The Mosaic hops brewed in this beer, gives it a very citrusy, earthy pine, and tropical fruit taste with a hop forward flavor. Though higher in alcohol, the RNR is very well balanced with a smooth bitter grapefruit finish.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy medium golden/yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, melon, pear, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper/pine, cracker, bread, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, melon, pear, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, cracker, bread, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/citrus peel/grassy/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, melon, pear, lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, cracker, bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from lingering bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp/sticky/grainy, and lightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Slight rinds. Zero warming alcohol for 7.5%. Overall this is a very nice IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink with the mellow bitterness/dryness. Nice hop vibrancy without being too malty. This claims to have all Mosaic hops. They don’t taste like them at all, but this was still very enjoyable all around.

Draft. Orange, caramel malt, and grapefruit peel aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Moderately sweet orange, caramel malt, and moderately bitter grapefruit peel flavor. Good body. Pretty good - no surprises.

tap - Pours orange with a lingering head that laces nicely. It has an aroma of citrus hops and malt. It’s bitter up front, of course, and also had kind of an odd flavor that made me think of oatmeal. It’s an okay beer but a bit off.
