A 100% grain Double IPA made with imported malt, galaxy hops in the boil, whirlpool and dry hopping stage. Hopped with a whopping seven pounds of hops per barrel. Completely unfiltered, the velvety golden appearance is due to dissolved solids, protein, and yeast haze and the multiple grains used. The tropical fruit nose is just as tantalizing as the famous Bossa Nova music of Brazil.

Ex-Novo Bossa Hazy 8.3% Hazy orange gold with a HUGE dense head of foam. The aroma gave coconut and some sharp tropical notes. Medium bodied the taste gives subtle coconut, pithy bitter orange rinds and bitter earthiness is the finish. Canned in March 2020,nice but more bitter than juicy.

Draught @ Zeezicht Breda. Unclear almost milky very hazy pale yellow color, medium sized white head. Aroma is mostly citrussy, orange peel. Flavor is more soft and balanced: nicely happy, fruity and sweetie ripe tropical fruit flavors. Lacks resin pine and bitterness to be a great IIPA imo, at least how I like my IIPA.

Very cloudy orange beer, creamy yellowish head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: lots and lots of passion fruit, super nice, some sweet pineapple, really lovely stuff. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty sweet start, bit sugary, very fruity, nice bitterness, lots of grapefruit, some sweet malts, hint of marzipan. Aftertaste: fruity, lots of passion fruit, pretty bitter finish, more grapefruit, man this is good stuff, lovely stuff, I'm very impressed!

Thanks Justin for sharing the can! Poured into a snifter showing moderately filtered pale gold with a sparse white head. The nose shows moderate notes of candied orange with light pineapple that changes into an orange creamsicle upon warming up. The palate is medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Light flavors of orange and pineapple with barely any bitterness.

CBS vertical tasting @ Tim's. Nice yellow orange look, not very carbonated. Lightly cloudy. Juicy tropical NE nose but in a bit half-assed way (not complaining, still good). Dank hops. Tastes actually really juicy and without extra lacto softness, so feels even better than I thought. Clean and juicy with limited bitterness. Great drinkability and works as juicy IPA, not so hazy.

Slightly hazy golden color. Nice frothy white head. Just nice papaya, guava and mango in the nose. Medium full body with good hop acidity and fairly aggressive bitterness. Mildly sweet. Nice tropical fruit finish. Excellent

Good to be #10. Can from CraftShack. Pours very hazy grapefruit style with a transient white head. Aroma is juicy mixed fruits - say tropical and citrus. Med + body. Flavor is juicy, almost got to dank, and it is mixed fruits. Not all that dry but hoppy and bitter. And juicy. Pretty good stuff. Gets more towards dank with time.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is lots of tropical fruit juice. Flavor is again a nice hoppy tropical fruit juice with a super chewy mouth feel. Kind of a jumble of tropical fruit hops and not one stood out over the other but this was still a decent hop juice bomb with no alcohol felt.
