Aromas of big lightly tart/tangy pink guava, tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, guava, and bready malt notes; with big strength.

Lingering notes of pink guava, tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, guava, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/tart/tangy balance; and no astringent hop/fruit flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/tartness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky/resinous/rindy, and lightly acidic/tangy mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.8%, or lingering hop burn after the finish. Overall this is an excellent fruited NEIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, guava, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/tart/tangy/drying finish; great soft feel. Awesome Mosaic/Citra profile. Very juicy hops/fruit, with light dank/earthy notes; and a nice wheat/oat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example. No complaints. Loved the hop profile as expected.
