Hazy golden yellow with a frothy white-yellowish head, decent retention, a creamy, foam ring left, and on top of the brew. Some citrusy nose with some white grapes, a melon touch and sesame. Pretty much the same for flavours with mostly juiciness from the citruses, and less zestiness. This last one does build a bit with time, creating some mild dryness. Quite the easy-drinking, juicy Double NEIPA with all of those hops blending smoothly together.

Fairly clean, mid-golden colour with a white frothy head, decent stay and some patches of foamy lacing left. Aromas of pears and medicinal blended with the cereal-sweet malts base. Flavours of apples, pears, grainy malts, a herbal touch and hints of honey. Quite a nice pintable Blonde Ale with a balance of maltiness, mild fruitiness and a tad herbal hoppiness.

Happy 7th year !! Hazy, golden with an orange hue, an off white, frothy head, average retention and a foamy lace ring left. Dank, cannabis aromas over the citrus notes. A juicy, wet mouthfeel with some good biting, zesty, drying finish. These hop saturated strong NEIPAs are just not my thing. Like the hopbombs they use to do with West Coasts, now for the East Coast. A little too intense - prefer juicy, smooth.

Hazy, golden colour with a bubbly, warm-yellowish head, average stay and real small lace spots left, here and there. A nice, fresh, fruity nose with lots of oranges, some tropical-stone fruits and a touch of white wine grapes. Somewhat creamy mouthfeel with some decent, slow building dryness. A nicer continuation of the fruitiness in the taste, with just a tad citrus zest, letting the juiciness shine. Quite the easy-drinking, juicy NEIPA, with a tad white wine, grapes.

Their second beer to be available in a 12-pack of 355ml - even though I am rating this from the 473ml can. Fairly clean, light golden colour with a white cap, decent stay and some soapy lacing streaks. Big herbal nose with some spicy Saaz hops and a mild, sweet malt base. Medicinal hints do come out with time. A herbaceous taste over the light cracker malt. A crisp, easy-going Pilsner with lots of herbal notes that goes down smoothly.

A very slight haze, mid-golden colour with a bubbly white cap, average retention and a tiny lace ring. Pilsner-like spicy malts with again - yeast (not as bad as their first few ones, but still a little too much to my likings for the style). Mild citrus notes and other fruity hints. Some wet sock notes from the yeast it seems. Good cereal malt base with a blend of herbal-spiciness. The finish is the best part as only the hops linger, fresh, grassy, and not the yeast. Kind of a mix of West Coast notes and a Pilsner. Still not a full West Coast IPA, after six of these tries.

Mildly hazed, golden colour with a white, frothy cap, pretty good retention and nice foamy-soapy lacing left. A nice fresh, Pilsner nose with a balance of spicy-sweet malts, herbal hops and the pepper adding just a little extra spiced touch. Cereal malts in the flavours with a mild herbal touch and just hints of pepper and Oolong tea. A refreshing, Pilsner-like lager with the added hints of Sichuan pepper and Oolong tea that makes this 4% beer stick out a bit.
