Newly brewed in 2018 with three of our favorite IPA hops, Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy, and dry-hopped three separate times. This New England style IPA pours a hazy straw yellow with a pillowy white head. The tropical punch aroma of ripe mango, pineapple and grapefruit will hit your palette and the creamy mouthfeel comes from a hefty addition of flaked oats as well as lactose sugar.

Pours hazy yellow and smells of hoppy tropical fruit. The fruit, malty sweetness, and hop resin work well together in this well made hazy ipa.

Can from Tavour Hazy lemon yellow with a huge frothy white head that slowly dissipates. Huge grapefruit and pineapple that is overripe on the nose. Feels like lactose artificial sweetness. Yeah not for me

Green can with a bronze pulltab. Smell of perfumy IPA permeates the room, almost sweet. Yes, its hazy and yes, it has a big foamy head. Taste is bitter ass fer-esh IPA hops, maybe a little bit of butter in there. Big strong bitter viscous IPA feelings. No B.O. or diesel nose, but it does just keep assaulting the taste buds and back of throat, whew! Yes, almost medicinal with alky in the end. No session IPA here, its the real terribly on-style thing, thanks; I mean; no-thanks. Ubiquitous IPA all the way. Approaches impy status. Straight away rude ass style. Can was $3, not worth it for a cheapo macro lager lover.

03/12/19, smells gorgeous, shame it has lactose as I feel like they could have done this without but it's still pretty great. Dies quick cause probably a lactose intolerant murderous amount of lactose but still smells and tastes pretty great.
