Can 1 pint. Pours an opaque, greenish golden with hardly any head. Heavy, green hops, quite dank. Thick, chewy body, lowish carbonation, biting green hops. At least it's not sweet. But it comes out almost chemical with all the hop intensity. 130520

16 ounce can. Hazy yellow gold color. Small bubbly white head. Aggressive dank citrus aroma is redolent of grapefruit. Sweet citrus flavor upfront. Notes of stone fruit, melon and tangerine. Spicy white pepper finish.

Sweet and crispy hop juice. That dry Mosaic and eureka make for a beautifully crisp IPA.

$5.30 pint can, WW. Pours hazy gold with a soft off-white head. Aroma is citrus peel, light funky cheese, light tropical fruit. Flavor is citrus peel, blueberry?, caramel, pine, peach. Not overly impressive, especially at the price point. EDITING TO ADD: The longer this beer sits in my glass, the less I like it. Dropping 1 point in both taste and overall.

Pour is typical hazy IPA with almost no head at all. Aroma is a real nice tropical fruit juice with some red berry in there as well. Flavor is awesome as well. Lots of mango and pineapple with almost no bitterness felt. Not as thick of a mouthfeel as other hazy IPA's but this had one of the better fruity flavor profiles of any I have had recently. This brewer pretty much makes all hazy IPA's and they are pretty good at it.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned in 3/2019. Pours opaquely hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, blueberry, black currant, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, blueberry, black currant, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, woody, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, blueberry, black currant, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance; light lingering hop astringency through the glass, but not overwhelming. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is good. A bit too resinous/drying than expected. Minimal warming 7.5%, with lightly increasing hop burn through the glass after the finish. Overall this is an outstanding NEIPA. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink, despite the increasingly bitter/resinous/drying finish; not overly aggressive. Awesome Eureka/Mosaic profile. Extremely juicy, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; with a great wheat/oat/malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and well made style example otherwise.
