersweet juicy toned quality; finishes very apricot forward with grapefruit as a sidekick
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; very good smoothness with basically nothing distracting; nice low carb and good low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: hard to believe they retired this one, man, I really thought this one was going places.

Can to tulip. Consumed 01/18/2018.
Appearance: dark amber to almost dark mahogany color with a muted transparency about it and a two finger eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: big piney sweet to bitter hop tones with a sweet lemony hop tone underneath then some clean caramel/toffee malts underneath that
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas in a bitter to bittersweet sort of blend adding in an expected bitterness of grapefruit rind; finishes slightly dry with a bitter hop aspect
Texture: medium bodied, slightly sessionable; some smoothness but also a bit of dryness gripping the tongue; good carb and yes to the hop bitterness assertiveness but it's right where it should be
Overall: I say it works as an old school IPA that's cleaned up. I'd welcome this again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a quarter finger of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruity to piney to apricot hoppy toned with a light clean malt base
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet clean quality; finishes semi-dry with a touch of citrusy pop of zest and some apricot hoppiness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness with a touch of hop bitterness but honestly, it's not much and I almost think I didn't even need to mention it because it is so faint
Overall: a very nicely done NEIPA I would return to.
