Beer at home on Saturday. Hazy peachy gold and a finger of froth. Nose is tropical fruits, pizza dough and an element of adventure I can’t pin down. Tastes of pineapple, mango, kiwi. Wheat, doughy, some pine and a big league chew type of bubble gum. Smooth palate hint of herbal notes on finish.

Can (12/29/20) pour. It's an opaque, turbid light brown-dark yellow with lots of white floatie chunks, light sparkle at the edges of the glass with finger-width white foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong orange over lemon citrus. Taste is strong citrus. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, soft texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, I think I like Ice Cream Man better and didn't really get it as an amped up version. Decent but not the juice bomb I was anticipating. I may have had a fresher version of ICM and, given this is closer to the end of peak freshness, maybe that made a difference.

16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. No can date. Flavor is bold citrus, orange, with notes of juicy pineapple bits. Juicy texture with a soft malt back bone. Very soft bitterness but still here for balance. Hands-down the best beer I’ve ever samples from this brewery.

Pours light amber with a thick white head. Aroma of citrusy malt, sweet bread. Taste has bold hop notes on a Pilsen back, bread, yeast, drier malt, Saar hops. Palate has lemon, residual Pilsen nose more. Dry, bold, nuanced.

16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana, thanks Tom the opportunity. Canned 02/06/20. Aroma is citrus, soft grass, and vanilla is a suggestion. Flavor has a slight sweet orange, vanilla like note, soft grapefruit rind. Mild juice. Nicely dry texture. The Prototypical single hopped citra / NEIPA. Good.
