Can. An unclear golden beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of exotic fruits, hops, spices, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrus fruits, hops, spices, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.
Pours hazy yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of citra, grapefruit. Taste has bitter citra notes, orange peels, lemongrass. Palate has lingering resinous notes on the nose, bright citrus notes. Good.
Orange peel and not a lot else. Boozy and bitter finish. Murky orange pour. Can.
On of my favorite IPAs right now. Very refreshing with little to no sour bitter bite after taste. I could drink this all day. Has soft citrus notes. Nothing too “loud” in this which makes it great. You will not be disappointed trying this one.
With Z on the patio, cloudy Sunday afternoon, pours a hazy gold color with an ephemeral white head. Nose is very juicy citrus, hoppy with soft pine and resin. Taste is pleasant hoppy juicy citrus with very very mild resin. Texture is medium and carbonation soft. Finishes on the same hoppy citrus notes with a long ending . Nice !
Can. Pours a cloudy golden with a white head and citrus aroma. Taste is of grapefruit and juicy citrus and hops, into the dry, bitter finish.
Can from CraftShack
Hazy off-yellow pour. Strong onion-garlic plus tropical nose, aggressive bitterness and a bit of astringency. Carbonation is spot on. Juicy and full. Tasty and very easy to drink. Nice beer but like so many other nice NEIPAs these days.
(Can) Cloudy orange-gold body with a small white head. Hoppy aoma of tropical and citrus fruit (orange, mango, grapefruit); musty; pine. Light bodied, soft carbonation; oily. Moderate sweet and strongly bitter but not biting; acidic; tropical fruit and hops; mango, orange, peach; a little dank.
Alluring citrus pine aroma in a hazy yellow gold pour. Hop forward balance with a rich zesty fruit body and sustained bitter finish.
Bue avec Laura en canette. Bière hazy au nez bien houblonné. Bouche douce et ronde. Pas mal
Draft to taster in a flight at BC's, from recent notes. Pours a hazy pale golden yellow color with a small white head. The aroma and flavor have grapefruit citrus, earthy and resiny hops, pale malts, moderate bitterness, not much juicy character, I think it presents more like a West Coast IPA.
16 oz can on 19th Dec 2019 in 'The Cellar', San Clemente. Hazy look to the yellow body, white crown on top. Fruit smoothie with tropical sweet thing to the fore in both the aroma and taste. Interesting.
Melon mango tropical hop aroma and flavor. Smooth and balanced. Slight sweet finish but balanced but minor bitter. Really delicious.
On draft at the brewery. Cloudy yellow, with a white head. Juicy hops, melon, grass, tropical fruit, and sweet malt.
Another old can that hasn't lost much of its character (I had this few months ago and it's still unchanged. Hazy orange pour with a nice frothy head and clouds of lacing. Nose is the pretty standard NEIPA tropical fruits and citrus, taste doesn't go further. Still juicy and very fruity, booze is noticeable here. Smooth and pleasant to drink.
16 ounce can from Cappy's. Somewhat hazy orange like in pour with hops and citrus and light body.
Hazy amber/gold color; Medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of malt, yeast, tropical fruit, floral hops, & citrus; Flavor of malt, yeast, pine hops, nice tropical fruit, and citrus; Finish is fairly bitter; Nicely balanced; Pretty decent.
LCI. Uit blik geschonken. Heerlijke zachte bitterzoete NEIPA metvolop tropisch fruit (ananas) en een lekkere nasmaak. Prima!
Draft. Poured cloudy golden color with an average frothy white head that lasted with very good lacing. Moderate to heavy tropical aroma. Medium to abundant body with a mouthful smooth texture and soft carbonation. Moderate to heavy juicy bittersweet flavor with a moderate to heavy bittersweet finish of medium to long duration. This beer met my expectations.

Canned from K&B Liquor. Hazy golden straw in color. Lightly sweet tropical nose with a touch of hoppy dankness. Fruity hop character up front. A little candy sweetness. Smooth and moderately hopped.

Hazy yellow, small white head. Tropical fruit aroma. Medium body. Juicy creamy mouthfeel. Mildly bitter. Citrus and fruity, lightly sweet finish. Straightforward example of the style.
On tap in PDX. Pours a hazy orange yellow hue with a medium white head. A big tropical nose. Fresh, husky, oranges, mango. Light at times, bigger bitterness. Soft peaches. Great.
Had in Portland popup. Hazy golden with white haze, tangy, aspirin astringency, sweet tart. Hefty body, lots of sugar, chalky feel. Unique. Bits of clove. Hmm.
Go Dons! Just about text book perfect I think. Good weight, spice and acid, creamy. Sweet bitter finish. Very good actually. Really like it.
Canned pint, great packaging. Pours a lovely white peach color, opaque with a lacy white head. Smells tropical, friendly, sweet. Peach is back on the nose in the form of sour peach candy. Apricot, pineapple, floral honey notes and light resin round out the aroma. A wave of soft, fluffy carbonation delivers the simple but elegant flavor. A tropical combination that reminds me of POG juice. A chalky sweetness reminds of Smarties or Pez. Ends with a soft bitterness of pine sap and a subtle but welcome Gruyère-like cheesiness. Not particularly memorable, but easy and fun to drink.
Decent beer, but not great. Pleasant but faint aroma of dank citrus. Taste is a dry version of a hazy IPA.
Can (thanks fatphil). Pours hazy golden. Aroma and flavor are sweet, lactose, fruits, pineapple, citrus. Overall: ok.
