16 ounce can from the Boise Co-op Meridian. Orange golden pour with a mild Haze and a huge towering Rocky head. Aroma is a bit of bready malts and some light tropical fruit notes. Tropical notes carry over to the taste for an initial sweetness, which quickly turns into a flat dry bitterness from the Hops. This is the opposite of Juicy. Still trying to figure out if I like this or not, the dry finish is a bit rough. Also note that it was cammed and November of 2018, and was purchased in March of 2019.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 11/28/2018. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big juicy mangoes, red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, melon, guava, blueberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, mangoes, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge juicy mangoes, red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, melon, guava, blueberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mangoes, red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, melon, guava, blueberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, mangoes, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and crisp/sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is a fantastic fruited IPA. All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, mangoes, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink with the moderately bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Amazing mosaic showcase. Extremely juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy hops/fruit; with a nice solid pils malt backbone. No residual sweetness from crisp resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on west coast style example. Loved the hop profile as expected.
