8/10 β€” Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Can to snifter.
Appearance: murky/chill haze sorta orangey to dark yellow sort of color with a quickly dissipating head with no lace
Aroma: peach flesh and skin tartness roaming into a nice blend of lemonade flavored beer-ish character
Flavor: sour to tart to sweet tones meshing through the prior noted aromas in an authentic peach lemonade-like quality; finishes like peach flavored lemonade
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable - oddly enough but I think I see what the brewer is aiming for; good smoothness; good carb level
Overall: no need to have this ever poured out again as the next time I have this would be straight outa the can while fishing or around a campfire. Cheers to a great Summertime beer!

Can to tulip.
Appearance: nice yellow-ed creamy/milky haziness with two and a half fingers worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave lots of messy lace all over the place
Aroma: white grape sweetness, lemongrass but definitely comes across in a sweeter than normal way; melon/guava - somewhat honeydew sorta blend underneath; give it a good ten to 15 minutes and I definitely gives off a delicate jolly rancher sweetness as it keeps warming
Flavor: gently blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet quality then a super light underlying bittersweet character; finishes smooth semi-guava-like with a pinch of white grapes then a subtler note of honeydew
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a touch under; leaning towards being a sipper - just a bit; pretty good smoothness with a super subtle creaminess along the tongue; great low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty nicely done NEDIPA well worthy of returning to.

7.6/10 β€” Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: glossy burnt yellow color with a two finger's worth of white frothy head which tapered off at a nice pace then left a good amount of messy lace
Aroma: nice blend of sweet malty biscuity to soft semi-sweet bready character and a few whiffs of smooth clean caramel notes
Flavor: seems to push the caramel accents through the bready, biscuity maltiness to blend eloquently with a clean caramelly finish with an ever so slight nick of dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied - perhaps closer to light, good smoothness, good carb level and a slight non-bothersome stickiness coming about
Overall: it met my expectations and would be one to return to.
