LOVE is bursting with hoppy tropical flavors. Built on a simple base of Pilsner malt and rolled oats, this super dank IPA has a pillowy mouthfeel and is double dry-hopped with Mosaic, Citra and Sabro. Flavors of mango, cantaloupe, and citrus will keep you infatuated.

Can. A- Dank, catty, grass, citrus. A- Golden orange color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Papaya, guava, tropical citrus, dank, mild bitterness, grassy. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- At 5 months old this was pretty damn good so I imagine fresh out of the tanks this would be excellent. Really dank and citrusy on the nose and it pretty much translates to the palate. Not super hazy and NE style but it's there just with a West Coast influence. Like that Almanac is canning now. Good stuff.

Can from Cap Tap. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of tropical fruits and citrus. Med body. Flavor is citrusy juicy with a good dose of tropicals - think pineapple is in the mix. Dry. Fruity. Moderately bitter. Good ale.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving sheet lacing. Orange, mango and pineapple aromas. Dry with dusty orange peel, mango skin and pineapple rind front to back. Lasting earth finish.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a hazy straw gold with a full two fingers of foam that lingers. Gooseberry, lychee and citrus aromas on the nose with some light piney notes as it warms. Smooth and soft, pillowy mouthfeel on the palate. Tropical fruit, peach and great balance between sweet and mild bitterness. Some light dragonfruit notes as it warms with a slight pithy note on the finish. Really well executed.

32oz crowler pours with a hazy near opaque gold copper body that supports a full dirty white head of foam. The aroma offers up some sweet malts, strawberry, earthy pale malt infused tea, mango and faint cantaloupe. The taste delivers smooth semi sweet and semi juicy mango, cantaloupe and a pleasing layer of earthy tea. Around the edges it has a thin ring of muted sweetened berry. This pulls together nicely. Easy drinking and smooth.

Pour is blande hazy with a large white head. Aroma is a pretty good tropical fruit with lots of peach. Flavor is a bit pithy bitter with some honey malt and orange zest. The aroma was spot on for the style but the flavor was a bit thin and bitter.

32 oz crowler filled at Almanac, brought back and shared by Tcon. Huge thanks for this one! My first ever favorite brewery, and I'll never get tired of trying my best to try all of their amazing beers. A glowing hazy golden orange pour. Cream foam head. A delicious IPA here. On you just gulp down. Has bright and fresh citrus like hop aroma. Creamy body, flavor is a little more bold as it settles. Onion like hops up front, with a citrus bitter background. Thick lingering palate. A delicious IPA. I want more!
