Late to the Genius party but here goes; from last PM:
Conceited Genius 2.0-Wise Man Brewing
Local for a couple Ymm, Beer regulars and close enough for me
Credit-RJ199, another Wise Man; many thanks!!
Style-NEIPA
Temporary residence-16 ounce alloy
Canned on-05/21/2020 16:03:26; I think I've had one fresher canned beer in all my years; fresherer is betterer
Stemware-Stella snifter, of course
Appearance-hazy Dole or DelMonte juices; foamy head
Aromas-was this stuff just squeezed?
Mouthfeel-somewhat thick and juicy
Tastes-pineapple, mango, tangerine, lemon and orange rind/juice/pulp
Hops-Citra and Motueka (dry hopped)
IBU-80 (somewhat surprising); a bit high for the style
ABV-6.1% (also a bit surprising); a bit low for the style
Overall impression-I've already picked my small nits with the IBU and ABV, otherwise, this is a fine example of the style
Ymm, Beer rating-low cat 3; I've had juicier/thicker NEIPAs but this was a very, very pleasant nightcap and would readily buy again

That's an excellent point and I agree. It wasn't piney/resiny bitter but fruity/rindy/pithy bitter, like a hazy/juicy/NE IPA should be. The freshness was amazing. Reminded me of the Hubris I drank fresh on release day last year at Lynnwood Brewing Concern and bought a 4 pack of cans that were packaged one day earlier.

I'm on call this weekend so you folks enjoy your tastings. RJ199's recent treasure trove delivery will be on the endangered list starting Monday evening.

OK, I actually want to try this
Stares thirstily and longingly (but patiently ) at half a fridge full of recently delivered RJ199 traders.

@ Catawba Brewing (Morganton location) about to have a...get this...Zoom Party Hazy IPA.
I believe he chose milkshake IPAs, or, more specifically, Mrs. killerleft chose the style. He may have modified it a bit to any fruited beer/IPA as milkshake IPAs may be a bit difficult to find. He has not chosen a date yet. I'd bet a tartlet (not a whole pie) that his opening time will be "sometime that morning" to accommodate Tripping William's motto .

I had that Commonwealth Intergalactic DIPA last night. 8.7% ABV is well hidden, so I def stopped after 1. It drinks like a session beer, but it's not! I love the Galaxy hop bomb which just seemed to get fresher and more pronounced the more I had. Maybe it gets even better as it warms a little. The white wine white grape notes work well in this earthy IPA. It's West-coast bitter but in a very good way for the style; it's smooth. The tropical fruit is more on the finish which balances beautifully. So it's a little different but Matt at Stella was right, this brewery is legit.
