Heavily dry hopped with Mosaic - imparting vast amounts of juicy/tropical notes. Mango, citrus, melon and vanilla 😋. We also added a light amount of lactose which combined with the flaked oats, makes for a super smooth ride and velvety soft mouth feel. The lactose also provides a subtle hint of sweetness which rounds out the experience.

Nice cloudy orange body, soft head on top. Has a very soft fresh orange aroma. Flavour is murky and slightly hairy hops, muddy fruit. Medium finish. Nothing is pronounced, nothing is memorable.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out a moderately dank hoppiness, with some citrus, pine and biscuity malt. Flavour is mega-dank, with loads of tropical, dank, and piney hops, intense fruitiness, and just enough biscuity malt to back. So juicy, fresh and tropical, with just the right dankness. Wonderful IPA - one of Boombox's best.

Can, Legacy. Looks terrible, just dull and murky. Not much head. The aroma showcases papaya and grapefruit hop. The palate is moderately bitter, with some bright papaya hop notes, and a bit of pithy bitterness towards the finish. It's a bit on the yeasty side, but soft and smooth. The lactose/vanilla is restrained, just lending a little bit of sweetness for balance. Not bad.

2019-02-21, draught at Parallel 49, Vancouver, 300ml, 8-3-8-5-17=41
Murky dark blond. Not very dank, the aroma is mostly fruity and a bit piney; the fruit is tropical. Very good mouthfeel, soft and robust, with moderate sweetness; quite juicy, with a blend of tropical fruit and some piney hops, the bitterness is decent for the style.
Excellent.
2019-02-08, can at The Gull, North Vancouver, 8-3-8-5-18=42
Cloudy blond colour. The aroma is extremely dank. Sweet crisp malt base, dank and juicy hops with rich and creamy lactose.
Wonderful.
