Taste the future of beer with this vibrant West Coast IPA. This tasty tropical brew uses a Pilsner malt base which allows the Krush and Mosaic hops to shine through. But we didn’t stop there! Once it hit the packaging tank, we added Euphorics’ Cosmic Guava, a hop extract that takes the aromatics to the next level. Cheers to innovation!

Slight haze. Pale. Thick head. There's a lot of that guava-ish character, on the nose, it's pretty good. On the palate, the guava stuff is still pretty vibrant and tasty, but the hops are showing their age for sure. It's got good bitterness, and the guava is dominant thankfully. Good beer, down a couple of points from where it would have been, too.

Guava, cloves, spruce, straw, and lavender. Sweet and malty and sugary, with a mellow, grassy bitterness. Light to medium body, sticky, and slick. Easy and pretty solid.

16 oz can. Aroma is guava, piney, orange creamsicle, crackery malt. Pours hazy golden with a one+ finger white head with excellent retention. Taste is highly bitter with flavors of pine and guava. Perfectly carbonated mouthfeel for IPA. So crushable. So good.

Draft from Bloodbuzz at Prost Food Cart pod in Portland. Honey gold pour. Small white head. Faint citrus aroma. Flavor is somewhat dry with mild citrus and spicy hops. Not getting much guava, though.

16oz can from Tavour. Clear golden pour, thin layer of white foam. Fruity aroma, notes of guava. Guava picks up in the taste, tropical, fruity, with a little bit of pine. Kind of dry finish.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Special Brews. Clean golden pour, shiny, plenty of thick foam head. Lots of juicy tropical notes throughout, while maintaining the inviting west coast IPA flavor profiles. Really refreshing, excellent tropical aroma. Ideal summer IPA here if you like it on the fruit side with no fruit harmed (I think)
