Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: hazy orange color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pine, mango, lemon, grapefruit and orangey hop notes with a light clean maltiness
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a gentle bittersweet quality; finishes piney, mango-like and grapefruity
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper, good smoothness with a touch of creaminess; low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: a very nicely done NEDIPA worthy of coming back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy, piney, sweet grassy & light tangerine-like hops; light clean biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a good bittersweet juicy quality; finishes grassy sweet to piney hop quality
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness, low hop bitterness, low to medium carb
Overall: maybe get that carb down to the low side of the low, and this could be a real gem.

Bottle to becher glass.
Appearance: copper color with a one finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral, citrusy and danky hop notes; bigger malts in thiis than expected
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a bigger malty tone than the hops; finishes more malty but there is a light citrusy hop tone
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; smooth but that's probably due to the malts pushing down the malts
Overall: a maltier IPA, hmmm, I don't think I had an older bottle but maybe I did. I don't know enough.
