We paired this with fresh Simcoe, dry-hopped with Citra and added Chinook and Columbus to the whirlpool.
This beer is a true celebration of hops, huge thanks to Verdant Brewing Co, DEYA Brewing Company, Cloudwater Brew Co and Wylam Brewery for coming down to brew it with us.

Tap at The Hague Craft festival. Hazy bright yellow with white head. Sweet creamy oats and wheat, pineapple, massive sweet fruity hops, papaya. Quite sweet, light bitter. Solid medium bodied. Fruit juice but in a good way. Nice.

Keg, taster. Sampled on the 19/04/2019 at Hop City 2019, Leeds (England). Murky yellow colour with a low white head. Aroma is riped tropical fruits, peach and lemon peel. Taste is riped tropical fruits, papaya, citrusy and lemony. Citrusy and lemony finish. Next one please!
Last years iteration made me a true NM fan, this years does not change that. Very open foam, pale orange colour, hazy. Smells hoppy and fruity. Sweet, tropical, stone fruit, some good bitterness in the back. Fairly light. Lovely, yummy, but not brilliant.
A NEIPA done properly
Meetings done. Tasks done. Relaxing
Granulatowo-owocowowe, szorstkie ale bez tego granulatowego drapania w gardlo. Jasne owocki. Niemalo slodyczy. Intensywne. no kojarzy sie z brytolskimi ipkami, a la niektore cloudwatery np... przy czym ja lubie granulat, co poradze. 4.1? Dla mnie klasa

440ml can. Murky golden with a big white head. Aroma is herbal/spicy, peachy, pineapple, coconut. Taste follows suit, fruity with herbal/spicy overtones, pineapple, grapefruit, coconut, this hop soup combo reminds me of Sorachi Ace, light pithy notes. Medium body, soft carbonation. Another great NEIPA but I think the 2017 and 2018 might have been better...
