Crisply clean sunshiny NEIPA brings lemony grapefruit-peeled orange tanginess to the fore as resinous piney bittering ascends over bready pale malts.

On tap at Seven Lakes Station, ‘classic mash-up’ of red ale-like brown breaded amber graining and pale ale-like floral perfumed orange/ tangerine tang with lemony grapefruit pining of an IPA. Mild red apple, red plum and Bosc pear illusions add further impact, but the flow’s inconsistent.
