2XSMASH is the newest in our line of single malt and single hop India Pale Ales, brewed with Mosaic hops and Special pale malt. Even simplified to one variety of hop and one type of malt, it is amazing how complex the flavor is. Mosaic hops are known for their luxurious tropical citrus notes like passionfruit and work absolutely brilliantly with the richness of Special pale malt. Cheers!

Can. Earthy pine/grapefruit peel, tangerine, and caramel malt aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Moderately sweet orange caramel malt, and moderately bitter pine/grapefruit peel flavor. Good body. Hops a bit subdued - great balance though.

Can: Slightly hazy amber with a tall beige head. BIG tangerine, pineapple aroma. Taste is sweet and tropical.....passion fruit, pineapple, sweet tangerine. Peppery, piney bittering. Juicy, almost pulpy feeling. Easy to drink, with just a hint of alcohol dryness. Very good.

8 week old can from mixed 15 > tulip A: Clear tawny orange gold with a finger of tight tan foam, retaining very well and leaving patchy lace. S: Mostly malty smell of caramel and honeysuckle with a little orange or tangerine. T: Sweet baked bread and some alcohol, with a hint of candied orange barely coming through. Oddly a bit like fruitcake or rumcake. A slight woody dryness to finish. M: Medium heavy body, low to average carbonation and slightly resinous finish. O: Not bad if you like boozy malty DIPAs. Not a favorite style though I am enjoying the 3 from the pack.

This beer is a slightly cloudy orange-gold color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Strings of lacing. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, herbal hops and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

12 ounce bottle. Bright honey gold is topped by a moderate rocky beige head an great lacing. Nice spicy hop nose hints at mango, grass and lime zest. Upfront, flavor is robust with notes of toasted malt, berry, tropical fruit and bubblegum. Wonderfully complex and spicy. Some boozy notes in finish. Quite tasty.

Delivered in a mail delivery no knowledge, no alliegeance. Really a very fine presentation. Pop the cap of the 12 oz. bottle and take it from there. A nice grapefruit and pine scent. It tastes of juniper, lime and a little something metallic. Quite full of hop effect. Typically a very good brew containing Mosaic hops. I have found beers with Mosaic have been appreciated significantly more. Nice, nice. Jumps up and down on my taste buds. Pretty swell.

Tasting at Matt’s, DOB 12/11/15, 09 55AM
Cloudy golden color. Amazing how this beer (that was recently purchased in WA), in just few months became a sweet cereal soup, a bit fruity, a bit resiny, more than drinkable per se, but clearly old.
