Ok here's my first NEIPA
It's a great picture and I'm sure the beer is good but, and don't take this the wrong way, it just looks terrible. NEIPAs are the most unappetizing looking beer there is, they make me think of something I'd drink with breakfast, not a nice refreshing beer.
It is a great picture! And I agree about the aesthetics. I've always thought they look like the part of the beer we usually leave as the trub when packaging and dump down the drain. Haha. The ole "one man's trash is another man's treasure" saying applies here I think.
OH man I've been attacked in beer groups (not homebrew groups) on facebook for dissing anything about NEIPAs. That style definitely has some passionate followers. I guess I'd feel the need to defend my passion too if I spent $20+ on 4 pack. The price point is a little better if you just brew it yourself.Agreed. I don't get how worked up some people get about the appearance of a NEIPA. I care more about how a beer tastes than how it looks, some people certainly do not agree with that sentiment. I wonder what those folks think about a hefeweizen? Are those somehow okay?

NEIPAs have changed what I think about a beer's appearance. I now think that clear beers look gross and hazy ones look delicious. The people who think that they look gross probably havn't had any really good ones.
It was pictures of some of your beers that got me to give the style a try, up until then it seem like people were posting pics of trub not beer.
+1 to that. Looks great.Man that looks good breweer
I've seen that sentiment too. It's ridiculous, but it is what it is. Everyone and their mother has an opinion on the neipa, and a lot of older/traditional brewers are stuck in their "clear beer is the only right way" opinion. Especially when the term IPA is associated with it. Given the evolution (and popularity) of the neipa in the last 5 years, people are much more accepting of the look. I have a friend who used to talk a lot of crap about neipas until he started working at a brewery who's flagship is a neipa. Now he posts about them non-stop. I have another friend who will only drink a hazy ipa. If it's clear, she instantly dismisses it. So, it's all a mindset.OH man I've been attacked in beer groups (not homebrew groups) on facebook for dissing anything about NEIPAs. That style definitely has some passionate followers.

Man... I am thirsty as he'll now.....
Tired Hands Passionfruit Double Milkshake IPA
Semi-dark room, ~500 lumen LED light. Looks more orangey under normal indoor light.
I’ll bite^my favorite pic
I woulda asked for my money back if I was served that. Luckily the rest of the keg was decent.The one on the left looks like one I got from a local brewery that 'specializes' in NEIPA. It tasted and had the texture of baby aspirin, very gritty and a bad orange taste.
