An absurd amount of new school German hops Huell Mellon & Manderina Bavaria are accented with Mosaic & Centennial laid upon a base of pale malts, flaked oats and lactose.. lingering herbaceous bitterness floats on a cotton candy wave.

Huge, dense, yellowish head over paler ochre-amber beer, cloudy. Very fruity nose, melon, passion fruit, tangerine, citrus; even a tad perfumey. Very dry lupulin bomb. Outspokenly resiny, pine, pineflowerpollen; grapefruitpeel, bit of cardboard. Feels better bodied & creamier, no doubt due to the lactose and especially the oats. Good carbonation, very slick. Pretty darn good IPA, IMO. Educated guess: brewed @ Two Roads?

16oz can, purchased from Dominion Wine and Beer. Poured a slightly cloudy yellow-light orange color with a small off-white head. Aroma was citrus, nice light crisp malt. Slightly juicy. Touch of melon. Really nice, delicate. Smooth and easy to drink. Tasty.

Yellow hazy pour, foam does not last long. Aroma has some hop lupulin dust, soft and NE-like. Fruity-juicy. Taste has hops, not only juice but also good bitterness there. Overall, good but not especially interesting, just solid.

16 ounce can. Slightly hazed medium gold color. Fluffy white head. Tropical fruit nose hints at berries and melon. First sip yields a light biscuity malt backbone. Then comes the fruity tangerine notes. Hints of papaya and more berry. Some earthy, herbal flavors in middle. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel from the lactose and oats. Overall, very flavorful and fruity. Mildly bitter hop finish.
