Draft: Poured a hazy bright blonde color ale with a nice large foamy head with good retention and some great lacing. Aroma of citrusy and tropical fruit hops notes is quite nice. Taste is a mix of tropical fruit and citrusy notes with limited bitterness and a dry finish. Body is light of style with good carbonation. Refreshing, easily drinkable with nice hoppy flavours.

Can at home. Muddled pour not all that pretty. Lovely nose o’s tropical fruits. Tastes of guava, peach, pineapple, stone fruit, touch of minerals, some forest floor. Drier than expected. Thin bodied with bubblgum finish.

Draught at Mystic Station, 7/9/16.
Thoroughly hazy, soft, lemon-meets-copper golden body is topped by a thin, but dense, white head showing modest retention.
Sublime mix of New England-style juiciness and strong dank/green spiciness balancing each other wonderfully. Very soft biscuit and honey-like malts in the background do not disrupt the hop bouquet. Mango, lime, watermelon, spiciness, nectarine, juicy pineapple, kiwi....it’s all here and brings no alcohol or flaw with it.
Similar flavor, of course, with a soft, malty texture showing high attenuation and tight, fine carbonation. Extremely refreshing, juicy, spicy and drinkable with just enough bitterness. No resin or alcohol.
After having the Galaxy single hop from Lost Nation, I’m not surprised at the level of quality here, although this one is significantly better than even that one was. Right up there with the premier New England IPA brewers and really impressive for all this at just 5.5%
The late August and mid September batches have diacetyl both on draught and in cans, which is too bad, but I’m going to keep my score where it is and hope this is just a small blip that is corrected.

Poured from can hazy gold with a thin white head. Aromas of juicy resinous hops with a nice bready malt backbone. Taste is slightly sweet with notes of dank citrus and balanced bitterness. --- Beer merged from original tick of Mosaic IPA on 24 Mar 2016 at 22:39 - Score: 7

Can on the way to JFK. Pours mostly clear yellow-gold with a foamy white head. The nose has some nice dank hops, grapefruit, melon and tangerine. Medium sweet flavour with good grapefruit juice character, some mellow rindy bitterness, understated pale bready malts. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Nice and juicy on the finish, with more grapefruit, melon and mango. Really good stuff.
