In der Nase etwas plädderich, süßlich, künstlich. Im Trunk ebenso süß, etwas Getreide, Malz, etwas besser als die 0815 Pale Lager Dinger, aber eben nicht mehr - 0816 halt ;)

Can, from Cambridge Wine & Spirits. Pours extremely hazy like orange juice with foamy off-white head, citrus-mint-unripe mango aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter orange peel-mango taste, somewhat thick body, long juicy finish. Nice NEIPA.

16 oz can from Tavour. Hazy, milky golden, small soft ring of foamy head. Fruity aroma, mixture of both citrus and tropical. Taste continues more with the fruity blend, coupled with a slight, stinging bitterness. Nice weight and feel.

Canned 8/30/18, drunk 1/12/19. Clear amber, bronze-maize. White head to a ring. Smells sweetly of caramel and toffee with light herb and dryer bread. Clean and quite lovely with no alcohol or heavy hop. Really love seeing these cans that have a lot of relative age on them. This shows good attenuation, honey, caramel, brown bread and light cracker. Noble hops and good attenuation keep it crisp and balanced. Maybe a touch too dry, even. But quite good.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Julio's Liquors. Appearance is hazy yellow (urine-like) with fair sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with fair retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is sweet orange-lemon citrus. Taste is sweet orange-lemon citrus with some offsetting dank bitterness. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, pretty straightforward citrus, which isn't a bad thing. If anything, might be a bit muted flavor/aroma as 4 months old. Good for a session--initially thought it was straight IPA.

Canned 9/19/18, drunk 10/18/18.
Clear (!!), deep, dehydrated urine colored brass-golden. White head immediately fizzles to nothing.
Dank, weed-like spice in the nose mixes with ripe nectarine, apricot jelly and meyer lemon. Rich, robust yellow fruits galore, with strong, but not overdone honey-like malt and clean, bubble gum-free yeast. No alcohol, pine or resin.
In the mouth it's soft, succulent and full of spicy herbal honey notes, juicy nectarine, apricot and a lingering, dank, spicy weed character. Sumptuous malts are nonetheless well-attenuated, but make for a very soft texture in concert with the extremely low, but very tight carbonation. Lingering marmalade, gooseberry, nectarine and weed. Really nice and shockingly free of alcohol. ~~8% is definitely the sweet spot for DIPAs, in my opinion.

Cask at GBBF '18, day 3, 09/08/18. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is tangerine, straw, melon, light breads. Taste comprises orange squash, toasted grains, grass, melon, lemon rind, airy malts. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Passable session gear .... just a touch subdued and could do with some more hop presence.
