Got in a trade with larryi86. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 8/21/2019. Pours very hazy deep golden amber color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. Mild pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a fantastic malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an amazing NEIPA. All around amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and pretty refreshingly with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish; fantastic soft feel. Amazing Mosaic, Citra, Chinook, Centennial and Columbus profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly amazing offering, and top tier style example. Loved the hop profile as expected.
Can sample at a tasting at Yoav's place. Hazy yellow with white head. The aroma is hoppy, onion, citrus (grapefruit), herbs. The flavor is mild sweet and mild bitter with notes of citrus (grapefruit), onion, malt, herbs. Medium-bodied.

Can pour into shaker pint glass shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Appearance is cloudy, orange-yellow with decent sparkle at the edges of the glass, 2-finger width rocky white foamy head with good retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is strong lemony citrus, more moderate grapefruit and pine. Taste is strong but more balanced between the citrus, grapefruit and pine with a hint of herb. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with good balance between sweet and bitter. Overall, scores high across the board. A nice NEIPA.
Pours hazy dark straw into a shaker. Bright white micro head with good retention recedes leaving soapy and gloppy lacing. Hot pineapple and mango aromas. Sharp with mango and pineapple upfront turning to passion fruit and dry dusty tropical fruit skin and pith in the lasting finish.
From tap at The Blind Tiger, New York. Smooth tropical juice aroma with citrus, mango, grainy pale malt, orange, guava, pineapple, zesty grapefruit peel, soft herbal dankness. Medium bitter flavour and mildly sweet. Above medium body with an incredibly velvety mouthfeel. Quite good!
Probably their best IPA, really made the lupulin dance in this beer. smells like a vanilla hop milkshake. Flavors of pineapple, guava and freshly cut grass. Sooo juicy. Reminds me of Burial Beer Company’s brews.
If the palate was a tiny bit better it would be the perfect beer. Hoppy without being over the top.
16oz can from rich. Hazy straw color. Juicy mango notes. Classic to style and crushable.
On tap at Pinocchio’s. Hazy, milky straw colored appearance. Sweet fruity base with peppery tart hops. An amazingly silky mouthfeel. Delicious.
Had this at warpigs bar in Copenhagen part of a tap takeover. This beer poured hazy is smooth and tropical tasting light as well
Draft at Tria Taproom. Cloudy golden yellow pour with a thick top of white fluff. Juicy and grassy. Grapefruit. Fresh pineapple. Watermelon rind. Mango. Gooseberry. Celery hearts. Vanilla marshmallow. Slight bit of dank pine for balance. Crisp dry finish. Really well done.
Tap at Mugs Alehouse, New York. Color is cloudy golden with small white head. Aromas and flavors: Fruits, tropical fruits, grape, hops and malts. Excelsior drinkability.
On tap at the Arts and Crafts Beer Parlor. Hazy yellow appearance with a fluffy white head. Aroma of juicy hops, tropical fruit, berries, mild citrus zest and light grains. Similar flavor, adding mild hop bitterness and balanced by a mild sweetness. Medium body with smooth carbonation and an enjoyable finish.
Pours a hazy pale golden amber coloration with a medium, frothy head. Smell is bright and hoppy, with juicy tropical and citrus fruit notes of pineapple, papaya and grapefruit and a light, grassy dankness. Taste is a great balance of sweet tropical notes of pineapple, mango and papaya and slightly zesty and bitter grapefruit. There's also a very nice grassy, herbal dankness to this. Finishes with a light/medium bitterness and some dankness lingering in the aftertaste. Soft, pillowy mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation. This is my kind of NEIPA, with a great balance of sweet and juicy tropical, zesty and bitter citrus and herbal and dank green notes, plus a good bitterness that is actually rather strong for the style.
On tap at the Ginger Man. Pours hazy bright yellow. Orange, lemon, pear, pineapple, soft herbal notes. Soft body. Really good.
Hazy mango gold pour, white head. Aroma of mango, tangerine, pine, guava, and papaya. *Fantastic*.
Draught. Pours a hazy straw gold with a small white head. Aroma is pineapple, mango, papaya, and light grapefruit. Taste is candied mango, earth, light pine, some white grapefruit peel, and slight lemon. Dry. Medium body. Average carbonation. Dense, coating mouthfeel giving off the illusion of stickiness.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a cloudy yellow color with a medium sized foamy white head that left no lacing. The aroma was dry, perfumey, musty and off. The flavor was tart, sour, dry, chalky, perfumey, citric and musty. Lots going on but none of it good. Long finish. Medium body.
On tap at Hawthornes, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out dry floral hops, some earthy notes and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with fresh piney hops, some floral notes, and biscuity malt. Floral and citric, with a dry finish. Excellent.

AJ at Fermaentra gave me a little of this. Cloudy bright pale golden under a thin foamy head. Amaze balls aroma of guava and passionfruit and citrusy tangerine. Flavor falls a touch short but it’s still good. Fluffy and a little tropical and lightly citric. Wheaty and pale. Light citrus hops.

Can, by way of a trade. Cheers Jeff. Grey tinged, pale gold. Thin, foamy, super sticky, white head. Nose has ripened grapefruit. Some pineapple. Hint of allium. Hint of sweet biscuit malts. Taste has a light, biscuit sweetness. Gets a little juicy, and pithy. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Low carbonation. Finish gets pithy and oily bitter. Great IPA.
Sample at Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen 2018, Yellow Session. Really pale hazy look. Aroma is zesty, citrusy with dank hop notes. Taste is fresh, hoppy, dank, balanced overall with light bitterness.
